Hard money loans are well-suited for investors seeking quick, flexible financing solutions. Unlike traditional bank loans, hard money loans are asset-based and provided by private lenders. They focus primarily on the property’s value rather than the borrower’s creditworthiness. Here’s how to apply for a hard money loan with Malve Capital, the lender of choice for real estate investors nationwide. 

What Is a Hard Money Loan?

Before applying, it’s crucial to comprehend what hard money loans entail. These are short-term loans, typically 6 months to 3 years, secured by real estate assets. They are commonly used for fix-and-flip projects, land development, or other real estate ventures requiring swift funding. The primary focus for lenders is the property’s value and potential, making it more accessible to investors who may not meet traditional lending criteria.

How To Apply

Prepare Your Investment Plan

Draw up a comprehensive investment plan detailing the property’s specifics, your strategy for profitability, and investor experience. This plan should include the property’s location, purchase price, estimated renovation costs, projected after-repair value (ARV), and the anticipated timeline for the project. A well-prepared plan demonstrates your commitment and understanding of the investment, increasing your credibility with potential lenders.

Gather Necessary Documentation

While hard money lenders place less emphasis on personal financial history, certain documents are still necessary:

  • Property information–Detailed descriptions, photographs, and any existing appraisals.
  • Purchase agreement–If available, the contract outlining the terms of the property purchase.
  • Renovation plans–Itemized lists of intended improvements and associated costs.
  • Exit strategy–A clear plan for repaying the loan, such as selling the property or refinancing through a traditional mortgage.

Having these documents organized facilitates a smoother application process.

Submit the Loan Application

Initiate the process by submitting a loan application to your chosen hard money lender to initiate the process. The application will require details about the property, your investment plan, and personal information. At Malve Capital, we streamline this step to ensure efficiency and clarity, allowing you to focus on your investment.

Property Appraisal and Evaluation

Upon receiving your application, the lender will arrange for a property appraisal to determine its current value and potential after renovations. This assessment helps the lender decide the loan amount and terms. At Malve Capital, we coordinate this appraisal promptly to expedite the funding process.

Loan Approval and Terms Agreement

If the property is deemed a viable investment, the lender will approve the loan, often within a few days. You’ll receive a loan agreement outlining the terms, including interest rates, repayment schedule, and any associated fees. Review this document carefully to ensure it aligns with your investment strategy. Malve Capital offers flexible terms tailored to your project’s unique needs.

Funding and Project Commencement

Once you agree to the loan terms, the lender will disburse the funds, allowing you to proceed with your investment project. Hard money loans are known for their rapid funding, enabling investors to act quickly on lucrative opportunities. With Malve Capital, you can expect a seamless transition from approval to funding, ensuring your project stays on track.
