Every Friday on the Rules of Thumb blog from MoneyThumb we dedicate our posts to all things concerning lending, especially hard money lending. The reason for this is that we have a lot of blog readers and customers who use our proprietary software, PDF Insights, to help them make quicker and better-informed lending decisions.
On this particular Friday, Oct. 22, 2021, we have decided it's the perfect time to offer our blog readers and PDF Insights customers a look into the world of blogging about hard money lending. Many of these blogs listed below deal specifically with real estate investing since most hard money lenders use properties as collateral for loans. They say knowledge is power, so without further ado, below is a list of what we consider the best blogs for hard money lenders for your education:
