Hard Money Loans FAQ
What Is Hard Money?
What Is a Hard Money Loan?
A hard money loan, also known as a bridge loan, private money loan or gap loan, is a loan secured by a "hard asset" like commercial, industrial or residential real estate.
It is generally a short term loan (6 to 60 months) issued by private or commercial investors.
Why Use a Hard Money Loan?
A hard money loan has advantages over a traditional bank loan:
- the approval process is much faster (5 to 7 days vs 30 days)
- fewer requirements
- easier to qualify
- flexible repayment schedules
- better option for those with low credit scores, the self employed, or with a difficult financial history, such as a foreclosure or bankruptcy
What Determines the Cost of a Hard Money Loan?
- experience in the fix and flip industry
- additional sources of income

- and most importantly, the underlying value of the hard asset
