When is it better to go the hard money route vs the conventional route? Is it purely based on not having the ability to pay a full down payment or having bad credit on a conventional loan?
I have a friend that is convinced it's a no lose scenario to go the ARV hard money route for a potential flip. I don't know enough details to inform him either way. He's pre-approved for $250,000, has enough for a 30k down payment if he went conventional, and had great credit. I believe the property he is aiming for would be in the $150,000 to $200,000 range.
Anyone with experience?
