Hard money loans are short-term, asset-backed loans secured by the property you're buying or renovating, not your tax returns or credit score. Loma Linda investors use them when a deal moves faster than a bank can, or when the property doesn't qualify for conventional financing. If you own or control a property with enough equity, you can likely qualify.
Loan Terms
Rates typically run 9% to 13% depending on the deal, the property type, and your experience. Most lenders fund up to 70% to 80% LTV on purchase, and up to 90% of total project cost on fix-and-flip deals with strong ARV. Closing takes 7 to 14 business days on most transactions, sometimes faster with a clean file.
