Hard Money Lenders for New Hampshire Real Estate

If you’re interested in becoming a “fix and flip” investor in the New Hampshire real estate market, you might be wondering how to quickly secure the capital you’ll need when you identify an ideal project. New Hampshire has experienced a steady decrease in inventory of for-sale homes which means any property hitting the market that represents an appealing fix and flip opportunity is likely to catch the attention of other interested investors. Given the slow pace of the traditional loan process, trying to secure a conventional mortgage could lead you to lose out on a property to another investor who is able to secure funding in a shorter time frame. One solution some investors are finding is to receive financing from hard money lenders that service the New Hampshire real estate market.

Working with hard money lenders servicing New Hampshire can be a viable way to access short-term financing, for several reasons. First, because these lenders are in the business of supplying capital to investors for short-term, time-sensitive projects, they’ve developed processes to get that money into borrowers’ hands much more quickly than a bank or other conventional lending institution can. Second, whereas a traditional loan often hinges on a borrower’s personal financial position and credit history, hard money lenders may base their decisions on the asset that needs to be financed in addition to other criteria on a case-by-case basis.

All of which is to say that hard money lenders operating in New Hampshire can provide you with the capital you need in a hurry to acquire a property to fix and flip.

The demand for housing in New Hampshire is high, due in large part to domestic in-migration from neighboring states. According to a recent US Census report covered in US News & World Report, New Hampshire experienced its largest annual population gain in more than a decade. This influx of residents to the state also helps explain why, according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, New Hampshire has the second-lowest unemployment rate in the country — just 2.6%.

Given these factors, it’s easy to understand why, as the New Hampshire Business Review reported, the state has been experiencing a housing-supply shortfall — both in densely populated areas like Hillsborough and Rockingham, as well as statewide. This lack of inventory of homes for sale helps explain why residential real estate investors are turning to hard money lenders for New Hampshire projects for quick financing when properties become available.

What is a Hard Money Loan for New Hampshire Real Estate?

Hard money loans for New Hampshire real estate projects are short-term real estate investment loans, made only for non-owner-occupied property, and backed by the property itself.

There are three main characteristics that distinguish hard money loans for New Hampshire from a traditional real estate mortgage from a conventional lender in the state. First, qualification for hard money loans can happen much more quickly — allowing a borrower to access needed capital faster than with a traditional loan (and often at a higher interest rate).

Second, hard money loans are typically designed for much shorter holding periods — usually only up to 3 years, as opposed to a traditional 30-year mortgage — which makes them viable financing options for short-term investments like a fix and flip.
