Fix & flip loans are short-term financing options designed for real estate investors purchasing properties to renovate and resell for a profit.
Fix & flip loan eligibility, leverage, renovation budgets, borrower experience, property condition, and exit strategy requirements vary by lender and project.
Property & Project Review
The lender reviews the purchase price, renovation scope, budget, property condition, and projected after-repair value to evaluate the project.
Loan Approval & Closing
Once the borrower, property, renovation plan, and financing structure are approved, the fix & flip loan can move to closing.
Renovation Funds & Draws
Renovation funds may be released in stages as work is completed and verified, depending on the lender’s draw process and project requirements.
Sale or Refinance Exit
The loan is typically repaid when the renovated property is sold or refinanced into longer-term financing, depending on the investor’s strategy.
Down Payment & Equity
Fix & flip programs typically require the investor to contribute funds toward the purchase and project, with leverage based on the property, borrower profile, and lender guidelines.
Renovation Budget
The lender typically reviews the scope of work, contractor estimates, renovation costs, and contingency funds to confirm the project budget is realistic.
Experience & Borrower Profile
The lender may review your credit, liquidity, reserves, prior real estate experience, and overall ability to complete the project successfully.
Property & Exit Strategy
The property, projected after-repair value, renovation plan, and expected sale or refinance strategy must meet the lender’s program guidelines.
