Hard Money And Its Urgency In The House Flipping Business

Hard money is almost synonymous to urgent when it comes to flipping houses. With competition among rehabbers heating up amid the recession, it is but important to secure funding for projects as soon as possible.

Hard money lenders are willing to answer this call to urgency and provide the needed funds. This makes hard money loans a better option for those in the flipping houses business. There are several factors why hard money loans are approved much faster than conventional loans.

First of all, lenders also know the urgency of financing in flipping houses. If they don’t grant you the funding immediately, there is a risk that the rehabber might lose the deal. A lost deal for the rehabber (or the borrower) is also a lost of profit opportunity for the lender. The sooner the lender issues the loan, the sooner he gets the returns for his money.

Second, hard money financing is collateral-based. The collateral is the house you will flip. Lenders will mostly look at the profitability of the property you will rehab and not your credit score. This process is much faster that assessing the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Third, hard money lenders usually operate on their own. This means that if you convince the lender that your deal is worth financing, you’ll get the cash fast. Bank and other traditional lenders, on the other hand, usually employ a panel or a team to process loans. They also need the approval of several personnel before loans are released, further slowing down the process.

In some online networks, hard money loans may be approved in at least two days. Try RehabHardMoney.com. The web site has hard money lenders everywhere in the country on stand by to issue loans for those in the flipping houses business. RehabHardMoney.com also allows borrowers to be pre-qualified for loans just by filling out a submission form. Rehab Hard Money also gives out free reports for those who pre-qualify. Hard money lenders who want to join the nationwide program of Rehab Hard Money can also fill out a separate form.

Wireless N router for a better speeds for a network hard drive?

I have a wireless N capable laptop and a network hard drive connected directly to the network. I am curently using only a G capable router. Would upgrading to a wireless N router speed up my transfer speeds enough that I would notice?

possibly yes.

Remember that most wireless networks will default to the slowest device connected. If you have anything else, like a wi-fi phone, xbox / ps2, or anything else, they may slow your wireless down.

If you take the time to configure your 802.11n network correctly, you may see speeds as high as 10X "normal g" or 5X 'g-extreme'/ 'g+'. Right now, your bandwidth bottleneck is probably the wireless.
If you have a SATA drive, USB connection, wired ethernet.. they all are about the same orders of speed.
802.11n is pretty close, too.

Now, if you only have a single-phase N router (also known as ' a cheap one') - don't bother. If you have something slower in your systems... like an older USB 1 or 1.1 "high-speed" connection to your hard disk.. or if the hard disk is not SATA speed.. ( IDE 100 or 133), then you won't see any improvements. If your wireless card is 'pre-n capable' then it may not really be able to get the full benefit of an upgrade to 802.11N anyhow. It needs to be dual-channel capable to realize all the benefits.

For now - before you spend your money on something new, check out articles on how to tweak your network settings to maximize speed. Improving your antenna placement, changing fragmentation size/ min-max packet sizes, examining the throughput on your storage drive - possibly changing filesystems or defragging files - check for firmware updates on all the parts - and software driver updates. All of these things may help you get more from what you have .. and later, if you still want to upgrade, then you will know how to maximize your throughput using the added bands on an 802.11 N device.
