Hard Money is for suckers" is copywriting designed for you to want to get in touch and put in a loan request so they can sell your info to me and I can hopefully close your deal.In my marketing, I often use "Hard Money" as a blanket term for Real Estate Investors because its a widely know term, thought its rarely understood.There is good and bad to all things, including Hard Money vs Private Investor...It seems like you're giving up half your profit.I would think its worth paying a a bit of a higher rate and being able to keep 100% of the profit on some of your deals.I am happy to discuss further.
