The residential or commercial property is the collateral in a Real Estate Fix and Flip Loan. Once a real estate flipper has isolated the property they want to secure, then the lender finances up to 90% of the cost to purchase the property and up to 100% the improvements or remodeling.

As long as the property purchase price and rehab cost have to be below 75% of the current market value of comparable properties in the area, the process can continue to move forward. Plus, the buyer(s) must be able to cover the balance of 10% of the purchase price and 10% rehab cost of the property.

The average Real Estate Fix and Flip Loan have a term of one year with a longer durations up to 36 mos are also available. Once approved, a borrower receives the loan for the home purchase and the first set of renovations. As stages of the property are cleared, the borrower can turn to the lender to release additional capital. For instance, after the contractor completes the initial property improvements, the borrower can drawdown additional money for the next round of renovations, and so on

From this point on the ultimate goal is for the Investor to sell or rent the property under the following three conditions:

  • Minimize the facelift and renovation expenditure as much as possible
  • Maximize the market value of the property
  • Retain the property for the shortest possible time

Once the rehab is complete, and the value of the property increased, the property has two options to close out the Real Estate Fix and Flip Loan from the property, depending on their goals.

If the goal is to sell the property, then the loan will be paid off in the closing of the sale. If the goal is to keep the property, then the borrower must be able to refinance the Rehab loan with conventional financing that they can hold for years to come.
