Frequently Asked Questions from San Juan County Clients
What is a fix and flip loan and why is it ideal for San Juan County WA?
A fix and flip loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed for investors to purchase a property, renovate it, and quickly sell it for a profit. It's ideal for San Juan County because it offers the speed and flexibility needed to capitalize on unique island properties, address deferred maintenance, or enhance a property's appeal for the strong local and tourist buyer markets, bypassing the slower traditional bank financing process.
How fast can I get funded for a fix and flip property in San Juan County?
We understand the urgency of island investing. For qualified San Juan County residential projects (1-4 units, small multi-family), we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-12 business days. This speed is critical for securing competitive deals and quickly initiating your renovation projects despite logistical challenges.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in San Juan County?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across San Juan Island, Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and other areas in the county. This includes single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), waterfront properties, and properties with strong potential as vacation rentals. Our focus is on the asset's after-repair value and the project's profitability.
Do you require an appraisal for San Juan County properties?
To expedite the process, especially considering the unique nature of island properties, 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 San Juan County real estate market. This approach helps us provide faster funding without waiting for a full, traditional appraisal.
