Question 1

How fast can a hard money loan close in RSM?

Most hard money loans close in 5-14 days. Speed depends on how quickly the lender can complete an appraisal or BPO.

Question 2

Do I need good credit for a hard money loan?

Credit is reviewed but rarely the deciding factor. The property's value and your equity position matter most.

Most terms run 6-24 months. These are short-term loans — you need a clear exit strategy before you close.
