Frequently Asked Questions from Chicago Fix & Flip Investors
What is a fix & flip loan and why is it ideal for Chicago?
A fix & flip loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed specifically for investors purchasing properties with the intent to renovate and resell them quickly for profit. It's ideal for the Chicago market because it provides the rapid funding needed to acquire undervalued residential properties, cover renovation costs, and react to market opportunities faster than traditional bank financing allows.
How fast can I get funded for a fix & flip property in Chicago?
We prioritize speed for our Chicago fix & flip clients. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This efficiency ensures you don't miss out on prime investment opportunities across the Chicagoland area.
What types of residential properties do you lend on for fix & flip in Chicago?
We focus exclusively on residential investment properties in Chicago. This includes single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family residences, and small multi-unit apartment buildings (up to 20 units). Our lending decisions are based on the property's after-repair value (ARV) and the project's profitability potential.
Do you require an appraisal for Chicago fix & flip properties?
To expedite the process and align with the fast-paced nature of fix & flip investing, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations. These are based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the Chicago residential real estate market, allowing us to close faster than if we waited for a full, traditional appraisal.
