Hard money – the truth and the fiction

Hard money is one of the leading forms of alternative financing, other than the black market, which is illegal, so don’t go there. When loans need to happen quickly, or when traditional lenders will not approve a loan, California hard money may be the only option. Let's review how these loans work, just in case you need a refresher. What Is Hard Money? Most loans require proof that you can repay them. I know, right? They don’t want some cracked out kids coming in, getting approved and then walking out the door. I mean, they were certainly doing this before the bubble crashed, but now they want to get all moral on your case.

Usually, lenders are most interested in your credit and income. If you have a solid history of borrowing responsibly and the ability to repay loans, you'll probably have no problem borrowing money.

If you can't qualify for traditional loans, hard money may be an option. Hard money lenders California give out a type of loan that uses an asset (or collateral) to secure the loan. Instead of evaluating a loan's risk based on your financial position, the lender makes sure that they can get their money back by selling your asset if you don't repay as agreed. This could be a nice car, a boat or even your own house. Don’t put your family at risk when considering one of these projects – it just isn’t worth it. Put up the summer home instead.
