Getting Financing Through a Hard Money Lender
Financing is one of the most important aspects of fixing and flipping houses, but here’s where many people get it wrong: They should be working with a hard money lender, but they’re not.
The two biggest myths on financing fix-and-flips is that you have to work through a bank or you have to use your own cash to buy the house. You could end up missing a great deal because you’re not able to pull together the cash in time.
Why a Hard Money Lender Might Be Right for Your Transaction
Typically, working with a hard money lender is much faster than it is working with a traditional lender. Hard money lenders can give you money based on a house’s after-repair value, or ARV, too (that means they’ll lend you money based on what the house is going to be worth once you’re done making repairs and improvements, not what it’s worth now; that can give you extra leeway when it comes to paying for those repairs and improvements).
