Real estate lending · Hard Money

Hard Money Leads

Hard money leads are investors who need a loan underwritten on the property's value and equity because the deal can't wait on a bank. Every borrower tells us the collateral, the loan amount against its as-is value and how they plan to pay you back. Leads are phone-verified and sold to you alone or shared with a set number of lenders.

What you can buy

  • Phone-verified hard money requests

    The form opens with the property and the equity in it, and the lead is only created after the investor enters the text code sent to their phone.

  • Fast-close purchase loans

    Investors buying at auction, off-market or against a tight contract deadline who need funds in place to close.

  • Cash-out on owned property

    Investors with free-and-clear or low-balance properties who want to pull equity for the next acquisition.

  • Hard money refinances

    Borrowers whose current short-term loan is maturing and who need a new lender to extend or replace it.

Consent and compliance

Consent and compliance

Each lead is verified by a one-time text code (OTP) sent to the borrower's phone at submission, and the record carries a TrustedForm certificate.

Loans in this program are business-purpose loans to investors, secured by investment property. We don't quote rates or points, and we don't promise approval or a closing date. Licensing for business-purpose lending varies by state, and staying licensed where you lend is your responsibility.

The math

Run your own numbers

Asset-based lending is a margin business. Track what each funded loan costs you to originate.

  1. 1Line

    Fundable rate = leads with an LTV and exit you'd fund ÷ leads delivered

  2. 2Line

    Close rate = loans funded ÷ fundable leads

  3. 3Line

    Cost per funded loan = lead spend ÷ loans funded

  4. 4Line

    Return per loan = points plus interest over the expected hold, minus cost per funded loan

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Do you sell the same lead to other lenders?

Only if you choose shared. Leads are either sold to you alone or shared with a set number of lenders, and your agreement states which.

Are these borrowers looking for long-term financing?

This form is built for short-term, asset-based loans. Rental investors who want long-term financing run through our DSCR program instead.

Can I limit leads by LTV or property type?

Yes. We can filter on the requested loan against the stated value, plus property type, state and how soon the borrower needs to close.

How are leads delivered?

Each lead posts to your CRM by webhook with the collateral details in their own fields. If you work from an inbox, we deliver by email.

What is your return policy?

Return rules are written into your agreement before the first lead.

How is pricing set, and what states do you cover?

Pricing and coverage are set per program after you apply, based on your markets and volume.
