Hard Money 101

What is hard money?

A hard money loan is a loan secured by a “hard asset”: real estate. Instead of underwriting your personal income or employment history, a hard money lender like I Am Lender sizes the loan against the property's after-repair value (ARV), the property's worth once the rehab is complete.

That means no tax returns or W-2s to dig up, and no months of committee review. Most deals move from scenario review to funded in 14 days or less, so you can act when the deal is in front of you instead of waiting on a bank.

How It Works

From scenario review to closing table

Tell us about the deal

A 3-minute scenario review. Property address, purchase price, rehab budget, and your exit plan. That's it.

Term sheet in 24 business hours

We underwrite the asset, not your tax returns. You get real numbers in writing within one business day.

Close in days

Clear title, sign, fund. Most deals close in 14 days or less so you never lose a property to slow money.
