  1. What Is a Hard Money Loan? Introduction A hard money loan is a short-term, asset-based loan used primarily in real estate transactions. Unlike traditional bank loans, which rely heavily on a borrower’s creditworthiness, hard money loans are secured by the property itself. These loans are often used by real estate investors, house flippers, and individuals needing quick financing. How Do Hard Money Loans Work? Hard money loans are funded by private investors or lending companies rather than banks. The approval process is much faster than conventional loans, often closing in a matter of days. The loan amount is based on the value of the property being purchased rather than the borrower’s credit score or financial history.
