Commercial Hard Money Texas

Traditional sources of real estate money have become much more difficult due to the current state of the financial industry. Investors are finding it necessary to find more creative solutions to take advantage of the great bargains available today, or to simply leverage their existing assets. There are many interesting loan options available on the market these days that promise to get you an amount of money but have different levels of availability.

Many investors who have easily gotten funding before are now finding it difficult, if not impossible because of risk of investment, limited availability of funds or any number of other various factors. This is where a hard money loan can present a very good option. These are also known as private money loans and are the perfect solution to your funding needs for a real estate investment project, be it refinance, cash out, acquisition, rehab, repositioning, construction or any other real estate investment project that requires funding for a short term period of time. These type loans are also referred to as bridge loans, gap loans, asset based or equity based loans.

Hard money loans are usually asset based where a piece of investment property is used as collateral. This makes it possible to get a loan even if the credit rating of the individual is as low as 570 or the project carries a higher than normal risk. There are hard money loans available that are not security based, but they require many levels of insurance that the individual will repay the loan within the set time boundary.

There are differences in the way that hard money loans work as they are not regulated in the same way that other types of loans are. They are meant to have a fast turnaround on payment so you will be expected to repay the loan very quickly, usually 12 to 24 months. This is due to the fact that private investors put their money into your projects. They see a quick way to earn money with their investments so they put in large amounts of capital into these types of loans. That is why it is important that you only take on this type of loan if you have the means to repay the loan, or you risk losing your collateral or worse, destroying your credit or forcing negative bankruptcy.

There are many lenders of hard money loans around the State of Texas. They are very common in the real estate market when it comes to repositioning, rehabbing or flipping commercial or residential investment properties. Many private lenders would be happy to discuss your projects and structure a loan for you. Most hard money or private loans take approximately 3 to 5 days to approve and 2 to 4 weeks to close.
