DoHardMoney.com / other hard money lenders.

Realtor · Member since 2018 · 54 posts · 7 votes
I’m looking into hard money lending companies, also working on building relationships with possible future investors or lenders. I came across DoHardMoney.com and am qualified for a loan. I talked to them and they said after the deal when it’s time to pay back; the only way they make money is from interest and points solely. So what I am asking is what is a typical average rate that would make sense on a deal. And what rates and points should I watch out for as a big NO! Thank you!

there is a publication called Scottsman guide.. this will list a lot of the top lenders.

keep in mind HML want to see some experience and skin in the game to get decent rates. DHM from what they say will give you a lot of leverage although from what others have posted about rates they are the very highest in the industry and for sure if they are going to risk begineers with little to no money into the deals that's what they can command.

they also charge 3k for their study guides which used to be mandatory but from what we are hearing on BP its now optional.. 

here are some regional lenders that are for real.

and then you will have local lenders I like to go local when I can but I have done business with all but lending one .. and they all have their pluses and minuses..

    @Jay Hinrichs Thank you for the heads up, we are seeing a natural slow down here as well.  I will absolutely keep that in mind before I do anything.

     NOthing says you cant negotiate the term to be 9 months before you owe an extension fee.. most lenders will charge 1 point for an extension fee.

    Just to chime in... @Christi Hawkins before I even saw Jay's post I also cringed when I saw you mention the 5 month timeline. I was lucky enough to have a friend who had flipped in the past and suggested we not go for a 6 month loan on a rehab and to go longer because things can go wrong. Lo and behold here we are facing a number of setbacks and delays and much happier we at least took the 12 month option.

    It sure sounds like this company will be making more money than you will on a deal.
