What Do I Need To Qualify For a Hard Money Loan?
The first thing you’d need to get approved for a Hard Money loan is to have at least 25% to 40% down payment in the case of a purchase, or substantial equity in the property if you’re looking for a cash-out refinance.
The higher the down payment or property equity you have, the more likely you will be approved. We will also look at your credit score and cash reserves. We look at this to assess if you can make payments on time and pay for other costs like taxes, insurance, etc. Last but not least, we will look at the borrower’s experience in real estate.
If this is the first time that the borrower is going to finance investment real estate, he or she might face more scrutiny than a borrower with years of experience in these types of deals.
Working with Fix and Flip lenders like GoKapital is a straightforward process tailored for investors.
Just contact us with the answers to these questions and we will give you a quick estimate:

Property type?

How Does A Hard Money Loan Work?
A hard money loan works as an asset-based loan, meaning that while hard money lenders take into consideration the investor’s credit score, this is not a crucial factor in determining his or her eligibility. Instead, lenders require that you use real estate property as collateral.
They use the price of the property to calculate the risk of the loan and the Loan To Value (LTV). On the other hand, real estate developers, investors, and flippers use hard money to get the required funds to close time-sensitive deals where they can get a property at a low price, flip (fix) it, raise the value of the property and then sell or rent at a profit.
The main reason real estate investors choose to apply for a hard money loan is that private lenders can fund the deal within a week–or less if the borrower meets all the qualifications.
HML’s work great on short-term flips and rehabs, or for first-time purchases, yet on longer-term investments, HML’s are not the best idea.
Hard money loans also work similarly to bridge loans. They both have similar criteria for lending. Bridge loans are solely for buying real estate properties or investment properties that don’t qualify for traditional lending programs. A bridge loan can also be used as a down payment for a new home when the buyer hasn’t sold their current house yet.
Bridge loans can be issued by traditional and private lenders, and HMLs are only issued by private lenders, like GoKapital.

A borrower seeking a hard money loan must meet the following generally stated requirements. Specific minimum requirements are set following our receipt of a loan application.
Borrowing entitles are ideally LLCs or Corporations
Reasonable existing income reflected in bank statements
Reasonable cash reserves reflected in bank statements
A credit score of 550 or better (exceptions apply)
A hard money loan (HML) is a short-term financing solution, issued by private lenders, that allows real estate investors to obtain capital fast to develop, flip, or own properties directly.
A hard money loan is secured by the value of the subject real estate property, not by the borrower’s credit score. That’s how hard money lenders protect themselves against default by the borrower. Therefore these short-term or bridge loans can be obtained rather quickly. “Hard money” is a term used mostly in the U.S. and Canada where this kind of loan is common. Fix and flip or rehab loans are just like hard money lending.
Unlike a traditional mortgage, hard money loans are not issued by traditional banks. This type of loan is only issued by private investors.
