What is a Hard Money Loan?
A hard money loan (also known as a residential transition loan “RTL”) is a short-term loan secured by real estate, rather than relying on credit scores or personal income. These loans are perfect for investors who need quick access to capital, especially for fix-and-flip projects, refinancing, or new construction. Crebrid offers competitive interest rates and flexible repayment terms, ensuring you can fund your real estate project efficiently.
Because these loans are asset-based, they allow you to bypass traditional bank requirements, making the approval process quicker and easier. With hard money loans from Crebrid, you can finance your investment projects and move forward without delays.
