A hard money loan should act in a similar manner as a traditional mortgage. Some aspects of real estate investing and commercial real estate borrowing are no different from buying a home. In both cases, someone wants to borrow money to purchase a property, or to take money out of a property they already own. That means there are at least two, and often three parties involved, a borrower, a lender, and a seller. It is no less important in business real estate transactions than it is in buying a home for both parties to protect themselves. What is a title loan? Using a title company to close is a key part of the process in protecting everyone. Title companies can provide a title commitment and tax certificate up front. This will let all the parties know if there are any existing liens recorded against the property, and if any taxes remain to be paid. A buyer wants to make sure there is not a cloud on title when they purchase a loan, and the title commitment provides an initial check to prevent that. A title company will also hold the earnest money down payment on a commercial real estate purchase, just like on a home loan. This guarantees a buyer that their money has been accounted for, and is secured for the closing.Title Companies And Hard Money Loans

Title Companies And Closing Statements
Title companies also provide an invaluable resource for closing loans. They provide the closing statement that breaks down where all the money is going to and coming from in the transaction. When conducting the closing, a title company guarantees all parties sign the required documents. They also have a notary there to provide notary services where required. They’ll provide the recording services with the county clerk’s office, and they will also issue an insured closing letter and a title policy, guaranteeing the closing was conducted correctly and protecting each party’s interest in the property with regard to previous and existing liens. Perhaps most importantly, the title companies collect and disperse all the funds in the transaction, giving everyone a single point of contact from which to send or receive funds.
