The goal is the same\u2014to close on real estate deals quickly without compromising the quality of service to the client. It is necessary for Realtors to know that a transaction can close if their client cannot qualify, or if a property does not fit within, a traditional loan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Entrepreneurial Spirit of a Hard Money Lender<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The primary focus of a traditional lender is the borrower. The borrower\u2019s qualifications are measured by credit score, employment, and tax returns. A hard money lender will qualify the property and the merits of the deal like an entrepreneur. Investors who are self-employed, or who have a bankruptcy in their past, could qualify for a hard money loan. The most important aspect in obtaining a hard money loan is the ratio of value, or the potential value-add, against the loan amount.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When a realtor considers a hard money lender as a lending source, the number of loan programs presented to the investor (client) increases. The client will recognize the value added to the Realtor\u2019s services, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calhardmoney.com\/\"><strong>hard money lender<\/strong><\/a> will have an expanded referral source.<\/p>\n<p>Both parties need protection. Thus, the realtor should know that the lender will protect their position in the deal and the lender needs should be aware that they will not be shopped by the realtor after a certain point in the qualifying process.<\/p>\n<p>No deals will close if the lender and the realtor do not have mutual respect or cohesion. The client will sense if these two factors are not present. The result will be the clients\u2019 distrust of both parties. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Building a Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Realtors are invited to contact PB Financial Group for an introduction to our loan programs and to establish a working relationship.
