Fix and Flip Loans for Real Estate Investors

Fast, flexible financing for purchase and rehab projects nationwide with quick approvals and investor-friendly terms.

A fix and flip loan is a short-term real estate investment loan designed to help investors purchase, renovate, and quickly resell a property for profit. These loans are built specifically for property flippers who need fast access to capital and flexible underwriting.

Unlike traditional mortgages, fix and flip loans focus primarily on the value of the property — especially its After Repair Value (ARV) — rather than solely on borrower income.

IIf an investor decides to keep the property as a rental instead of selling, the short-term loan must typically be refinanced into a long-term rental loan. This strategy is commonly used in the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat).

What Can a Fix and Flip Loan Be Used For?

Property Acquisition

Most fix and flip loans finance distressed or undervalued properties, including:

  • Homes in poor condition

  • Outdated properties

  • Foreclosures

  • Auction purchases

  • Off-market deals

Because these opportunities move quickly, speed of funding is critical — especially for auction buyers.

Renovation Costs

Loan proceeds can cover renovations ranging from light cosmetic updates to major structural repairs, including:

  • Interior and exterior upgrades

  • Roof replacement

  • Foundation repairs

  • Plumbing and electrical updates

  • Layout reconfiguration

  • Landscaping and curb appeal improvements

Key Features of Fix and Flip Loans

Short-Term Financing

Most fix and flip loans have terms ranging from 6 to 36 months, with 12 months being most common. These loans are designed for quick project turnaround.

Asset-Based Lending

Approval is primarily based on the property’s value — particularly the projected After Repair Value (ARV) — rather than strictly on tax returns or traditional income verification.

Loan-to-Value (LTV) on Purchase

Lenders may finance up to 80–90% of the purchase price, depending on the deal and borrower experience.

Investor experience within the past three years can significantly impact terms
