Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Should I consider a hard money loan?

    Only if you have one or more of the following problems:

    1. Currently have poor credit or have a poor credit history such as late payments, judgments, defaults or bankruptcies, or

    2. Own property which would otherwise not qualify for a loan from a conventional lender such as bare land, non-conforming rental, commercial or industrial property, or

    3. May have good credit but need money quickly for such purposes as an immediate investment opportunity, a tax-deferred exchange requirement or other situations which are time-critical.

    This type of loan may be the only way to obtain the needed cash from the equity you have accumulated in your property.
