An incredible bargain on a fix and flip property in a nice neighborhood suddenly turns up — sounds too good to be true. Expert property flippers, similar to the young married couple on Flip or Flop, HGTV's reality flipping show, are capable of earning a gain of $40-$50k as an average on more than one occasion. Of course, you also realize that their success are attributed to the fact that they're experts, are knowledgeable in hard money loans, they know the marketplace really well and furthermore, they know how to work a public auction for getting a good price. Still, your rehab and remodeling skills aren't bad either — aside from that, you have already identified a suitable general contractor to start the project.

But financing can be a different problem altogether. If you opt for a regular loan from the bank, you will have to wait roughly 1 to 2 months up until the financing is approved and your money is ready to go. So if you will be anticipating a fast closing, it is important to understand that this could cost you a couple of weeks, causing you to miss out on the sale.

On top of this, banks have already been tightening up their lending standards as of late, rendering it more challenging for people to get a regular home loan if their credit situation is not perfect or he does not have a regular salaried occupation. So does that leave you with no other option, but to give up your ambition to venture into flipping? Not at all, especially while Beachwood hard money loans can help you achieve great things in real estate.

If you put in an application for a hard money home loan in Beachwood, you have access to what's perhaps most essential to real estate purchases across the country — a fast closing of around a couple weeks. Additionally, financing can be made up to 70% loan-to-value of the "as is" valuation, as calculated by a licensed appraiser. With the loan rates starting at about 10%, hard money real estate loans may look, at first, to be more costly in comparison with traditional bank loans. But when you understand these loans are not long-term home loans, the rate tends to be misleading. Short-term loans of several months to a handful of years are best looked at in terms of cost of capital, very much like all other costs involved with a project. Right after you fix up and sell off the property, recuperating this expense is the same as recovering the cost of the home appliances you put in the place.

Apart from this, hard money mortgages are not difficult to qualify for, even when you have got a weak credit score. Beachwood hard money lenders don't take on a loan strictly according to the person's credit score — rather they additionally evaluate the home, its value and location, and the property's capability to pay back the financing independent of the borrower. The total amount that a borrower can put down beforehand for the property, how much experience he has in real estate investments, and price range of equivalent homes in the area are various other factors that go into determining an applicant's eligibility for a hard money real estate loan.

Locating a hard money lender in Beachwood to finance your real estate project is not very hard, as long as the opportunity that lies before you is promising and boasts a good potential for returns. Fill out the contact form or call us to talk about your property or properties.
