Hard/Private Money "Pre-Approval?"

[Robert Reineri]

I've bought and sold a number of homes in my life , and even flipped a couple but I've always used conventional financing.

Lately I've run across a couple properties on the MLSthat's say hard money or cash only , bring proof of financing .

As I understand it, hard or private money depends on the property/deal and not the borrower for approval. So is it possible to get some type of funding commitment when I don't yet know which property I'm interested in?

The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to get as fast a close as possible!

Thanks

I’m definitely interested in perspective on this. This prevented a deal from happening.
