How fix and flip financing is structured

Most fix and flip loans fund the purchase up front and release rehab money in draws as work is completed and inspected. That structure keeps your cash in the deal rather than sitting in a construction budget, but it means your draw schedule and your contractor's pace are genuinely part of the underwriting conversation.

Common questions

How do rehab draws work?

You fund a stage of work, request a draw, the lender inspects, and the money is released. Budget for the gap — you are usually out of pocket between completing work and receiving the draw.

Do I need flipping experience?

Not always, but it affects terms. Experienced investors generally see better leverage and pricing. Newer investors are placeable; expect more scrutiny on the budget and the contractor.

What happens if the project runs long?

Extensions are usually available and usually cost something. Tell us your realistic timeline rather than your optimistic one — building the extension in up front is cheaper than negotiating it later.

Is ARV or purchase price used for leverage?

It varies by lender. Some cap on purchase price plus rehab, others on after-repair value. That distinction changes how much cash you bring, so it is worth pinning down early.

What if I want to keep the property instead of selling?

Then you will need an exit into long-term financing. See DSCR loans, which is how most investors refinance a completed flip into a rental hold.
