Ask specific questions about their process for getting a loan approval, underwriting, and property valuation.

-Do they pull credit

-Do they get an appraisal on every property

-Is underwriting in house

-Is the money in house

How many people will review your information before you get a loan approval?

If they are getting an appraisal and pulling your credit, it will be difficult to close in under 2 weeks and you will be paying points + fees. You are paying a high interest rate for Hard money, find a hard money lender/private money lender that makes the process easy and able to fund quickly. Find a hard money lender that is truly “asset-based”, they won’t have an issue closing in 2-3 days. They will give you a loan estimate with any points/fees laid out within minutes of you talking to them.

Good luck!
