Why Hard Money Loans?
Using hard money loans allows real estate investors to maximize leverage when purchasing a property and close within just a few days, all while freeing up their own cash for other uses. Hard money lenders, unlike traditional lenders, provide fast and flexible financing options to make real estate investments more accessible.
Understanding Hard Money Loans
What it really means
The term “hard money loan” refers to a type of loan that is backed by a “hard” asset, such as real estate. If you’re a real estate investor and you need financing for a deal, a hard money loan might be the best option for you to maximize your leverage on the property. Traditional lenders don’t offer hard money loans, so this lending option is only available through private lenders or individual investors, like OLLender.

- Hard Money loans are backed by assets and often require lower down payments.
- Leveraging private funding allows you to free up your own capital for other uses.
