Beretta Only: Study Up! Here are Hard Money Lending Terms to Know

If you’re new to hard money lending and investing through private money loans you’ll want to know some of the terminology so you can speak to lenders to determine project funding.

Veteran investors will tell anyone who’s new to the game that it’s incredibly important to know the lingo when you are going to interview your first Arizona private money lender . Your first investment experience can be intimidating, but if you study up on these terms you’ll feel confident in presenting your project and being able to respond to the questions that the Arizona private money lender will have for you.

· After Rehab Value (ARV) – What the house is expected to be worth after renovation

· Appraisal – A professional’s valuation of the property in its current condition, and its potential value after rehabilitation
