When it comes to fixer uppers, you have to have some extra cash. It’s not always difficult to find a property with potential on the market, but you also need to invest in possibly modernizing the home, fixing problem areas, and making it valuable to potential buyers.
If you don’t have extra money lying in the bank or a generous relative who can invest in you and your project, you are probably considering mortgage lenders to help fund your project. But what makes a successful mortgage lender who is worth your time and efforts?
What Is Hard Money—and Who Offers It?
Mortgage lenders can be public or private. When most people think of loans, they probably think of traditional money lenders, like banks and credit unions. These options are here for you, but with a catch. They have high expectations of their borrowers and the requirements for acquiring a loan can be strict. Simply, not everyone may qualify. Fortunately, there are other options if you don’t qualify with a traditional lender. Something else you may not know is that private, alternative loan lenders may be better for renovation projects anyways.
If you do not obtain a loan from a public loan lender, you may be interested in speaking with a private hard money lender. A private hard money lender is an untraditional loan option by private individuals or companies. Because private hard money lenders are not backed by large, public companies, they can work on an individualized basis. Just because you don’t qualify with a public lender, does not mean you will not qualify for fix and flip loans with a Private Money lender.
Private lenders and mortgage brokers offer something called hard money. Once approved, hard money can usually be obtained within the week so you are able to begin working on your renovation project, or bidding on the competitive housing market, right away. Because private hard money lenders are speedy and flexible, they come with higher interest rates. Borrowers may still choose to work with private hard money lenders for their fix and flip loans because of the time line.
Hard money is meant to be paid back fast—within the year—and a successful renovation project smooth updating and a quick sale makes repaying the loan in such a timeline possible. Borrowers may also be interested in speed because of the increased ability to obtain a house with potential. Being able to obtain it makes the project possible, and not all homes are great contenders as fixer uppers.
