Thursday June 8th – NY Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox – Yankees Win 9 – 1

On a beautiful Thursday evening in the Bronx, Houlihan & O’Malley joined many other members of the Bronx-Manhattan North Board of Realtors for their annual NY Yankees outing. Liz Genovese and Steven Manela of the appraisal group, as well as Rich Salinaro and Dan Houlihan of the private lending division were on hand to see the game and connect with their peers to discuss the real estate industry and, of course, talk a little baseball.

The outing was a great way to for the realtor board members to connect in a low-key setting. Between the hot dogs, burgers and beers it was a fun night out for Liz, Steven, Rich and Dan. The icing on the cake was the Yankees win over their dreaded rival the Boston Red Sox!…

Hard Money Lenders vs. Crowdfunding

What is a Hard Money Loan and how does it work?

A hard money loan is similar to a mortgage from a conventional lender (a bank, an insurance agency, a trust), however the three biggest differences are the speed with which a loan can be closed, the loan term, and the interest rates.
Hard Money interest rates vary and can be anywhere from 7% up to 15% (and sometimes higher) depending on the Lender’s perceived risk.
Loans can be closed as quickly as 1-2 weeks depending on the project that needs funding, which is extremely quick as compared to the 60-90 days with a conventional lender.
Loan terms are generally short-term (1-2 years) as borrowers do their best to either sell or refinance their properties with a conventional lender so as to avoid the higher interest rates.
The last difference, although this does vary from hard money lender to hard money lender, is that your average hard money lenders do not do much background investigation into their borrowers. Unlike a conventional lender or a crowdfunded lender, credit scores and personal finances typically aren’t taken into account as long as the property itself produces enough income to service the debt.
