I have done a very limited amount HML from time to time. I base the loan on the deal but like to see a credit report on someone I do not know just to get a feel of the type of person I am dealing with. A credit report shows the charactor of the person you are dealing with. HML in your area may be doing the same.
There are Hard Money Lenders in just about every state. Look in your newspaper under Money to Lend.
The main thing they are looking for is your LTV.
So, if you have a property you can buy for $70K that is worth $100K as-is, (70% LTV), than you can probably find a hard money lender.
Post your question in the Real Estate financing section of this board and also the National Mortgage News website has a grapevine section for posting requests for lenders.
