Fix & Flip/ Fix to Rent
A fix and flip loan is a short-term real estate loan used to purchase and renovate a property that will be resold for profit.
​
Unlike traditional mortgages, these loans are structured around the value of the property and the strength of the investment project rather than solely the borrower’s income.
​
This makes them an ideal solution for real estate investors who focus on acquiring undervalued properties, renovating them, and selling them after improvements are completed.
