Your deal fits what we fund

40% equity · within our size and term range. If the documents line up, we can close fast.

Rates 9%–24% depend on amount, structure, valuation, borrower, timing and due date. Your quote follows review — not a commitment to lend.

What we look at

How we underwrite fix & flip.

  • Purchase price, rehab budget and after-repair value (ARV) with comps
  • Your scope of work and contractor plan
  • Experience — first-timers welcome, pricing improves with a track record
  • Exit: sale or refinance into a rental loan

Typical deals

Where this loan fits.

  • A distressed single-family or duplex purchase that needs a two-week close
  • Renovating a rental you already own before refinancing
  • A light-commercial or small multifamily value-add
  • A finished flip that needs a bridge while it sells
