A Guide To Atlanta Hard Money Lending

By Tom G. Honeycutt


The money-lending scenario in which the property used as collateral is of more interest to the lender than the borrower's ability to pay is known as Atlanta hard money lending. This is a very specialized, short-term type of lending, also known as a bridging loan. This situation is more expensive to the borrower than more traditional lending scenarios.

The capital of the American state of Georgia is Atlanta. The state capital is approximately 250 miles inland in the upper left-hand quadrant of the state. The Atlantic coast is a three to four-hour drive. Poised at the intersection of two railroad lines, the city was established in 1837. It is known in international economic circles as an alpha world city. It has a gross domestic product of $270 billion.

The population of Atlanta is around 430,000 as recorded at the census in 2010. It has a population density of 3,188 people per square mile. The city is served by two interstate highways. These are I-20, which runs east-west, and I-85, which lies north-south. Public school districts, Emory University and Delta Air Lines make up some of the top employers in the metropolitan area. There are three professional ball teams in the city - The Braves baseball team, the Falcons NFL football team and the Hawks basketball team.

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is a short distance from downtown via I-85. Perhaps surprisingly, it is the busiest airport in the world in terms of the numbers of passengers, 95 million in 2012. The airport is the job of Delta Air Lines and opened in May 1928.

Mozley Park is a mature, well-established neighborhood built in the 1920s. Homes are mainly Folk Victorian cottages and Craftsman bungalows without driveways. The Folk Victorian style is a combination of the American homestead style with English classic cottage. The name follows the French and English convention of naming architectural styles after the reigning monarch, in this case, Queen Victoria.

The American Craftsman genre evolved out of the English Arts and Crafts movement in the 1860s and remained popular for 60 or 70 years. At this time, skilled workmanship was more highly prized than knocking buildings up in a hurry. Consequently, these homes remained the preserve of the wealthy.

These are only two of the potential styles of housing that might be used as collateral for Atlanta hard money lending. The entire city is an abundance of fascinating architectural genres. Among these are Neo-Classical, American Colonial and Neo-Mediterranean. The area's British and Spanish heritage speaks to Georgian, Federalist and Ante-bellum styles of construction.
