Fix & Flip Loan

What is Fix & Flip Loan?

A Fix & Flip loan is a short-term loan used by real estate investors to purchase properties at a low price, renovate them, and resell them within a short period for profit. These loans are primarily used by house flippers or investors, targeting distressed or auctioned properties that are difficult to purchase with traditional mortgages.

 

We don’t limit ourselves to a single program. Instead, we work with Loan Factory to compare over 70 different flip loan products and offer the most favorable terms to our clients. Loan Factory is one of the largest mortgage brokerages in the U.S., with over 18 years of experience and the highest loan volume nationwide each year.

 

If you need a flip loan, you can get pre-approved at no cost, and we will guide you thoroughly through every step of the process.
