Hard Money for Commercial Property

Borrowers use California Hard Money loans for investing in real estate such as commercial property. In contrast, a mortgage is usually reserved for your primary residence, has a formal application process and longer repayment terms. California Hard Money lenders however, which are typically private investors or small companies, will sometimes lend money when a bank or traditional lender will not. The tradeoff of a hard money loan is a higher interest rate. When getting a hard money loan for an investment property including commercial property, you face the risk that the investment will not turn a profit. Before attempting to borrow from a hard money lender, understand the payment terms and other lending criteria and do your homework. Inquire about the lender's history and terms before settling on a hard money lender. Hard money lenders use the property value to determine the loan-to-value. For example, a LTV of 65 percent means the lender will only lend up to 65 percent of the value of the investment home. Some lenders require that you fill out a credit application and provide income verification such as a W-2, pay stubs and tax returns. However, since hard money loans are for real estate investments, many lenders only use the property value and an inspection of the property as a basis for the loan which may be difficult to gauge when dealing with commercial property.
