Homeowners traditionally take on long-term mortgages, but many property investors aren’t in it for the long haul. LendSure’s Fix & Flip Home Financing Program is designed for real estate investors who are looking to leverage the purchase and construction of a property.

It’s a short-term loan, so our Fix & Flip solutions are created for investors who intend to exit with the sale of the property, or to refinance into a long-term rental DSCR loan.

With U.S. home values on a record run, there’s no shortage of interest in Fix & Flip  project opportunities. According to Attom Data Solutions’ first-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Flipping Report, 114,706 single-family houses and condominiums nationwide were flipped in the first quarter. Those transactions represented nearly 10% of all home sales in the first quarter of 2022, the highest level since at least 2000. The latest level was up from 6.9% during the fourth quarter of 2021, and from 4.9% in the first quarter of 2021.

With home flipping on the rise, borrowers are looking for an out-of-the-box solution for their unique needs. LendSure’s Fix & Flip program offers up to 85% of the purchase price, and up to 100% of the construction cost on some loans. The total loan amount is up to 85% of the total cost. Just to be clear, the program does not necessarily offer 85% and 100% of the construction cost on every transaction.

Here’s a common scenario: Say an investor pays $200,000 for a property and expects to spend $100,000 on renovations. LendSure would loan up to 85% of the acquisition costs, or $170,000, and up to 85% of the renovation costs, or up to $85,000. This quick video runs through the numbers.

We aim to make a decision on the Fix & Flip term sheet within hours, not days. We work with clients with a credit score as low as 660, and our interest rates are competitive. We primarily service single-family and multifamily properties, but LendSure also considers mixed-use properties, on an exception basis.

While LendSure’s Fix & Flip loans are available to novice investors, the terms do fluctuate with the experience of the investor. A very experienced investor – one with a long track record of fix and flip – tends to qualify for higher loan-to-value ratios and lower loan rates.

The LendSure Way

It’s simple. We make loans that make sense. We’re not in-the-box lenders. Of course, there are numbers and ratios and data to consider, but we know that behind every file, there’s an individual with a unique circumstance seeking a loan.  We work hard to offer our common-sense take on lending to borrowers seeking funding for the home of their dreams, another addition to their investment property portfolio or refinancing of a currently-owned property.
