In today’s market, the competition is so stiff that the deals often go to those who are able to secure the best real estate investment loans fast. These loans allow investors, for instance, to buy an investment property before a competitor snatches it from him. For those who want speed in financing, they go to hard money, which is considered of the best loans for real estate deals today. Here are some of the reasons why.

Hard money is fast. Unlike traditional loans, this kind of financing is processed is a few days. That means you will be able to know the result of your application after only a few days. For applications from new borrowers, these non-traditional lenders often take between one week and two weeks to take a look at their application. For trusted customers, however, their loan may be released in as little as two days. Imagine how powerful that is. You can be a “cash buyer” in just a couple of days. Your competition in the real estate business – wholesaling, rehabbing, short sales, or whatever form – will surely find it hard to cope with you having that power.

This financing is asset-based. For real estate investors, the asset or collateral that will be checked by the lenders is the actual investment property. For instance, if you are into rehabbing, the house will serve as collateral. Because it is not borrower-based, you can apply for one of the best real estate investment loans around even if you do not have a job. That is not possible with banks, which process loans based on the creditworthiness of the borrower. You can also consider your application rejected if you went through foreclosure or bankruptcy if you applied for a loan from banks. Traditional lenders put heavy value on the credit report of the borrower.

And because it is asset based, the value of the collateral – which is the property – will also determine the amount of the loan. To make thing better, they use the value of the property in good condition and not its value in a dilapidated state. This is good news for investors like rehabbers who buy distressed and dilapidated properties. This system enables them to borrow more money than how much they will need to buy a property. They can then use the excess amount to repair the property, which they will later sell for a profit. That’s why rehabbers consider it among the best real estate investment loans around.
