What is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan (also known as a residential transition loan “RTL”) from Crebrid is an asset-backed alternative to traditional financing. Rather than relying on income verification, we use the value of the property as collateral. This is ideal for investors who have valuable properties but may not meet the criteria of conventional lenders. Crebrid's hard money loans come with competitive rates and flexible repayment terms, giving you the ability to fund your next fix-and-flip or rental property investment quickly and efficiently.
