Beretta Only: 5 REASONS TO USE A TEXAS HARD MONEY LENDER?

Texas Hard Money Lenders can be a real estate investors best friend. They offer speed and flexibility on top of a plethora of other benefits.

1. You Don’t Have To Have Perfect Credit— If you fall into the majority of borrowers you have a ding or two (or several) on your FICO score. When it comes to traditional loans, the most important factor a bank looks at is that three digit score. If your score falls below their required number—no loan for you! Not only your credit score, but your monthly income is of just as much importance to them. If you fall outside of their criteria, you will not be approved. Texas Hard Money Lenders focus primarily on the value of the property that serves as the collateral on the loan. As long as the lender is comfortable with the loan-to-value ratio they are not overly concerned with a borrower’s credit score and income.

2. Quick Loan Approval and Funding— If you have ever applied for any type of loan at a bank you are familiar with the painfully slow process. There are countless documents that must be filled out and even once that is done the underwriting process is almost sloth like. It can be a month before a borrower is even approved and even longer to receive the funds. By this time, it is highly likely the borrower has lost the property to another real estate investor. The application process for a hard money loan is simple. Typically, a borrower only needs to fill out a standard loan application—and can be approved in minutes. Usually, the borrower can receive funds in 10 days or less.

3. Getting Financing For Additional Loans— Most banks cap the amount of loans a borrower can take out at four. It usually doesn’t matter how great their credit is or how much money they generate. Because Texas Hard Money Lenders are private investors they make their own rules. They do not have the same limitations on loans as do banks. Their main concern is the borrower’s equity in a property. Texas Hard Money Lenders enjoy working with investors that have multiple properties because the borrower can cross-collateralize their properties.

4. Making The Investor’s Offer Strong— Seasoned real estate investors are very familiar with banks pulling the financing during escrow—it is not uncommon. This can easily destroy the deal and the investor will lose the potential property. When an offer comes in from an investor using hard money sellers see this as a benefit. Texas Hard Money Lenders are not known to pull out of deals at the last minute. What that means is that an investor that is working with a Dallas Texas hard money lender in a competitive market is seen as preferential to the seller when there are multiple offers on the property.

5. Quick Close— Sellers want to close quickly—this is why cash buyers are a sellers dream buyer. Good news! Investors using hard money are viewed in the same light as cash buyers. Real estate investors can often negotiate a lower purchase prices because they can give a shorter escrow period and all that equals a quicker close.

There are numerous reasons for a real estate investor to work with a Dallas Texas hard money lender.
