Hard money and private investing are both ways to finance flips, but they work a little differently.Hard money loans are typically from companies or private lenders that specialize in short-term, high-interest loans.

If the proposed loan is too risky because (1) chance of default is too high and or (2) cost of foreclosing too high or time it takes too long and we would otherwise decline the loan, we might offer to purchase the subject property for a price equal to the loan amount.  

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
