Capital Built for Acquisition, Renovation, and Resale
Fix & flip loans are designed for real estate investors who need short-term financing to purchase and renovate properties for resale. Unlike traditional bank loans, fix & flip financing is often focused on the property, the renovation plan, the borrower’s experience, and the projected after-repair value.
Whether you are buying a distressed property, completing a cosmetic renovation, or taking on a larger rehab project, Build Lending helps you structure the loan request and connect with lenders that understand investment property renovation financing.
Our goal is to help you move quickly, secure the right capital, and keep your project on track from acquisition through resale.

What matters most to Fix & Flip lenders
Purchase Price & ARV
Lenders evaluate the purchase price, current condition, renovation plan, and projected after-repair value.
Rehab Budget
A clear, realistic renovation budget helps lenders understand the project scope and required capital.
Borrower Experience
Prior fix & flip, construction, or real estate investing experience can improve lender confidence and available terms.
Property Condition
The current state of the property matters, especially if the project involves major repairs, structural issues, or deferred maintenance.
Timeline
Lenders want to understand how long the renovation and resale process is expected to take.
Exit Strategy
Most fix & flip loans are repaid through a sale or refinance, so lenders want to see a realistic path to repayment.

Common Questions
A fix & flip loan is short-term financing used by real estate investors to purchase and renovate a property before selling it for profit or refinancing into longer-term financing.
Yes. Many fix & flip loans include both acquisition financing and renovation funds. Rehab funds are often released through a draw process as work is completed.
Timing depends on the lender, borrower, property, appraisal requirements, title, and project complexity. In many cases, private fix & flip loans can close faster than traditional bank financing.
Experience helps, but some lenders will consider first-time flippers if the deal is strong, the borrower has sufficient equity, and the renovation plan is realistic.
Fix & flip loans are commonly used for single-family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and select multifamily properties.
Rehab funds are typically released through draws after work is completed and verified. The exact draw process depends on the lender.
Yes. Some borrowers refinance an existing fix & flip loan to complete renovations, extend the timeline, or transition the property into a rental hold.
