2
Explain the timeline
Let Ed know when you need to close, how long you expect to hold the property, and what the exit strategy may look like.
3
Review financing options
Ed can help determine whether a hard money, bridge, investment property, or another financing path may be worth exploring.

Move forward
If there is a fit, the next step is gathering the required property and borrower information for the applicable lending process.

Common Questions
Hard money loan basics.
A hard money loan is generally a short-term, real-estate-secured financing option often used when a borrower needs more flexibility or speed than a traditional loan process may offer. Terms, underwriting, and availability vary by transaction.
A good starting point is the property address, property type, purchase price or estimated value, requested loan amount, intended use of funds, timeline, and your expected exit strategy.
It can be a common financing option for certain investment renovation projects. The best structure depends on the property, project scope, borrower, leverage, timeline, and lending program.
No. The site begins with hard money because it is a primary focus, but Ed can also discuss bridge, investment property, and other real-estate financing scenarios where appropriate.
