How Hard Money Lenders in Texas Are Helping When Banks Fail

Many people, including real estate investors, often think that a property can only be purchased with
money they have in the bank, or through a mortgage loan borrowed from a bank.
Realistically, there are many paths to home ownership, and the easiest is often
through hard money lenders in Texas.


Everybody needs a place to live, but the traditional system
makes it impossible to buy a home, or even rent one, when there’s a blip in your history. Unfortunately, this is the very real situation many Americans face. The economic recession hurt almost everyone’s credit, and has left so many families without housing options, even years after the crisis.

Despite the fact that the nation is still recovering, banks
look at all sorts of things, including your credit score, previous
bankruptcies, and employment history. If you don’t make the cut, or they think
you’re too much of a risk, they refuse to provide a mortgage. Banks will even
deny you if your credit is fine, but you happen to be applying at the same time
as others with higher scores.
The Urban Institute examines issues like this, and has a
specific focus on social and economic policies. The group has been actively
researching since the 1960s, and in 2013 they released a huge bombshell. Banks
have historically claimed that they only deny about 14% of applications, but
the Urban Institute leveled the playing field by eliminating those with perfect
or near-perfect credit from the calculations. In doing so, they discovered that
the rate of denials is triple the amount banks claim for those with less than perfect credit. Considering that only 0.5% of us may ever achieve a perfect rating, most of us fall into a bracket with a 43% denial rate, which is why hard money lenders in Texas are incredibly popular.

Hard Money Lenders in Texas Give that 43% a Successful Path to
Home Ownership

Banks have many rules and restrictions on who they’ll lend
to, but when you borrow from hard moneylenders in Texas, the money and the decision are handed down by one person,
or a small group of people. This method of lending isn’t restricted by the same
guidelines and policies, because the money that goes to fund the purchase of
the home comes from sources like personal funds and retirement accounts.
Instead of focusing on an individual’s history, the decision on the amount of
money needed and the value of the property or assets.

Depending on eligibility, 100% of the cost of your home can be funded through
hard money lenders in Texas.

Unlike conventional mortgages, which usually require a down
payment, hard money lenders in Texas
may be able to give you a loan for the full purchase price of the property you
want. This means that it’s much easier to buy a home, and it’s significantly
easier than trying to qualify with a bank. It’s worth noting that the people
who loan the funds are investors, and they want you to succeed, but they’re
also loaning out their personal funds, which means that it can cost a little
more. For this reason, many people utilize this option to purchase a home
initially, and then secure a traditional mortgage when they can qualify for one
at a later date. The additional step is generally of little concern to
home buyers, because it enables them to have the keys to their very own home
long before it could happen by other means.
