Hard Money Loan Program Highlights For Gas Stations and Convenience Stores
Designed for businesses with little to no financials, underperforming sites and locations that require a fast close. Hard money or private money is a totally different type of financing. In years past, it was strictly based on the collateral value of the gas station, convenience store or truck stop. No credit was given for good will and full value was not usually given for equipment also.
Sometimes a lender may have a warehouse line with a bank or insurance company to do these private loans. Some were pooled funds. Some lenders were just wealthy individuals. We’ve closed with all sorts of hard money lenders. Some of them were even owners of junk yards or chicken farms!
