Keep more money in your own pocket:

With the right know-how, you won't ever overpay for your loans again.

Protect your investment capital when financing deals:

Even if you have cash to fund these deals, hard money is still a better way to go. Keep your money in the bank for the rest of the deal - if you need it at all!!!

Have a huge advantage over less-knowledgeable investors:

Many investors don't know about hard money, or they're under the false assumption that it's a bad idea. If you work with hard money lenders, you'll be able to secure better deals faster and have a greater advantage over the competition.

Insights into collateralized and cross collateralized lending:

If you know how collateralized lending works, you can combine it with creative financing and transform small time deals into big time successes.

Control your financial fate:

Hard money allows you better control over who you do business with and how you structure it.

Get money fast:

Conventional lenders work at a snail's pace, but in todays Real Estate climate you need a lender who can provide funding within a week. Usually hard money lenders won't request this information, because they are lending on the property's potential rather than the person. That's why borrowing hard money often goes more smoothly and quickly. If you have a good deal, finding money is easy.

Get money on great deals that banks would normally deny:

Sometimes you'll find a great property that needs repairs, making them unsuitable for most banks, but perfect for most hard money lenders. You see, they look at the property's future value, while the bank looks at the property's present condition. By going through a private lender, you open up more doors to opportunity.
