Commercial Hard Money - The Pigs Are Fed

By Mary Wise


Commercial hard money banks, appear to be content with their outstanding loan portfolios as many are slow to respond to new loan requests and are, as expected cherry picking the very best of hard money requests. Of the credible lenders we work with, many have confirmed this and appear to be focused on their existing portfolio and are trying to avoid foreclosures/losses.

Borrowers should be warned as this slice of the industry is crammed with fraudster, as many banks just take the good faith deposits from borrowers and then pretend to go through an underwriting process. It's just a swindle.

Commercial Hard Cash

In addition, many brokers portray themselves as lenders, when in truth they're just brokers. They "tie up" their borrowers with dear good faith deposits, which are never repaid when they don't perform and do not get the loan closed. Borrowers than have to consider going after them with whatever bits of cash they have left.

Borrowers should do an extensive quantity of research on the lender before anything is signed or cash is wired. Check their BBB ratings, go to their states licensing division (you can do this on line) and see whether they are registered as a lender. You'll doubtless find other names that they do business under while you do this research. Also , how long have they been in business? Many of those banks change names like the remainder of us get our suits dry cleaned. Keep in mind though, that some of the shadiest lenders have been about for years, so just because they've been about for a bit doesn't suggest that they're legit. There are also web sites where borrowers or other brokers report their experience with lenders. By typing in their name in Google can offer some telling info also.

Above all , license moneylender should be steered clear of if feasible. This is an obvious statement, but borrowers should do everything they can to find other solutions, or be extensive with their research in finding a hard bank that is in the business of funding loans.
