If the property type is too unique or otherwise unacceptable with conventional financing (for example, pre HUD manufactured home) hard money might be more doable. You may save money on origination fee but you'll certainly spend it on the rest of the terms which are going to be advantageous only to the lender. May or may not require appraisal.

For the buyer, it may be the only financing option available.
For the investor, with the right "product" there are always opportunities. Hopefully with the right intent.

Kyle, I second Jeff Dowler's response. The speed at which you can move is much faster too.

For some it's an only option. Less credit requirements, higher interest which they can refinance at a later time.

Less restrictive, faster closing and often simpler terms but at the cost of a higher interest rate. They're not for everybody!

Kyle Beers Private investors may not be so critical with a borrowers credit information. In return they will pay a higher interest rate to get a loan.

Interest rate will probably be higher.

If this investor is not able to obtain a loan thru regular lending institutions.

Advantage.
No safeguards in place so the buyer can fly as close to the sun as they wish.
Investor makes LOTS of money and could end up owning the house.
House can be uninhabitable.
Borrower my be completely unable to qualify for a loan. Now this could be because the borrower income is not W2 based and funds may be undocumented. Wells and Chase are unlikely to play ball.
Can close on property very fast.
Since such lending is typically between investors, the protections of the occupant buyer are minimal. Private lenders are exposed to GREAT risk when lending to an occupant buyer.
Nee Kracker Lending LLC suggests collection may be more personal for non-performance.
