Unlike traditional conventional bank loans, a hard money loan is based on the value of the property being used as collateral, not just your financial position. While the rates are typically higher, hard money loans are attractive for real estate investors because they tend to close much faster, provide flexible terms and you can pay them off quickly to offset costs, allowing you to scale your business faster. Here are just a few additional benefits of hard money loans:
- Access to quick capital and fast turn times
- Flexible terms with various repayment schedules and loan durations
- Up to 90% money financed based on the property value and your renovation budget
- The more you work with the same lender, the more benefits you may receive such as reduced origination fee, rate, and more
Kiavi offers bridge and rental loans for purchases or refinances. A bridge loan is a short-term loan for real estate investors who prefer to finance the purchase and/or rehabilitation of their investment property rather than buying it fully in cash or taking a traditional bank loan. Real estate investors renovate these properties to either quickly sell back in the market or refinance into a rental loan.
A rental loan is for investment properties in which the real estate investor will buy and hold (and rent out to generate passive income), rather than fixing and flipping it quickly for a profit. These need to be turn-key, livable condition properties. Real estate investors use both bridge and rental loans for the BRRRR strategy to increase their portfolio and long-term cash flow.
