Fix & Flip Questions
A fix and flip loan is a short term mortgage for you to purchase and renovate your property. The fix and flip loan provides the capital to acquire the property and also complete the repairs to help improve the property value. If the project was bought well and the numbers from the rehab budget and ARV were accurate once you are ready to put it back on the market and sell it at a higher price there should be enough money to pay off your mortgage, all of your costs incurred during the project, and should leave for a nice profit left after all expenses have been repaid.
Once the property has been renovated and work is complete if you determine that the best course of action is to hold onto the property and not sell it keeping it as a long term cashflow and appreciation strategy you can refinance out of the fix and flip loan and get a long-term loan through traditional or private lenders.
As work is completed in your fix and flip and you are ready to draw from your construction line of credit you simply complete our draw request that outlines the items of the initial budget that was approved prior to closing that you are looking to get reimbursed for. Once the request has been submitted and processed a draw inspection would be ordered and scheduled between the inspector and investor to verify the work that was submitted for reimbursement was completed. Once the inspection report is received, reviewed, and approved you would be notified and the money would be wired via ACH to your bank account that provided and on file. For a fix and flip loan the investor can use as many or as little draws as needed during the project and based on the cashflow of the investor.
As work is completed in your fix and flip and you are ready to draw from your There are many different strategies that can be executed with the fix and flip program. With each investment property and scenario being unique the strategy deployed will be dependent on the overall exit strategy of the investor on that given deal and sometimes multiple exit strategies can apply. Some investors will do very minimal work and put the property back on the market with little to no risk from construction and look to make a quick profit from the trade. Other properties may benefit from force appreciation and adding square footage whether vertical or horizontal can quickly increase the value of the home. Each project will depend on the investor’s preference and also evaluating the condition of the property along with an understanding on that local market.

New Construction Questions

This product can be utilized in a wide range of areas from deep urban to suburban, and provide a new way to approach your next successful investment. To obtain this loan investors typically require previous new construction experience, or a recent history of completed fix and flips. Property types range from single to four family on the residential side, commercial mixed-use, and commercial multifamily. The loan term is generally (12) months with the opportunity to extend further.
Like fix and flips, new construction offers the investor an excellent way to realize a great profit. Once work is completed, investors have the opportunity to either sell the property or refinance the property using the BRRRR Method. Depending on the timeline to build, the property’s ability to generate monthly cash flow, and the growth in the area of investment, selling and refinancing are both viable options. While it is best to approach a deal knowing your end goal and having a strategy for success in mind, PPS will always provide our best options to assist as your priorities shift.
i. The Unknown Elements
The first time you enter a home that is primed for a flip, you may walk out with a feeling that this project will be a simple “in and out”. After starting construction and peeling back layer upon layer, you find out that this is starting to seem like a bigger project than originally thought. When building new construction, those worries are thrown out the door as you have complete control over foundation, structure, layout, appliances, and anything else you wish to customize. The unknown is not a factor
ii. Maintenance Costs
For the investor that prefers to hold properties as rentals in their portfolio, maintenance can be a large factor in long term profitability. When holding a new construction property, investors can count on key elements including but not limited to the foundation, roof, flooring, and hot water heater to hold up over the initial span of ownership. This in turn limits monthly and annual expenses, helping you realize a larger ROI (return on investment).
iii. Increased Supply
In times of high real estate demand for investors and end buyers, finding properties are always a challenge. Utilizing this program, investors will be able to broaden their horizons. No longer limiting themselves to typical real estate listings, empty plots of land and homes that require demolition now add to the ever-growing list of opportunities.
