What do you do when a pre approval letter is required by the realtor but you’re using hard money?

Your hard money lender should be able to give you some documentation (sometimes called proof of funds).

@Juan Ayala

Get the hard money guy to write a preapproval letter for you. No reason that they can’t.

Typically, a hard money lender can issue a preapproval letter or a term sheet which could serve similar purpose.
