Why Use Hard Money?

If hard money is expensive, why would you use it? Hard money has its place for certain borrowers who cannot get traditional funding when they need it.

Because the lender is mostly focused on collateral (and less concerned with your financial position), hard money loans can be closed more quickly than traditional loans. They would rather not take possession of your property, but they don't need to spend as much time going through a loan application with a fine toothed comb.

Hard money agreements can also be more flexible than traditional loan agreements. Lenders don't use a standardized underwriting process. Instead, they evaluate each deal individually. Depending on your situation, you may be able to tweak things like the repayment schedules.
