POPSHard Money: what it is, how to use it Hard-Money lenders will give you a Pre-Approval (not PreQual) letter within an hour or so. They can also close fast (days not weeks) once their appraisal has been done. Hard-Money lenders qualify the property NOT the borrower unlike a loan from a "conventional" lender!!
