How to Determine If a Hard Money Loan Will Provide Good ROI

, ,

What is ROI?

ROI or ‘Return On Investment’ means the percentage of invested money that’s recouped after the deduction of associated costs. This is the amount of money gained from an investment. The most basic ROI formula is:

ROI=(Gain−Cost)/Cost.

Hard money loans can provide great ROI if three important factors are taken into consideration. speed, flexibility, and returns are high.
