What are Commercial Hard Money Loans?
Commercial hard money loans are a capital source offered by private lenders to investors who need financing fast. The criteria to qualify are more flexible compared to traditional financing with a higher carrying cost (interest rate) in return. The major advantages of commercial hard money loans are speed and flexibility. If you are looking to purchase your next investment property and need financing that focuses on the asset – private lending might be for you.

Common questions about commercial hard money loans
Here are the most frequent questions we get when it comes to hard money loans for commercial real estate:
Q: What can I do to increase my chances to qualify?
A: Make sure you have all of your paperwork ready – any underwriter will probably ask you questions about the property and about your experience as an investor. This is the part that usually takes the most time, so be prepared ahead of time.
Q: Are the rates going to be really high?
A: Hard money rates are higher than traditional bank loans. Since they are riskier, done faster, and require less underwriting, the rate is higher. Typically hard money loans will be 4-5% higher than standard interest rates.
Q: Why should investors take a high-interest loans if banks give lower interest rates?
A: Banks take a long time to approve loans, and they often apply very rigid funding criteria to deals. So if you have a special situation or circumstances, you may be out of luck. Hard money loans are also perfect for buyers who want to close a deal quick, and can’t wait 45 days for a bank approval. Hard money is not for everyone, but there are investors that are able to buy property not possible otherwise, thanks to hard money loans.

Q: Can I qualify if I have bad credit?
A: Yes. Hard money loans for commercial real estate is focused on asset-based underwriting. This means that your credit score is less important than the strength of the property you are buying. Your experience is still important, and a good credit score helps a lot – but burrowers with bad credit qualify for hard money loans all the time.
How can I qualify for a commercial hard money loan?
The process is simple and straight forward to get a commercial hard money loan:
- Find a lender that will take a look at your deal
- Pre-qualify over the phone and provide basic deal details via an application
- Provide paperwork to verify value and income of the commercial property
- Finalize terms of the commercial loan and pay 3rd party costs.
What are the terms of a typical private commercial loan?
Commercial hard money loans vary from property to property and different burrowers. Every property is examined on a case by case basis by our experienced underwriters and real estate professionals. Loan terms that fit a single tenant restaurant off a busy freeway are going to be different than financing for an office building in the middle of downtown New York City. Generally speaking, a typical lender can expect the following terms:
- Interest rate - starting at 8%
- Term - Starting from 3 months (shorter bridge loan are available)
- Origination and fees - 2 points and up - fees vary by property and loan parameters
- Interest only
- LTV - Loan to value - up to 80%
- Funding as fast as 7 days
Can I get a hard money loan with bad credit?
Yes. Individuals with bad credit can qualify for commercial hard money loans because we use asset-based underwriting to qualify our clients. Unlike traditional loans from banks – private lending focus on the property, not the burrower. Applicants with bad credit, rejected by traditional lenders, can use hard money loans to purchase commercial property if the deal is solid.
Private lenders charge higher fees and rates to compensate for the higher risk associated with lower credit score. They provide a second chance to investors who fallen on hard times in the past and want to continue to invest without paying thousands of dollars to special agencies to repair their credit scores. We accept applications with bad credit as well as:
- Bankruptcy
- Tax Liens
- Child Support Liens
- Divorces
- Prior Evictions
- Foreclosures
What are the costs of getting a commercial hard money loan?
Just like regular loans – private loans have costs as well. Here is a list of some, but all fees you’ll be expecting:
- Points/Origination – calculated as a percentage of the total loan amount. For example – if you take out a loan for $100,000 on a shopping center from a private lender, 2 point fee will cost you $2,000.
- Appraisal/inspection – to confirm the value and condition of the property.
- Document fees – fees to prepare loan documents for you to sign. Could be waived in certain cases or e-signature.
