Question 1

How fast can I close on a Fowler property with hard money?

Accepted Answer

Most deals close in 7-14 days once we have title work and property appraisal. Speed depends on how fast you provide deal documents and contractor bids.

Question 2

Can I use hard money for a primary residence in Fowler?

Accepted Answer

Hard money lenders focus on investment properties and flips. If you're buying a primary home, conventional or FHA loans cost far less and offer better terms.

Question 3

What happens if my Fowler flip takes longer than expected?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders offer 6-month extensions for a fee, typically 1-2 points. Plan your exit before the original term ends to avoid expensive refinancing under pressure.

Question 4

Do I need real estate investment experience for approval?

Accepted Answer

First-time flippers can get approved, but lenders charge higher rates or require lower LTV. Strong contractor relationships and detailed budgets help offset inexperience.

Question 5

Can hard money fund both purchase and rehab costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most lenders structure loans to cover acquisition plus construction. Rehab funds release in draws tied to work completion milestones verified by inspectors.
