First Property and need a Hard Money Loan

First Property and need a Hard Money Loan

Hey guys! I’m new to the Real Estate world and looking to finally get my feet wet! I have a property that I’m interested in and was told it needs to be cash. Spoke to my brother about the situation and he said I needed a Hard Money Loan. Not sure what that means though. Any advice or connections would be greatly appreciated!

    Hard money is a short term loan that can typically close within 2 weeks. It's pretty much the same as cash and they give you a loan based off the asset not your financial situation. Hard money is typically expensive with points, interest, and etc but it's a good tool to use when getting started. What state is the property in? I might know a lender depending on your state

    @Davian Brown thank you so much for your response! The property is in Tennessee!

    I'm in New Jersey so I wouldn't be familiar with any lenders out there. I'm sure you could find a few on Bigger pockets or even from a simple google search. It's just vital to vet them out and find out if their legit or not.

    Hello Gabriel,

    Does the property require rehab or is it turn-key. Depending on the loan size your best bet may be a local community bank.

    @Bob Green it doesn’t need too much, $5k maximum. Mainly just cosmetics.

    OK it sounds turn-key. I don't think you need a hard money lender.
