What is a hard money lender?<\/h2>\n

Hard money lenders, which can be private individuals or companies, provide short-term loans backed by real estate. Unlike traditional banks, which prioritize the borrower\u2019s credit score and income, hard money lenders in Oklahoma focus on the property\u2019s value as collateral. These loans are often used by real estate investors, including house flippers<\/a> and those purchasing rental properties<\/a>, due to their quick funding and flexible terms.<\/p>\n

Lenders use the after-repair value (ARV)<\/a>, which is the estimated value of a property after renovations, to determine loan amounts. They typically offer a percentage of the ARV to ensure the investment remains profitable. Hard money loans often come with higher interest rates, typically between 8% and 15%, and shorter repayment terms, usually from 6 to 24 months. Additional expenses may include origination fees, closing costs, and points. If the loan is not repaid, the lender has the right to repossess the property to recover their funds.<\/p>\n
