These are short term loans built around a property rather than a paycheck. Hard money funds fast and is priced for speed. A rehab loan lends against what the property will be worth once the work is finished, so the budget for the work is part of the loan. Both exist for situations a bank timeline cannot serve.

Who it fits

This loan fits you if

  • You are buying something a traditional lender will not finance in its current condition
  • You need to close in days rather than weeks
  • You have a scope of work and a realistic budget
  • You have a clear exit, a sale or a refinance, before the term ends
