Prime products include loans exceeding FNMA/
FHLMC loan limits, but they generally use
traditional conforming credit guidelines. Minimum
FICO scores would be 620 and greater, and few
mortgage lates would be allowed (zero or one
within 12 months).

HARD MONEY
31 | Hard Money
CONSTRUCTION
35 | Construction
Hard-money lenders generally give more
consideration to the value of the property/
collateral than to credit history. LTVs are usually
less than 65 percent and credit scores, if required,
are less than 500. They specialize in unique, hard-to-find loans. Hard-money lending can be referred
to as private, equity or portfolio lending.
