Hi:
Congrats on your first flip!!! Would you mind providing the details of the deal? Since, I am a newbie myself, I love learning about creative ways to do deals. Unfortunately, I can not shed any light on hard money lenders, but I am sure you will find out all you need to know from this site.
Good luck!
From your post, I am confused? Who is in the boat for financing? Usually a flip constitutes that you already own (not by contract) the property. If you are not the owner, you are assigning the contract for an amount. In this post the amount is 40K.
A closing in today’s market – Chicago area (many refinances) they are taking between 30 – 60 days to close with another 45-60 days to contend with the backlog in the county recorders office.
The lenders are backlogged with excitement and processing too. Call your attorney; sometimes they are the first to receive updated information.
Good Job!
