Amongst the common misconceptions I see by posters on BP are that hard money loans are junior mortgages to fill the gap between institutional financing and down payment; that it is in lieu of down payment so the borrower can acquire a property with “no money down”, and that it is money borrowed to use for an earnest money deposit.

My issue (one of many) with my current PMC is that they have failed to get me even a single tenant in almost a year now and keep telling me that they don’t understand what the problem is, but literally 30 minutes after I started advertising my units myself, an eligible tenant responded to my own add.
