What Is A Fix
and Flip Loan

Fix and flip loans are a short-term financing option used by real estate investors to purchase and renovate properties. These loans are designed specifically for investors who intend to buy distressed or undervalued properties, improve them, and sell or refinance them within 12 Months. The loan amount is based on a Loan-To-Value % and a Loan-To-Cost % set by the lender. Fix and flip loans are interest only loans which have a balloon payment where the sum of the unpaid balance and interest is paid when you sell the property. The benefit of using fix and flip loan is that real estate investors don’t have to rely on their personal income, can close in an entity, and can access leverage and closing timelines that banks will not match.

Fix and Flip Loan Summary

This property, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home acquired after bank seizure, offered a strong opportunity for a light cosmetic rehab. With a purchase price of $200,900, rehab costs of $42,450, and an after-repair value estimated at $325,000, the deal showcased a clear path to profit for both fix & flip and fix & refinance scenarios.

Key Highlights:

  • Unique Conditions: The property was inspected just one week before Hurricane Milton, and we accepted photos verifying post-storm condition—no re-inspection needed.
  • First-Time Investor Friendly: We provided 82.5% initial LTV to this first time investor, reducing the their cash-to-close by $5,000.
  • No Inspection Rehab Draws: As the borrower completed construction on the property we provided rehab draws based on pictures of completed work.
