Hard Money Lender Questions.
Hi Everyone...
I am looking at using a Hard Money Lender.
What kind of questions should be asked to make sure I am using the right one? Thanks for your imputs!

Hey Shaun. I'm no pro by any means, however the questions I've been asking are:
-Whether they offer credit based loans, asset based loans or both.
-How much are their origination fees.
-Timeline for repayment. Also how much of that time is for construction (I do flips)
-Interest rates and if variable, what are those rates and how I can get them lower.
-Total payout. Of course this varies but if you already have a deal they may do the math on your contract for you.
These are my questions. I'd like to hear what you or anyone else asks. I'm still learning.
