Can you Make Money with Fix and Flip Loans?

Image
If you’ve been a part of the major viewing base of popular HGTV series like Property Brothers, Fixer Upper, and Flip or Flop, you may be interested in the potential profit that comes from home renovating and fixer uppers. But where do you get the best fix and flip loan ? Borrowers can turn to public money lenders or Private Money lenders for any of their loan needs. Public money lenders consist of banks and credit unions, while Private Money lenders are private companies and investors.

Hard money is an alternative to traditional loans that have flexible requirements compared to the loans offered by traditional lenders. Even though hard money is a great primary option for borrowers struggling to meet major loan requirements, it is a great loan for those renovating homes. Interest rates and fees can be higher than other loans on the market, however, with the right plan, you can X. Benefits...

The Pros and Cons of Using a Commercial Hard Money Lender

Image
If you've never used a commercial hard money lender before, it's good to know some of the pros and cons involved. Here's why it might be a great option for some investors and not the best option for others. Hard money loans are loans that are secured with collateral, not with the borrower's credit score or financial history, as is the case with banks. These lenders operate outside the typical regulations to which big financial institutions must adhere. This offers them several advantages over a traditional commercial bank loan: ● The Approval Process is Much Quicker. While bank loans can take 30 days to several months to come through, a commercial hard money loan can be approved and funded in days or weeks. Private investors can look over the project and make a decision; no need for complicated income verification or lengthy background checks. ● You Don't Need Great Credit. Since the property is put up as collateral, your financial history, credit score and income ...

Image
It might sound crazy but getting a fix and flip loan in December or January is a perfect time. Read on to find out why. Most people think about taking on a flip in the so-called "hot" months of the spring and summer. While any time of year can be a good time to do a fix and flip , there are many good reasons why December is the best month to find a project, get your funding secured, and start working. Here are just a few of them. 1. Prices Are Low. Real estate is traditionally a bit cold in the winter months. People don't relocate as much during the winter and this is especially true during the holiday season (November and December). The people who are selling are often desperate — maybe they have to move because of a job or a reassignment, or they're underwater on their loan and have to get out. Whatever the reason, homes that do hit the market during this time period tend to be cheaper. 2. The Timing is Perfect. It's the oldest adage in the book: buy low and s...
