Hardmoney lender vs. Loan Officer/Originator

[Juan Rosado]

I was talking with my agent about hard money lending and he told me he does not know any hard money lenders, but he knows several loan officers/originators. Could someone please explain whats the difference between the two terms and which one should I apply (hard money lending, or loan officer) to get an FHA loan?

@Juan Rosado Hard money is a short term high interest rate loan that allows borrowers to leverage their money. These are normally used for rehabs and investment properties. A traditional mortgage is for a primary residents that is more of a low interest long term loan.
