It is much more difficult to get traditional financing for these properties because they are looked at a little different than a primary residence.

You can check our local newspaper for the Hollywood Florida area, for people seeking hard money lenders or investment property financiers. You may find them by looking for classifieds under financing or mortgages or by asking their real estate agent.

Hard money lenders are willing to loan between 50 and 80% of the value of a property after repairs, whereas traditional lenders will only loan based on a property's current value.

Because they already have local contacts it is very possible that it will be your real estate agent in Hollywood Florida that knows exactly ho to call in any investment situation.

Traditional financing is much cheaper than getting a hard money loan. Typically interest rates range from 12-16%. Please note that you may be required to pay 3 to 5 points upfront as well.

Make sure you include them in your purchase and holding costs so that you end up with the profits you are looking for on the property after all is said and done and you simply look at the costs of hard money loans as a cost of doing business.
