What is a hard money loan?▼
Hard money loans are short-term, asset-based loans from private lenders. They are secured by real estate and used primarily by flippers who need fast closings. Rates are higher (10-15%) with 2-4 points.
What are origination points?▼
Points are upfront fees charged as a percentage of the loan amount. 2 points means you pay 2% of the loan amount at closing. A $200,000 loan with 2 points costs $4,000 in points.
Are hard money loans interest-only?▼
Most hard money loans are interest-only during the term, with the full principal due at maturity (balloon payment). This keeps monthly payments lower during the renovation period.
