Why Borrowers Use
Zeus Hard Money?

Many times, a great real estate deal doesn’t fit into the tiny little boxes on a conventional loan form. At Zeus Hard Money, our objective is to fully understand the circumstances and situation when approving hard cash loans, including the borrower’s requirements, the real estate asset, the exit strategy, and more. Armed with all the facts, we tailor solutions that address the needs of each specific situation. This personalized level of service is what makes Zeus Hard Money the best hard money lender in Houston, TX.

Here are a few instances when Zeus Hard Money is the best financial choice.

Non-Traditional Borrowers Borrowers who have non-traditional income, non-traditional assets, or non-traditional credit are often limited in their financing options.
Non-Traditional Properties A property that needs flooring, HVAC, or appliances will not qualify for traditional financing. Properties that require renovations for the optimal resale value don’t qualify for traditional financing either.
Time Sensitive Closings Distressed sales and purchases, and time sensitive and contingency closings are common in real estate. These scenarios require quick closings but the average turnaround time for a traditional closing is 45 calendar days (depending on the market area).
Unique Circumstances Traditional "inside-the-box" lending leaves no room for the story behind the circumstances. These stories can unveil fact patterns of liquidity, collateral, and opportunity. Imagine the single mother with poor credit and no income, who is actually a widow of a slain police officer simply waiting for her new pension and life insurance proceeds. Or, the retired executive with no reportable or taxable income, but large assets and a perfect credit profile.
GETTING THE RIGHT FINANCING

Is Almost As Important As Getting The Right Property.

If you’re an investor interested in renting, rehabbing, or flipping, one of the most important things you have to consider is where you get your money. Why? Because without your ability to close on time or with the right terms, you are destined to fail. You don’t want to be an investor statistic! Let Zeus Hard Money provide you with the same loan resources available to the most seasoned investors in Houston, Texas, and beyond.

If you need 100% financing or money to rehab your investment properties while getting the lowest payment to maximize cash flow, then apply now or call us. The next move is up to you. We can’t help you if we don’t hear from you!
