Avoid Scams: Use a Reputable Arizona Hard Money Lender
Vet your to ensure you’re not being taken for a ride.
We live in a time where scams run rampant. We receive calls asking for personal information from illegitimate sources. We get emails phishing for our data. We have to live in a diligent manner in order to avoid the pitfalls of scammers.
Unfortunately, Arizona Hard Money Lenders fall into this category. While it’s not the norm, one bad apple can spoil the bunch. That’s why we’re here to tell you that places like Level 4 Funding are dedicated to providing clear and concise loan information so that you can feel comfortable funding your project with one of our loans.
Here are some ways to detect an illegitimate Arizona Hard Money Lender:
Too Good to Be True
We learn this from a young age and see it time and time again. There’s always fine print so you want to review any and all paperwork and contracts for the fine print that could get you into hot water. Things like large prepayment penalties may be hiding in the fine print, waiting to sneak up if you’re not prepared.
You Vet Them, They Vet You
Would you loan a stranger a large sum of money without knowing their background? Neither will a legitimate Arizona Hard Money Lender. They are handing over thousands of dollars and need to know that it’s going to someone who can handle the responsibility and plan their investment properly.
Extra Up Front Fees
While Arizona Hard Money Lenders may require a loan origination fee or a smaller sum of money as a sort of earnest deposit, if you’re being asked to hand over what seems like an unreasonably large amount of money before your loan is funded, beware!
Word of mouth is a great way to make sure you’re going to work with a tried and true lender. Speak to former clients and look up reviews. There are forums that you can find where investors talk about their experiences with certain Arizona Hard Money Lenders. If you’re seeing a lot of negative experiences, it might not be the lender for you.
