Frequently Asked Questions for Berkeley Fix & Flip Loans
What is a fix & flip loan and why is it ideal for Berkeley?
A fix & flip loan (often a type of hard money loan) is short-term, asset-based financing designed for investors purchasing distressed properties, renovating them, and selling for a profit. They are ideal for the fast-paced Berkeley market because they offer speed, flexibility, and focus on the After Repair Value (ARV) of the property, allowing you to quickly secure and fund rehab projects that banks often won't touch.
How fast can I get funded for a fix & flip property in Berkeley?
We understand that time is money in fix & flip. For qualified Berkeley projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is essential for outbidding competitors and starting your rehab project without delay.
What types of properties do you lend on for fix & flip in Berkeley?
We primarily lend on residential properties (single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties) that are in need of renovation. Our focus is on the property's potential ARV and the profitability of your rehab plan in Berkeley's specific sub-markets, rather than solely on the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Berkeley fix & flip properties?
To expedite the fix & flip process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the Berkeley real estate market. This allows us to assess project viability quickly and close faster than traditional lenders who require lengthy appraisals.
