People make mistakes with money. It happens. You don’t mean

you couldn’t see another way out—or maybe you and your credit card were the
life of the party in college.

Too bad your rotten credit rating is keeping you from getting approved for a

But there is a solution to your problem—commercial hard money lenders!
What Is A Commercial Hard Money Lender?
Don’t worry–you are not dealing with your local loan shark.
So you don’t have to worry about someone trying to take out your kneecaps if
you miss a couple of payments. No, commercial hard money lenders are legitimate, private individuals or companies that
loan money to people and businesses with rotten credit who can’t get approved
for a traditional loan.

Loans are secured by commercial property and will have
higher interest rates than conventional loans. Since there is more risk involved
for lenders, they can charge higher interest rates. It is not unusual to see a
lender charge 11-13 percent and three points.

If you want to go into business for yourself, it is a cost
you have no choice but to accept. You may hesitate because you don’t want to
risk having your business foreclosed on, but lenders don’t want to foreclose on
your property if they can at all avoid it. When they do, it is not unusual for
them to lose money—and no one wants to lose money.

Beware The Fees And the Dreaded Balloon Payment!
Commercial hard money lenders are not going to be willing to wait 10-30 years to get their money
back. They give short term loans; typically for a year, but maybe as long as
three years. With the interest rates being as high as they are, if you can, it
is not a bad idea to try and pay the loan off early—that is, unless there is an
exit fee or prepayment penalty.

While it may sound strange to be penalized for paying a loan
off early, lenders make money when you pay interest. If you pay the loan off
early, you don’t pay as much interest. So to recoup this loss, some will charge
a prepayment or early payment penalty.

You will want to know if your loan has a balloon payment at
the end. Where these can sting is if you are paying your loan off late, like
many hard money loans often are. So along with the balloon payment you get
stuck with a hefty late fee making it even more difficult to get the loan paid
off.
