Maryland Hard Money Lenders. Private Loans in Maryland, Virginia & Washington, DC
Maybe you shared a seat on the school bus or a room in your college dorm. Maybe you’ve been friends forever or just met last month in the Greater Washington, DC area. Whatever brought you together, you formed a bond with this individual and the company they work for, too. You make a good team, and you’re ready to take a team approach to real estate investing. Together, you are ready to share the risk and reward of a joint venture (JV).
Finishing a basement presents a unique opportunity to increase the after-repair value of your rehab. On the other hand, it might plague you with problems and be a bottomless drain of time and resources. If you are a real estate investor looking for the most efficient ways to improve the ROI of your rehab, decisions about the basement should be on top of your mind. Let’s dig deeper (no pun intended) to explore how to handle basement renovation decisions to make your money and minimize your risk.
One of the consistently trending online searches is how to get into real estate investing with no money and poor credit. A great number of sites and videos are dedicated to this topic. What they peddle most is an encouragement and “can-do attitude” that has little to do with reality. It makes me wonder if those so-called experts have even a slight understanding of how the real estate investing or lending industries work. So if you want to be told that having poor credit and no dime to your name makes you a great candidate for real estate investing, stop reading right now. Find an alternative source of information that would cuddle you into wasting your time and energy with false promises. My goal is different and this article is for those who both can handle the truth and are prepared to work on the long-term plan.
For those new to hard money lending, using private funds for the first time might be intimidating. Direct hard money lenders work differently from traditional banks. However, few new borrowers understand these differences. Like everything else in life, hard money lending has its pros and cons. Hard money loans are not for everyone and not everyone would qualify for them. However, working with a direct hard money lender vs. a traditional bank could offer flexibility and leverage not available anywhere else. Think about hard money lenders as a narrow subset of mortgage companies that provide a unique type of financing to borrowers in very specific circumstances.
For private money lenders like us, January is the busiest month of the year. Not in terms of closings but certainly in terms of inquiries about our financing. I swear, making money in real estate must be on many folks’ new year resolution lists. As with many other new year resolutions, they tend to pitter out as time goes on. Only the most determined remain in the game and ultimately make money in real estate. So how do you make sure you are not one of those folks who are full of grandiose plans in January only to be full of excuses by Fall? Human psychology suggests that we are creatures of habit and struggle with maintaining dramatic changes to our behavior. This is exactly why so many diets fail. They call for a complete overhaul of our behavior without addressing our natural propensity to maintain the status quo.
As I write this blog, a new year is dawning. Maryland has just vaccinated 1% of its citizens. I am not sure whether to be excited by this number or to be concerned with the Herculean task ahead. It’s truly like glimpsing a tiny flicker of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
So what should we expect from 2021? It’s certain that it will bring new challenges. And with challenges usually come opportunities. A Yiddish proverb says, “We plan. God Laughs.” Last year, we’ve made predictions about 2020 but, surprisingly, not all of them turned out to be wrong (see how accurate we were here). So let’s indulge ourselves. I bet that with some reliance on the past performance, the recent and historical data, and our collective local real estate market expertise we can make predictions that will withstand the test of time (save for an alien invasion, of course).
