Hard Money - A hard money loan is a specific type of financing in which a borrower receives funds based on the value of a specific parcel of commercial real estate. Hard money loans are typically issued at much higher interest rates than conventional commercial or residential property loans and are almost never issued by a commercial bank or other deposit institution.Hard money loans are usually a last resort and usually not only carry high rates but unfavorable terms also. Make sure you understand the terms of a hard money loan and you have exhausted all other options before entering into a contract for a hard money loan.
Hard Money is usually an asset based loan. Most Hard Money lenders will lend a percentage of the fair market value of a property. The percentage can range from 50% to 70%. These loans are great for real estate investors, borrowers with very poor credit, and for foreclosure bailouts.
Hard money lenders don't report your payments to the credit bureaus. Even if you make all of your payments on time, you will not build positive credit.
