They primarily work with real estate investors like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/what-is-a-house-flipper\/\"> house flippers<\/a> and those seeking to invest in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-how-to-value-rental-property\/\"> rental properties<\/a>. Interest rates for hard money loans are typically higher than traditional loans, ranging from 8% to 15%.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of focusing on the borrower\u2019s credit score, these lenders base loan amounts on the property&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/rehabfinancial.com\/ask-the-expert\/what-is-arv-and-how-is-it-calculated\"> after-repair value (ARV)<\/a>. ARV is the estimated value of the property once renovations are complete.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, fees such as origination and closing costs can add to the total expense. If a borrower fails to repay a hard money loan, the lender can foreclose on the property, similar to traditional mortgage practices.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--2\" data-toc-header=\"How does a hard money loan work?\" data-toc-type=\"head\"><\/div>\n<h2>How does a hard money loan work?<\/h2>\n<p>Hard money loans offer real estate investors a unique funding solution compared to traditional financing.
