I am new. Where do you find hard money for short term investing and how long does it take?
First, hard money is usually easy, it’s just that the rates are high.
You can check your local paper for lenders. They usually advertise in the real estate wanted sections or real estate services.
Call 4 or 5 and find out what they offer. You want to find out what they charge up front, what the monthly interest rate is, if they do 100% of the financing, length of the loan, etc.
