Hard Money Lending — Common Questions
Quick answers for investors evaluating private financing in Arizona and California.
What is a hard money loan?
A hard money loan is short-term real estate financing secured by real property. Credit, income, experience, and documentation requirements are determined after review of the specific transaction. Terms are provided in writing after review. Used for fix-and-flip, bridge financing, construction, and cash-out refinance.
How fast can I get a hard money loan in Arizona?
Grand Funding issues approval decisions within 24 hours and funds most Arizona purchase loans in 3–5 business days. Refinances and construction loans typically close in 7–12 days. Speed depends on clear title and a complete application.
How are credit and experience reviewed?
Credit, income, experience, and documentation requirements are determined after review of the specific transaction.
What is the difference between a hard money loan and a bridge loan?
Hard money is the broader category — short-term private real estate financing. A bridge loan is a specific type of hard money loan used to "bridge" a gap: buying a new property before selling an existing one, or financing a property until permanent financing is secured. Bridge financing describes a short-term need. Its structure and provider can vary; compare the actual terms.
