Frequently Asked Questions from Los Angeles Fix & Flip Clients
What is a fix & flip loan and why is it ideal for the LA market?
A fix & flip loan is a short-term, asset-based loan specifically designed for purchasing, renovating, and quickly reselling a property for profit. They are ideal for the fast-paced Los Angeles market because they offer rapid funding, focus on the property's after-repair value (ARV), and provide the flexibility traditional banks lack, allowing investors to seize time-sensitive opportunities.
How fast can I get funded for a fix & flip project in Los Angeles?
We pride ourselves on efficiency, understanding that speed is crucial in LA's competitive market. For qualified Los Angeles fix & flip projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This allows you to outbid others and start your renovation sooner.
What types of residential properties do you lend on for flips in LA?
We primarily lend on residential investment properties in Los Angeles, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-family properties up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's potential profitability after renovation, rather than just the borrower's credit history.
How does the ARV (After Repair Value) factor into my LA fix & flip loan?
The After Repair Value (ARV) is a critical component of our fix & flip loan underwriting. It represents the estimated market value of your Los Angeles property after all planned renovations are complete. We typically lend up to 70-75% of the ARV, ensuring there's enough equity cushion for a successful flip while providing significant capital for your project.
Do you provide renovation draws for my LA fix & flip project?
Yes, our fix & flip loans are structured to support your renovation process. We provide construction draws based on the progress of your project. As you complete phases of the renovation, we inspect the work and release funds, ensuring you have the capital you need to keep your Los Angeles flip on schedule and budget.
