Hard Money Rehab Loans – Reasons For Loan Turn Downs

It’s not uncommon for a deal to make sense to a borrower, only to be turned down by the lender. There are many reasons a lender may decline a loan. We will look at the three most common reasons that almost every hard money lender gives for declining a loan even if the numbers on paper make sense. So what are those three reasons?
