What Is a Fix & Flip Loan?

Turn a Run-Down Property Into a Profitable Resale.

Fix and flip loans — also called house flipping loans or hard money rehab loans — are short-term financing designed for real estate investors who buy, renovate, and resell properties for profit, typically within 6 to 18 months. A fix and flip loan is short-term financing that real estate investors use to buy and renovate a property in order to resell it for a profit, a process known as house flipping.

These loans can help you turn a run-down property into a profitable resale. But they come with higher costs, shorter terms, and more risk than traditional financing. Understanding how these loans work is key before jumping into a house-flipping project — and that's exactly where our team, and our lender network, guide you every step of the way.

How Approvals Work

Your Deal, Your Experience, and Your Credit — in Equal Thirds.

One of the most important factors in getting any commercial loan — and especially fix and flip, fix and hold, and rental purchase or refinance loans on 1 to 4 unit properties — is the investor's experience in this specific space. For these investment loans, lenders weigh the decision across three roughly equal parts:

⅓

Property Performance

The revenue, cash flow, and profit potential of the property being purchased, rehabbed, or refinanced.

⅓

Investor Experience

Your track record as a real estate investor. The more experience you have, the better the rate and terms you'll qualify for.

⅓

Borrower Credit

Your credit score — a strong deal and a solid track record can carry an imperfect score.

Because experience and the strength of the deal each carry as much weight as credit, an experienced investor with a strong project can qualify even if their FICO isn't perfect. That's the advantage of placing your deal through a network built for investors.

Experience Requirement

We are only able to help investors who can prove they have successfully applied for and received loans of this type for at least six properties over the past eighteen months. The more experience you have, the better the rates and terms you'll qualify for. If you don't yet meet this requirement, apply anyway — we'll kindly walk you through it, check whether another We Finance America program fits your situation, and keep you positioned for when you're ready. You'll always have a path forward with us.
