Requirements

Every investor program we offer.

Private lenders set their own terms, and they change with the market and the deal. These are typical ranges for the programs we arrange.

Fix and flipPays for the purchase and the renovation. Typically up to 85% to 90% of the price and up to 100% of renovation costs, with the total loan capped at about 70% to 75% of the after-repair value (what it's worth once fixed). Renovation money is paid out in stages as work is finished.
BridgeShort-term financing to buy before you sell, close quickly, or fix up and rent a property before long-term financing.
Ground-up constructionFinancing for new construction of single family homes and small apartment buildings, including land and building costs paid out in stages.
Rental portfolio & blanketOne loan across several rental properties, to buy, refinance or take cash out. Long-term rentals can also go to DSCR loans.
How you qualifyMostly on the deal: the price, the renovation budget, the after-repair value and your plan to sell or refinance. Experience gets you better terms. First-time flippers are considered.
Costs and termsUsually 6 to 24 months, interest-only. Lenders charge an interest rate plus points, an upfront fee where each point is 1% of the loan. Extensions are often available.
Property types1 to 4 unit homes, condos and townhomes, small apartment buildings and mixed-use, depending on the program. Larger commercial deals too.

Questions

Hard money questions we hear every week.

What is hard money?

Short-term financing from private lenders who focus on the property and your plan more than your income. It costs more than a regular mortgage but closes faster and funds deals banks won't.

How fast can you close?

Often in days rather than weeks once the appraisal, title and your LLC documents are ready.

Do I need flipping experience?

No, but experience gets you more financing and better pricing. First-time investors usually bring more cash to closing or partner with an experienced investor.

How does renovation money get paid out?

The lender holds the renovation budget and releases it in stages, called draws, after an inspector confirms each stage of work is done.

Can I close in an LLC?

Yes. Most investor loans close in an LLC, usually with a personal guarantee, meaning you're personally responsible if the LLC can't pay.

How do I pay it off?

Sell the property, or refinance into a long-term DSCR loan once it's rented. We plan the exit before you close.
