An Introduction 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.

Atlanta is the capital of the American state of Georgia. Although the state itself has an Atlantic shoreline, the capital is located in the northwest quadrant of the state, 250 miles away from the coast. The drive time between the state capital and Savannah, Georgia, on the coast, is approximately three and a half hours. Atlanta was founded in 1837 and evolved around the intersection of two railway lines. It is considered an "alpha" world city with a gross domestic product of 270 billion dollars.

There are almost 450,000 as determined at the census in 2010. There are approximately 3,200 per square mile. Atlanta is bisected by two interstate highways, I-20 running east/west, and I-85 running north/south. The city hosts three professional sports clubs: the Hawks (basketball), the Braves (major league baseball) and the NFL football team, the Falcons. The top local employers include Delta Air Lines, Emory University and several public school districts.

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.
