Using hard money

[Darren Nardo]

I am looking for answers on hard money. Not so much answers but just clearer steps.

I want to better understand the exact path taken while using hard money. Whether it’s hard money for flips or hard money to accumulate rentals.

Should you get the hard money lender in line so you are ready when you find a property?

Should you have a property under contract before finding hard money?

If it’s being bought in cash do you need pre approval to even get your offer accepted?

If so, what are the steps in the right direction for a successful hard money deal?

Thank you all!
