You can find local lenders through word-of-mouth, networking at local real estate investor functions or simply preform a Google search. Make sure you find a few and then meet with them individually.

2. Have a conversation— Once you have narrowed it down to a handful of lenders, look into what terms they offer. You can usually find this information on their web site, however you will always get more information from speaking to them. The first part of the conversation will be concerning the borrower’s loan request. The lender will ask a series of questions to determine if they can fund the request. After the lender gathers the information necessary they typically can give a contingent approval and a preliminary quote. This quote is composed of the interest rate, points and any fees (such as processing or underwriting) they will charge. The next part of the conversation will be the borrower asking important questions. Some questions a borrower ought to ask a potential lender are: How long do you take to fund? Do you impose prepayment penalties? How long have you been in hard money lending? Are you a direct lender or a broker?

3. Apply— After you have chosen your lender your next step is to apply for the loan. The Arizona Hard Money Loan is very straightforward.

Some of the documents the borrower will receive are the Fair Lending Notice and the lender’s privacy policy. After the required disclosures have been received, signed and returned, the lender will prepare the loan documents. These documents typically include: Deed of Trust, Note and escrow instructions.

4. Down Payment and Escrow— After all documents have been received the borrower will send their down payment (if one is required) to escrow. As soon as escrow has verified, they have everything needed from the borrower the lender will fund the loan.
