When you go online be aware of finding hard money lenders on forums, chat rooms and local classifieds. “All I have to do is pay a small pre-payment fee and I can get a killer private money low interest rate”. Any hard money lender asking for prepay fees outside of a basic appraisal is a red flag. Appraisals are needed in every type of financing, conventional, stated income, bridge funding, etc. Again, beware of who you are talking to in regard to pre-pay fees (we and any reputable lender does not charge any) If there is a specific scenario where some form of payment is involved,  get your real estate attorney to look the whole thing over very carefully. Due diligence is paramount in any form of residential (investment non owner occupied homes) or commercial mortgage loans.

   ​Pre-qualification in the traditional sense is really not​ practical in the private money sector as we are looking more at the collateral than the borrower’s qualifications. However, if you are close to purchasing a real estate investment and have the down payment or a property to collateralize with, please contact us to streamline the process.

   ​Most likely, yes. If the property has enough equity and/or cash flow bad credit is OK, and may be a non issue. We finance real estate loans that traditional banks turn down for numerous reasons including bad credit.
