Maximizing Returns with Short-Term Real Estate Investments

July 30, 2024 · 4 min read

Investing in real estate can be a lucrative venture, especially when it comes to short-term investments. Key strategies such as hard money lending and bridge loans can significantly enhance the potential for high returns. In this article, we’ll explore these strategies and how companies like Yieldi, based in Atlanta, are revolutionizing the landscape of real estate investing.

Understanding Hard Money Lending

Hard money lending is a form of short-term, asset-based financing where private individuals or companies provide loans to borrowers, primarily secured by real estate. These loans are commonly used for real estate investments, development projects, or property flips when traditional financing is not available or not suitable.

Hard money loans are secured by the property they’re tied to instead of the borrower’s credit and financial profile. The loan is typically based on the property’s value and comes with a short repayment term, usually less than a year. For this reason, they’re often sought out by those who buy homes with the intent to fix them up and sell them quickly.

The Role of Bridge Loans

A bridge loan is another form of short-term financing that can be instrumental in real estate investing. It’s often used to cover the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. Like hard money loans, bridge loans are typically secured by real estate and are based on the value of the property.

Bridge loans can help homeowners purchase a new home while they wait for their current home to sell. Borrowers use the equity in their current home for the down payment on the purchase of a new home. This gives the homeowner some extra time and, more often than not, some peace of mind while they wait.
