Fix and Flip Loans — Fast Hard Money Financing for Real Estate Investors

Fix and flip loans are short-term hard money loans designed for real estate investors who purchase distressed or undervalued properties, renovate them, and sell for a profit. Unlike conventional mortgages, fix-and-flip financing is asset-based — meaning your approval is driven by the property's After-Repair Value (ARV) and the strength of your deal, not just your personal income or credit score.

What Are Fix and Flip Loans?

A fix and flip loan — also called a rehab loan or hard money flip loan — provides short-term capital to cover both the acquisition cost and renovation budget for an investment property. These loans are typically structured as interest-only bridge products with terms ranging from 6 to 18 months, giving investors the flexibility to complete renovations and sell without the pressure of a fully amortizing payment.

Our fix-and-flip financing is structured around ARV, so experienced investors can access higher leverage on deals where the renovated value clearly supports it. We fund single-family homes, 2–4 unit properties, and small multifamily rehab projects.

  • Flexible credit overlays — bad credit loans available for experienced investors

How LTC and LTV Work in Fix-and-Flip Lending

Loan-to-Cost (LTC) compares your loan amount to the total project cost (purchase price + rehab budget). Loan-to-Value (LTV) compares your loan to the current as-is value. ARV lending goes a step further — it calculates your loan as a percentage of the completed, renovated property value.

The Fix-and-Flip Loan Process

  • Step 1: Submit deal details — purchase price, rehab budget, ARV estimate, and exit strategy

  • Step 2: Receive a same-day or next-day term sheet with indicative rates and leverage

  • Step 3: Property appraisal or BPO ordered to confirm ARV

  • Step 4: Loan documents prepared and signed

  • Step 5: Close and fund — capital disbursed for acquisition

  • Step 6: Draw requests approved as renovation milestones are completed

  • Step 7: Sell the property, repay the loan, capture your profit
