Tips to Obtaining Hard Money Loans Fast

Hard money loans are used for short-term projects, usually ranging from as little as 30 days to 5 years. But these loans also come with higher interest rates. But if you need to get extra finances quickly, this type of funding is the right choice for you.

Fast approvals are usually quite easy when it comes to hard money loans. On top of quick approvals, these loans also come with high flexibility and less documentation is required for approval. Usually they are used as a last resort when unable to get a mortgage, but it can be well worth it.

If you are looking to finance a real estate investment, this type of funding is very beneficial in its own ways. The application process is much shorter compared to other loans. Financial history of course does play a role, but other factors come into play as well. Many lenders aren’t concerned with the present value. Their main concern is to see that in a short time, they will be able to make their money back on the investment, including interest.

Since lenders are looking more at the final project, making plans for the property plays a big part and can help you get hard money loans even faster. Most of the time, funding is provided in just a couple of weeks. But if need be, you sometimes can get the funds as little as just a few days, all depending on the lender and certain circumstances.

The first thing to do to obtain a loan quickly is to gather all of the important documentation.

Gathering all of the important documentation and information needed for lenders is one of the most basic factors for a speedy process. Things that lenders are looking for include: what kind of property you are looking to invest in (residential, commercial, industrial or land), the estimated value of the property, the requested loan amount and how the loan with be paid back (this includes the terms of loan, the length and monthly payments).

Not only is the process of getting funds quick, so is the application.

Unlike other loans, hard money loans come with much easier applications. In fact, the application is only 5 pages long. The entire process will even go quicker if you are able to present all of the information that the lender needs sooner rather than later. This is why organization of all of your documents and plans come in handy.
