Hardmoneyman.com LLC is the market leader for spec home construction loans. We have made thousands of hard money spec home construction loans over the last 2+ decades.
While many lenders claim to make ground up construction loans, we have built houses ourselves and understand exactly what our borrowers are looking for in a lender on their deals.
With our commonsense underwriting and quick closings, you will never look for another lender again after closing your 1st deal with us!!
New construction spec home loans require a lender that understands the whole process from acquiring the lot (or lots and putting the pieces of the land together), to entitlements, permits, approved plans and then most important, closing your loan and getting your draws done quickly.

I have closed multiple deals with Ken. He’s to the point, very straight forward and won’t lead you on. He’s helped guide me along the way. I will always recommend him to my friends and I will always use him for my deals.

This was my first time using any type of hard money financing so I had tons of questions along the way. Ken answered every one and even helped me out a lot with great recommendations as far as building my real eatate portfolio. Look forward to working with him on future deals and would recommend. No nonsense. No bs. All buisness!!

The experience my husband’s and my company (Kingdom Realty, LLC) had with HardMoneyMan.com, LLC/Ken Vesely was five-star, from our very first interaction to closing. Ken is efficient, responsive, transparent and extremely knowledgeable. He kept his word on all things discussed, with no surprises along the way, which is extremely important with matters such as these. This was Kingdom Realty LLC's first experience with a hard money loan. Ken took the time to answer all of our questions and taught us a lot throughout our loan approval process. We closed our deal in less than 30 days; and would have closed sooner had it not been for the holidays. We are very much looking forward to working with HardMoneyMan.com LLC for our next deal, and strongly recommend this company to others looking to invest in real estate, close a deal quickly, and learn some tips along the way.
