What is a Hard Money Loan?

Hard money loans are essentially short-term loans, secured by a tangible asset. Many real estate investors consider them a good alternative to traditional lending for a variety of reasons, with the most important being the ease and speed of the transaction. Due to the competitive nature of the real estate investment industry, the ability to close quickly is a huge advantage for an investor vying for a hot property. Smart investors know that presenting an all-cash offer to a seller can increase the likelihood of securing the deal.

Additionally, hard money lenders are a practical solution for borrowers when conventional banks turn them down. Investors who lack sufficient liquid assets or have questionable or no credit history can borrow against the physical property and not their personal financial assessment. Having the loan backed by the real estate or “hard asset” considerably reduces the risk to the lender. Furthermore, new investors without a successful track record of rehabbing are more likely to get funding with a private real estate loan.​

These loans typically range from 6 to 24 months and normally have a fixed rate, while points and closing costs might vary.

How to get Hard Money Loan in Tampa

Obtaining financing from a hard money lender is a much simpler process than with a traditional bank. While it’s necessary to complete an application, the paperwork requirements are more streamlined. Hard money lenders typically require the basic, two months of bank statements, and a driver’s license. More importance is placed on the value of the asset, projected project timeline, and investor experience over a borrower’s personal assets, credit, and income. It is important to be well-organized, have all documentation verified and in order before approaching a potential lender, as most prefer to work with experienced lenders.

Why Use Fix and Flip Loans ?

Fix-and-flip loans are designed to cover the entire cost of a rehab project. Investors should have a strong grasp on the numbers before shopping for a loan. Compiling the purchase price, renovation costs, and after repair value (ARV) of the asset helps to determine the loan-to-value (LTV), or the amount required for down payment, mortgage rates, and risk to the lender. Generally, lenders base the loan amount on an LTV at or around 65% of the appraised property value. If the “hard asset” or property is valued at around $200k, the loan offered might be in the $130k to $145k range.

Real estate investors should look closely at the cost-to capital, evaluate points, percentages, and closing costs to determine the profit margin and whether a lender’s terms will conform to the rest of the deal. Will there be enough margin to make the deal work? Is the loan consistent with the investment deal? Even the most experienced investors consistently shop around for lenders and loan options, always looking for a great referral.
