Bigger Pockets Suggests Hard Money Lenders As Great Source Of Funding For House Flippers Starting Out

Bigger Pockets is a huge online resource that helps ordinary people build wealth through real estate. It’s an incredibly popular resource because of it’s free tools and information. Bigger Pockets recently suggested that hard money lenders like Paces Funding, is a great source of funding for home flippers for investors who know they can flip a home quickly. Check out what the article said. Here’s an excerpt.

“This source of OPM can be especially useful if the house you are flipping can be completed in a very short period of time. Like any other kind of loan, the shorter you hold the loan, the less you’ll pay in interest. The longer you hold the property, the more you pay in interest.”

They also gave good advice about making sure that the home flip can happen quickly. For example, home flippers who won’t be able to score an alternate form of financing eventually need to make sure that the market is good for selling. You can check to see the average time a home is on the market in the area where you intend to purchase. If the average time on the market is something fiercely slow like several months, you might consider skipping that home flipping market and moving to one where homes only stay on the market for weeks. There are markets where homes stay on the market less than two weeks.

Bigger Pockets also points out that when determining your ROI, you must also calculate taxes, including property taxes, fees, points and interest on your hard money loan. Hard money loans are invaluable tools for smart investors.
