How to Make Money with Owner Occupied Colorado Hard Money Loans

Owner-occupied Hard Money Loans in Colorado are fantastic for real estate investors who are just starting out but have dreams of making a big splash. Here’s how to leverage one to dip your toes into the real estate biz.

A lot of people love the idea of getting into real estate investment. After all, it’s a great, time-honored way to build wealth. Many back down, though, when they see how expensive it can be to get started. That’s where owner-occupied loans come in. They offer dreamers with a bit of entrepreneurial spirit the opportunity to build, even when they don’t have a lot of scratch to bring to the table. Before we look at how to use one, let’s look at how they differ from a typical loan.

As the name implies, owner-occupied means you intend to live in the property you are buying. HUD homes and foreclosures often require you to do this for at least a year before converting it into a rental property, and many HOAs also have a similar requirement (though these can be much longer).

Non-owner occupied means the purchaser won’t be living at the residence. These are important distinctions when it comes to the mortgage industry. An owner-occupied loan will generally receive better terms because the lender sees it as a smaller risk.

A Great Bet for People Just Starting Out

When you’re first starting out on your journey to real estate domination, you usually don’t have the fat wallet and a great credit history that banks drool over. Owner-occupied Hard Money Loans in Colorado are secured with collateral and they use funds from private investors, so lenders are more concerned with your tenacity than your bank account and past transgressions. Even better, they come through in a matter of days, meaning you can jump on that dream property faster than with a bank loan. And, here’s the beautiful thing that happens when you end up living on the property: you fall in love. You learn all the nuances of the home; you put your blood, sweat, and tears into it to make it the best it can be. The love and attention you give it will pay dividends a few years down the road when you’re ready to sell or convert it into a rental property.
