Phoenix Private Hard Money Loan in Arizona, What is it?

What is Private Hard Money Loan?

Hello, Dennis here, have you ever wondered what is a private Hard Money Loan? Well let me explain.  A Arizona Hard Money Loan is a secured loan from a Lender to a Borrower and is backed by a Hard Asset. This is not like a traditional loan. With a traditional loan, a lender makes a loan to the borrower and in return, the lender receives a promise to pay from the borrower that states the borrower promises to pay back the loan based on pre-arranged terms. Some lenders don’t like promises. Some lenders want more because unfortunately not all borrowers keep their promises. In those cases, what the lender wants is additional security from the borrower just in case they don’t make the payments; something put up as collateral that the lender gets to keep if the borrower is not able to keep their promise. That something is called a hard asset. A hard asset is something that you can touch and see. And if the borrower does not make the payments, the lender takes it from the borrower and keeps it and the borrower loses the asset. In real estate, a hard asset is secured using a legal document called a Deed of Trust and is usually a home or some other type of real estate, but can also be anything of value such as gold, diamonds, motor home or anything lender will take as security of the loan. That is why it is called a secured loan and if the borrower fails to make the payments the lender keeps the asset.
