Hard money loans are a great option for real estate investors who need quick funding ⚡️ and want to skip the traditional bank red tape.
These loans are based more on the value of the property itself 🏠 than your personal financial situation—no need for perfect credit 📉 or a long history of tax returns 💼. But, like any tool, they come with their own set of pros and cons. They can be costly 💵, but they’re typically interest-only, which makes the monthly payments more manageable.
If you’re a new investor 💡, LTV (Loan-to-Value) is something to keep an eye on 👀, as it’ll determine how much you can borrow relative to your property’s value. More experienced investors 🏆 may get better terms, but always be aware of those interest rates 📊 and prepayment penalties 🚫! When should you use a hard money loan?
Use them if you need fast approval ⏱ or if the numbers on your deal make sense for a short-term loan. But don’t use them if you're planning on holding onto the property for the long haul 🏚️ without major changes. So, if you’ve been considering a fix-and-flip project 🔧, this is the video for you! Make sure you do your homework 📝, and remember to always assess the deal’s potential 💡.
