Fix-and-flip loans

Fix-and-flip loans provide short-term business-purpose financing for an investment property's purchase and renovation before resale.

Short answer

Fix-and-flip loans provide short-term business-purpose financing for an investment property's purchase and renovation before resale. The lender evaluates acquisition cost, scope of work, after-repair value, borrower experience, liquidity, and the exit plan. These are investment loans, not a substitute for owner-occupied renovation financing or a promise of project profit.

How it works with me

A process you can see the whole way through

01

Explain the goal

Start with the property, location, intended use, and timing. The short form carries this product into the team's review.

02

Review the evidence

Purchase contract, current condition, and detailed renovation budget. Contractor plan, permits, timeline, and experience. Estimated resale value, cash reserves, and backup exit strategy. Use the secure application for financial documents.

03

Compare actual options

The team checks current program requirements and complete costs before you choose whether to apply.

What to know before you decide

Cash flow during the renovation can decide the project

Renovation funds may be released through inspected draws rather than at closing. Plan for deposits, work completed before reimbursement, interest, taxes, insurance, and contingencies. A lender's approval of a budget does not guarantee that contractors finish on time or that resale supports the projected price.

Compare the tradeoffs

Compare origination fees, draw charges, interest on funded versus committed amounts, extension terms, and the cost of a delayed sale. Model a slower exit and a lower resale price before committing.

Fix-and-flip loans: common questions

Can I live in a home financed with a business-purpose flip loan?

This path is for genuine investment use, not your primary residence. For a home you intend to occupy, start with an owner-occupied renovation or construction review instead.

Does the website check affect my credit?

No. The website assessment does not pull credit or approve a loan. It sends your answers to the team so the next conversation starts with your situation.
