4 Things You Must Know Before Finding a Arizona Hard Money Lender

Whether you’re doing a buy and hold or a fix and flip, if you’re going to use a Arizona Hard Money Lenders to get funding, there are a few things you’ll want to know that will make the process quicker and smoother. Let’s dive in!

Since the Dodd-Frank Act tightened regulations on the banks and big financial institutions in the country, real estate investors have turned more and more to Arizona Hard Money Loans for funding. This is a good thing — just like competition in business is good the consumer, the real estate market can only benefit from having multiple funding options for potential investors.

That said, hard money is still foreign to some, either because they’ve bought into the stigma of it or they’ve just always gone through the bank for one reason or another. Don’t worry if you fall into this category. Hard money isn’t anything scary or even complicated; it’s simply private lenders (outside the system) lending money to people buying or rehabbing real estate. In fact, if you’re used to the banks, with their extensive credit checks and mountains of paperwork, you might be surprised at how simple things are with Arizona Hard Money Lenders.

What You Should Know Before Going In

There are four things you should absolutely know before applying for a Arizona Hard Money Loan:

  1. How much you need. You’ll need to crunch some numbers for the property you’re hoping to buy and figure out how much you need. Include all the little things, too, like closing costs, insurance and title fees.
  2. How much your collateral is worth. Because you’ll secure your loan with collateral — this can be the property you’re buying or another property you already own — you’ll need as accurate a number as possible when it comes to value.
  3. The after-repair value. If you’re planning a fix and flip, you’ll want to do your best to come up with a realistic value for the property after you’ve done the rehab.
  4. Your exit strategy. Perhaps most importantly, the lender will want to know your exit strategy because that’s when they’ll see their money again. Before going in, have a budget and schedule for the purchase, the flip and the resale.
