Fix & Flip / Fix & Hold

High-leverage, quick-close capital for acquisitions, renovations, and resale strategies.

Who Its Best For?

  • Real estate investors acquiring properties to renovate and sell for profit.
  • Buyers looking to purchase undervalued properties, improve them, and refinance into long-term financing.
  • Investors who want flexible, fast capital without bank-style underwriting.
  • First-time investors building a track record or experienced operators scaling volume.

What is a fix and flip loan?

Fix & Flip and Fix & Hold loans provide short-term financing to purchase, improve, and reposition investment properties. They allow investors to act quickly on distressed or undervalued assets, complete renovations, and either sell for profit or refinance into a longer-term loan for cash flow.

These loans are asset-based and focus on the property’s potential, not just the borrower’s financials. They often fund a large percentage of the purchase price and renovation budget, helping investors preserve capital for future deals.

Why It Matters

In competitive markets, speed and certainty matter more than anything. Traditional banks avoid distressed properties or lengthy rehab projects, leaving investors without financing options. Our solution fills that gap, making it possible to close quickly, execute a value-add strategy, and maximize returns. The benefits include:

  • Fast closings so you can act before competitors
  • High leverage and funding for both acquisition and improvement
  • Flexible structures tailored to your exit plan
  • Streamlined underwriting focused on property potential
