Can I covert hard money loan to conventiamo mortgage?

Can I covert hard money loan to conventiamo mortgage?

Member since 2020 · 55 posts · 20 votes

I just lost out on a house to some paying cash. It got me thinking, can I buy a fixer upper with a hard money loan, in order to make a cash offer?

Seems like this will greatly enhance my chances of actually getting a home my market. Could I then use additional hard Kirby funds for renovation and then sell the property to myself

And get a congenital mortgage? What would that process be like?

Thanks

Bear in mind, many Realtors and agents will see an offer with a hard money loan as, well, a loan offer, not a cash offer.

The had money Lender still has to approve the deal, so it is still based upon loan approval by a ‘lender’.

    Hey Bob, Yes, my realtor actually did this a few months back. Bought a home with a hard money loan expecting to flip it, the flip took longer then he would have liked and he decided that he could rent it out for a decent amount. He then refinanced it into a conventional loan after owning it for about 5-6 months.

    Feel free to message me with any questions!
