Hard Money vs. Traditional Loans

For real estate investors, success or failure is commonly determined by their ability to acquire reliable capital quickly. 

With all of that in mind, what financing options are available? Some real estate investors may look for financing with a bank or traditional lender, but the process is often too slow, with mountains of paperwork and strict underwriting guidelines. 

That's why hard money loans are so popular among real estate investors. They allow you to break through the red tape by offering an easier and faster alternative to traditional loans.

This infographic provides a quick reference that explains what a hard money loan is and how it compares to traditional financing.
