Hard money loans are short-term, asset-based financings where the loan is secured by the value of real estate property rather than the borrower’s creditworthiness. These loans are typically used for projects like fix-and-flip, bridge financing, or real estate development.

Platforms like addy facilitate investments in hard money loans by allowing investors to fund these projects, while also providing borrowers with access to necessary capital. This creates a symbiotic relationship where investors can diversify their portfolios with real estate-backed assets, and borrowers can efficiently secure funding for their ventures.
