When presenting a deal to a hard money lender, focus on an overview of the project with a concise summary of the property, including its location, type, and current condition. Highlight the loan amount needed, the purchase price, after-repair value (ARV), and your planned exit strategy (e.g., flip, refinance, or rental). Provide details on your experience, creditworthiness, and any collateral you’re offering. Be prepared with a clear budget, timeline, and comps to support your valuation.
