Our client has been accumulating several homes and lots on the same block for the last several years with the plan to construct a large 50-unit multi-family building on the combined lots. A Connecticut hard money loan in Bloomfield was used to acquire this home, the 8th and final property.
After the acquisition, our client has been working with the town to obtain permits, and with an architect to create plans for the proposed conversion. Our client will next secure a permanent construction loan to move forward with the project.

Our client needed a fast Connecticut hard money loan in New Britain to close on a contact which had been in place for several months. This is a strong cashflow mixed-use property which contains two commercial units on the ground floor and four apartments on the second floor; the property needed only light rehab, which we also funded 100%.
Given the time sensitive nature of this loan, we were able to close in under 1 week after getting the call, including the time needed to get an appraisal. Our client is currently in discussions for a permanent rental loan refinancing, a service which we are also able to offer.
East Hampton, CT
- Location: East Hampton, CT
- Purchase Price: $100,000
- Rehab Budget: $50,000

Loan Amount: $50,000 at Closing
+ $50,000 Rehab = $100,000 - ARV: $275,000

- Equity Created: $125,000
- Investor Return on Capital: 150%
Our client was able to secure a purchase contact significantly under market value. In addition, because our client wanted to minimize the interest rate on this Connecticut hard money, they elected to only borrow 50% of the purchase price. Although our minimum loan amount is usually $100,000, in this case we were comfortable releasing the rehab very quickly due to the value in the property.
Our client used the rehab funds to quickly finish the rehab and put the property up for sale only 3 months later, paying off the loan a month thereafter. A month after that our client became a repeat borrower, taking out another hard money loan with us.
Why Use a Fix and Flip Loan
- If You Need Rapid Funding: Unlike traditional banks that may take months to process your loan application, West Forest Capital offers same-day approval for fix and flip loans, with funding available in just 3-5 days. In urgent cases, we can even provide funding within 24 hours.
- Because the Property Requires Renovation: Traditional banks often shy away from financing properties that need rehab, lack a Certificate of Occupancy (CO), or have other issues. West Forest Capital specializes in funding fix and flip loans for properties that do not meet standard banking criteria.
- If You Have Less-Than-Perfect Credit: At West Forest Capital, we understand that situations come up in life that might impact credit. That’s why we focus on the property’s value rather than your credit score when underwriting the loan.
- It’s Investment Real Estate: Typically, banks require loans to be made to individuals. But you are purchasing the fix and flip as an investment and it should be treated as such by being in an LLC. This way, you get all of the benefits of owning an LLC, and the loan is structured as a business-purpose loan to your LLC.
