Have You Ever Heard Our Story About
How We Got Into Hard Money Lending?…

From: Chris Haddon & Jason Balin
Hard Money Bankers
Columbia, Maryland

When we started our hard money lending company, it was a much different time. It was late 2007 and the whole real estate world had just crashed. Homeowners and investors alike saw their properties lose a ton of value and many fell into foreclosure. Private lenders saw their investor capital disappear. Banks got hit so bad that they had to be bailed out by the federal government.

And here we are saying to each other, “You know, I think the hard money model is the best one for us…and now seems like a great time to start.” Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?! We didn’t know it at the time, but we were right on both counts!

Our phone started ringing almost immediately. There was a new hard money company in town and they had capital to lend. Right away we saw the power of this business model. Get a few leads, quote a few loans, and before we knew it—we had a check in our hands from our first closing.

Now we just had to scale.

We dove right into marketing. Online, offline, in-person sales, you name it and we tried it. We spoke at all of the local events, built a solid presence online, and before we knew it everyone in the local real estate investor community knew the name Hard Money Bankers.

As our loan pipeline grew, our capital base needed to grow as well. This led to systems: choosing the right types of investors, having the most effective materials and presentation, proper follow-up procedures, and developing the right mindset.

Getting our capital raising process dialed in led to plenty of investor money, referrals, and a capital base that grows organically even to this day. Next came building a team and employing the right software and systems to make them efficient and effective.

Flash forward to today and HMB has a loan portfolio of $50+ million outstanding, plenty more capital available if needed, and a happy productive team!
