"Real professional outfit throughout the entire process from my loan application to getting funded. All my questions were answered. I'm now in the middle of a multifamily rehab which we are looking to sell within 6 months. And we already have a new deal we need more hard money for."
Timothy R. - Multifamily Deal Sponsor |
"My husband and I were rejected by our local bank for financing for a fix and flip project on our street. A friend suggested Tampa Hard Money Lenders. They explained everything really clearly. I have no doubt that hard money was actually better for us because of how fast we wanted to sell.
Samantha K. - First Time Flipper |
"Opted for a residential bridge loan and was impressed with the whole process. I was facing a quick turnaround and the team made it possible. Thank you for allowing me to purchase my dream home."

WHAT IS A HARD MONEY LOAN AND SHOULD I GET A HARD MONEY LOAN FOR MY PROJECT? |
What is a hard money loan? |
A hard money loan is a loan backed by a "physical" asset that produces revenue to pay back the loan in a short period of time or more commonly, is sold in order to repay the loan.
|
HARD MONEY.
Loan terms are usually between 6 months to 3 years. In most cases, loan terms last no longer than 12 months. |
TRADITIONAL MORTGAGE.
Loan terms are usually between 15 to 30 years. Secured by the value of a home, apartment block, etc. and is backed by the borrower's ability to pay back the loan in monthly installations. |
But why would anyone need to use a hard money lender?Hard Money tends to appeal to Tampa real estate investors and business owners for four distinct reasons.

Terms of hard money loans are flexible and negotiable, and can often be worked out between the loan provider and the borrower. The absence of strict loan conditions is a key differentiator to traditional bank financing. The main reason for this is because hard money loans use the property as collateral, more specifically the "ARV" (after repair value).
For those who are not able to secure traditional bank financing either because of bad credit or maybe because of the condition of the property, are able to qualify for hard money loans since the "ARV" of the property the loan is being taken out against is a critical factor in deciding to make a hard money loan. In other words if you are able to present a good investment opportunity, chances are you will get the money you need to close on your deal. There is more versatility for the borrower versus traditional bank financing. This can allow the borrower to work out favorable repayment terms that can accommodate their personal financial situation and the specifics of their deal. |
Is there more than one type of hard money Loan?A hard money loan is a hard money loan despite the type of property the cash is secured against.
Whether the loan is for a flip project or an apartment building the essential characteristics are present, i.e. the cash does not come from a bank, the decision to provide money is not based on credit history or credit rating alone and typically the lending decision is based on the After Repair Value of the property. Within the industry it is not unusual to categorize different types of hard money loans based on the type of property the money is loaned against. |
Commericial Bridge loansWhen someone acquires a commercial property, it frequently takes time to make necessary enhancements and upgrades required to lease to appropriate tenants.
A bridge loan is a method of securing the short-term financing required to bridge this time period. Because we are a commercial hard money lender we also offer bridge loans to small business operators who require capital for commercial properties they already own free and clear, or in which they have significant capital. |
residential bridge loans |
Residential bridge loans are the type of loans that a homeowner gets when they need money from the sale of their existing home to put towards a new home, but they need the money to close on the new home before they have sold their existing home.
So the bridge loan allows a person to buy a new home before they have the cash, but they will repay back the bridge loan when they sell their existing home. |
Fix n' Flip hard money loans |
House flippers and buyers of properties that require purchases to be made completely in cash or hard money. Hard money loans can offer approximately 75%-85% of the purchase cost and cost of rehab. These loans sometimes have no prepayment, which means that borrowers can put the money to work, faster. For Fix and Flip loans (Florida), call the local hard money lenders with access to a nationwide lending pool.
|
residential rehab Hard money loansA residential rehab loan is used by people who have found a house whose value can be significantly increased after rehab work, and are looking to enjoy the passive income earned as a result of getting tenants and leasing the property at a higher rent thanks to the rehab.
Because of the speed at which funds will be in your bank account, a resi rehab loan will enable you to purchase properties when markets are hot and there is inevitably a lot of competition. |
buy & hold hard money loans |
Investors who wish to reap the benefits of passive income as a result of rental income can certainly benefit from our buy and hold hard money loans. In a hot market or when you see a deal you really like, acting quickly thanks to having liquid cash is vital to close on those deals.
Our process to apply and get approved can be all done in just a couple of days. This speed of financing puts you in a strong position to negotiate with sellers, especially when you're competing against people relying on slower, traditional bank financing. If you need long term loans, with full or partial amortization over a period of up to 20 years we have loan products for that too. |
cash-out refinance loansTraditional bank financing has restrictions which prevent many people from being able to refinance their existing mortgage for a higher dollar amount.
This stops homeowners from being able to leverage the additional equity in their homes to put to purpose elsewhere. On the other hand, hard money cash-out refinance loans are available to anyone who can secure the loan with their residential home or commercial property. |
Airbnb & VRBo real estate Hard Money Loans |
Airbnb and VRBO rental residential or commercial properties offer a really attractive means of earning passive rental income - in many cases delivering returns much higher than what’s typically from single-family and multifamily properties. This is due to the premium short term renters are willing to pay.
However, in spite of their enormous earning potential, traditional bank lenders typically refuse to make loans on short-term rentals. We know the value of these financial investments and can supply you with the hard money needed to acquire and rehab residential or commercial properties that have excellent potential for the short-term rental market. Many of our team members have their own short term rental properties and have enjoy great returns for years. They are happy to talk to you about their properties and how they have made the most of them. |
LOANS for distressed properties needing significant rehabDistressed residential or commercial properties provide fantastic financial opportunities for both buyers and investors.
Banks and home owners want to sell these residential or commercial properties fast, and thus will only deal with buyers who have money available. We can provide you with same-day pre-qualification for a hard money loan. Because we are asset based hard money lenders, you can be sure we can loan on your type of rehab project. |
