Key Highlights:

What are Hard Money Loans Used For In Washington State?

Real Estate Investors in Washington State use hard money loans to purchase, rehab, and construct investment properties.

A hard money loan is an “asset-based” loan in which the loan amount is based on the as-is value and after repair value of a property as well as the credit scores of the borrowing company’s owners.

Hard money loans allow Washington State real estate investors to secure financing for fix and flips, ground-up construction, and rental properties through an LLC or a Corp without using their personal income.

For most hard money loans, investors will have to bring a 10%-20% down payment and can use the hard money loan to finance the remainder of their project.

As Washington State real estate investors acquire more experience, hard money lenders like Ridge Street will increase their leverage and require less cash at the closing table.

Best Cities To Invest In Real Estate
In Washington State

Seattle, WA

Seattle’s fix and flip market offers solid potential, especially in neighborhoods like Ballard, West Seattle, and Capitol Hill, where demand for updated homes remains strong. Median home prices are higher than most Washington cities, but Seattle’s strong job market and limited housing supply help sustain property values. For investors, targeting homes with outdated interiors or adding ADUs can improve margins. Renovations that emphasize energy efficiency and modern design trends also tend to attract higher offers. Given Seattle’s competitive market, securing fast financing can provide an edge when bidding on properties with strong resale potential.

Tacoma, WA

Tacoma offers a more affordable entry point for fix and flip investors compared to Seattle, with lower median home prices and steady demand driven by commuters and local buyers. Neighborhoods like North End, Stadium District, and Hilltop are popular targets for investors due to their walkability and growing appeal. Investors can often find older homes with solid structures that need cosmetic updates, providing strong value-add potential. Renovations that enhance curb appeal, modernize kitchens and bathrooms, and improve energy efficiency tend to deliver the best returns. Tacoma’s market is competitive but less intense than Seattle, giving investors more flexibility with timelines and renovation strategies.

Spokane, WA

Spokane’s affordable home prices and strong rental demand make it an excellent market for both fix and flip investors and those using the BRRRR strategy. Investors can often acquire older properties in neighborhoods like South Hill, Garland District, and Shadle Park at relatively low prices, then add value through strategic renovations. Cosmetic updates, modernizing interiors, and improving curb appeal tend to yield solid returns in Spokane’s cost-conscious market. For BRRRR investors, Spokane’s stable rental demand makes it easier to secure long-term tenants and refinance to pull equity out for future investments. This combination of affordable entry costs and reliable rental income makes Spokane a compelling option for the fix and refinance strategy.
