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

A hard money lender is a private investor or company that offers loans based on the value of a property rather than the borrower\u2019s creditworthiness. These lenders typically work with house flippers<\/a>, real estate investors, and individuals who need quick financing. The loan amount is determined by the after-repair value (ARV)<\/a> of the property, which is an estimate of the property\u2019s value after renovations.<\/p>\n

Hard money loans have higher interest rates and fees than traditional loans. Borrowers can expect rates to range from 8% to 15%, with additional origination fees and closing costs. If a borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender can seize the property, making it a high-risk option that requires careful consideration.
