## Direct definition
A hard money loan is short-term, business-purpose financing secured primarily by eligible real estate. Collateral is central, but participating lenders also review borrower equity, credit, liquidity, experience, property condition, budget and a documented sale or refinance exit.

## Hard money and private money
The terms overlap in common usage. Private money may also describe an individual or private fund. Borrowers should compare the actual lender, documents, interest, points, fees, draws, default provisions and exit—not rely on a label.

## Core formulas
- As-is LTV = requested loan / current as-is value.
- Loan-to-cost = requested loan / (purchase price or payoff + renovation budget).
- Loan-to-ARV = requested loan / estimated after-repair value.
- Illustrative interest-only payment = loan × annual rate / 12.
- Net cash-out = approved proceeds minus payoff, liens, closing costs, escrows and reserves.
- These calculations are educational, not a quote, appraisal, approval or profit forecast.

## Illustrative program examples
- Rates as low as 9.99%, $100K to $15MM, up to 75% of purchase price, up to 90% LTC, 6–24 month terms and up to 100% of eligible rehab cost may be available for qualifying transactions.
- These figures are not guaranteed, may not be available together and are subject to property and borrower requirements, lender underwriting and change without notice.

## Transparent worked example
- Assumptions: $450,000 purchase, $500,000 as-is value, $100,000 rehab, $400,000 requested loan, $750,000 estimated ARV and 11.5% illustrative rate.
- As-is LTV: 80.0%. Loan-to-cost: approximately 72.7%. Loan-to-ARV: approximately 53.3%. Monthly interest on the full balance: approximately $3,833.
- This is mathematics only—not a lender program or accepted valuation.

## Current market context
- ATTOM reported 297,045 U.S. home flips in 2025, 7.4% of sales, a $65,981 median gross profit and 25.5% gross ROI before rehab, holding and transaction costs. Financing was used in 37.7% of flip acquisitions; Q4 projects averaged 160 days from purchase to resale.
- FHFA/FRED reported the Miami-area all-transactions house price index at 670.80 in Q1 2026 (1995 Q1 = 100). It is a broad price index, not a property value.

## Useful initial file
- Address, parcel, legal use, purchase or payoff and requested loan.
- Current condition photos, itemized scope, bids, permits, timeline and draw assumptions.
- Borrower entity, experience, credit, equity, liquidity and reserves.
- As-is value, ARV or stabilized value supported by current comparable evidence.
- Sale or refinance exit with time and cost contingency.

- [Hard Money Purchase Loans in Miami, Florida](https://www.capwellhardmoneyloansmiami.com/services/hard-money-purchase-loans): A hard money purchase loan can finance an eligible business-purpose acquisition when the property, closing deadline or borrower scenario does not fit conventional bank underwriting.
