Fix and Flip Loans, also known as Hard Money Loans, are short-term, asset-based, interest-only loans that rely more heavily on the investment than the investor. While the investor’s credit worthiness and liquidity are considered, the After Repair Value (ARV) of the investment property is the primary factor for the loan underwriters.
Fix and Flip loans provide more money for investment projects than conventional bank loans. A bank loan only funds a portion of the unrenovated value of the property whereas a Fix and Flip loan provides a portion of the ARV (see the comparison).
Depending on the investment property, our fix and flip loans are generally issued for 65-75% of the ARV and the funds are distributed as needed, according to the renovation schedule. The initial distribution of funds is for the purchase of the property. Then, as renovation milestones are reached, additional funds are distributed until the project is completed. The borrower only makes monthly interest payments for the term of the loan then pays back the loan when the renovations are complete and the property is sold or refinanced as a rental. We offer 6, 9, and 12-month loan terms. Some additional fees may apply.
