What Are Hard Money Loans Texas, and How do I Get One?

If you are a real estate investor, you need hard money loans Texas financial experts use themselves. Hard money loans are a little know but very effective financing strategy that can help you invest in real estate and make your dreams come true. 

There is a well kept secret in the investment world, hard money loans Texas financial experts agree are a good option for many real estate investors. A hard money loan is an asset based loan that uses real estate that is intended for purchase as collateral for the loan. The money loaned is based on a variety of factors including the merit of the investment, potential to earn money, and the value of the property you are buying. Other factors like credit score or personal finances don't usually figure into the lender's decision to give out hard money loans Texas investors rely on to finance their real estate purchases.

While there are many, many benefits to hard money loans, Texas investors have often never heard of them. Hard money loans can be a great way to get financing if you need fast cash, or have some blips in your credit history. Approval time is fast and you can usually get your money the same day. This makes them an investors dream come true because you can use them to purchase auction properties and other properties that may require a quick decision or a cash only sale.

Once you have decided that a hard money loan is the best option for you, here are 3 things you need to know before you buy.

1. Hard money loans have a higher interest rate. Since approval times are so fast and the impact of your credit score is so low, hard money loans are a higher risk for the lender which means you pay a higher interest rate. However, it is important to keep in mind that hard money loans should be short term loans, which means the amount of interest you pay is negligible, even if the rate is higher.

2. Make sure you have a plan. While hard money loans are easy to get, they are not given out to anyone who walks through the door. Come to your lender with a property in mind and plan to make money, This will help ensure that you get your loan quickly and without any hassle.

3. Always have an exit strategy. This goes along with having a plan. Make sure you crunch your numbers to figure out exactly what you need to sell a property for to break even and to make a profit. Prepare for the worst case scenario so you don't end up losing it all.
