The Lab Report: Key Takeaways
- Best For: Real estate investors and developers focused on rehabilitating properties for a quick resale.
- Key Benefit: Financing that covers both the purchase price and a significant portion of the renovation costs.
- The Lab Advantage: Our “Underwriting-First” scrub prioritizes the After Repair Value (ARV), allowing you to leverage the future worth of the property.
Who are Fix & Flip Loans for?
Fix & flip loans primarily serve entrepreneurs who specialize in identifying undervalued assets that require significant structural or cosmetic improvements. Specifically, this product suits seasoned developers who need to move quickly on foreclosure or auction properties without the delays of traditional banking. In addition, it is an excellent fit for newer investors who possess the vision for a renovation but lack the total liquid capital to fund both the buy and the build. While a standard mortgage requires the property to be in move-in condition, this program is designed for homes in need of repair. Therefore, if you are looking to revitalize a neighborhood while building equity, this program offers the tactical funding you need.
Not a perfect fit?
However, if you plan to keep the property as a long-term rental once the repairs are finished, you should explore our DSCR Loans instead.
