Direct answer

How this hard money option works

Hard money can finance an eligible distressed investment property when deferred maintenance, damage, code issues or incomplete systems make bank financing unavailable. The lender needs an executable repair plan, adequate equity, title clarity and enough capital and time to reach the exit.

Distress can be physical, legal, operational or timing-related; each changes the documents, reserves and lender appetite.

Open permits, unsafe structures, environmental concerns, liens, utility issues and insurance availability can delay or prevent closing.

Approved rehab funds may be held back and released through draws after documented work.
