Common Hard Money Questions
A: Each month, the interest is added to your loan balance. You only repay the loan when you sell the house or when the loan becomes due (such as after you pass away).
A: Hard money is lending capital for alternative style mortgage loans. Catered to borrowers who don’t fit within the standard guidelines of conservative banks and credit unions. Also know as private money or asset-based lending, these programs are funded by individual or institutional private investor and are typically equity focused.
A: Yes, we do lend our own money on certain loans. If the loan does not fit within our acceptable parameters, we have relationships with vetted personal and institutional investors who we have been working with for many years that are eager to participate.
A: We can fund in as little as 7 days however this is dependent primarily on title conditions and how fast we can obtain the appraisal report. This can fluctuate however the current average time to fund a hard money loan is 15 business days.
A: Some of the benefits of hard money compared to bank or credit union mortgage loans are:
– Faster application process
– No personal financials required such as tax returns, W-2’s or paystubs
– Recent derogatory housing events such as recent bankruptcy, short sale, loan mod or foreclosure possibly allowed
– All credit scores allowed
– Stronger purchasing power
– Faster funding, recording and disbursements
The approval process is much easier with a hard money loan because it’s primarily dependent on the equity position and location of the subject property.

What Our Clients Have To Say
About Our Mortgage Lending and Service
We had the best lending experience with David Milo and Independent Lending! After reaching out from an online inquiry, David set our expectations for finding a suitable loan product, kept in contact and guided us through the entire loan process. He made himself available 24/7 and made sure we were comfortable with every aspect of getting our loan. From start to finish, we closed in less than 2 weeks! I would strongly recommend David Milo and his team for any type of real estate loan product.

David was able to find the right lending solution for us and really helped during this stressful time. He was honest about our mortgage options and patiently answered all of my questions. We have worked with multiple lenders over the years and the experience with David has been the best. I recommend him highly to anyone looking for a lender.

David Milo was a professional from start to finish, he delivered as expected and made the process incredibly easy. My husband and I worked with David on a recent equity loan for our home that is is under construction, the entire process was quick easy and David kept us informed the entire way. He answered any and all questions professionally and with great kindness. We will defiantly use David for any of our home loan needs in the future. Recommend him highly!

I am very thankful that I found David online. I was in a ugly situation with personal stuff, had very bad credit. I went to banks, mortgage lenders but know one wanted to help me. I was almost ready to give up till I went online and looked for some hope out there for me. Then I came across David’s page and gave him a call. The loan was fast. Thank you David!
