Recently Funded Fix and Flip Loans

Recently Funded Money Loans

Naples, FL

We made a Florida hard money loan to a client who purchased a three-bedroom, three-bathroom condo in a sought after building in Naples, Florida.  Our client’s strategy was to generate returns by using the property for seasonal and short-term Airbnb rentals, which would generate higher ROIs vs. an annual lease.  We provided a hard money loan of 71.8% of the purchase price, and our client self-funded light rehab, mostly cosmetic in nature.  Our client repaid our loan with a paydown generated from the sale of another property.  At the time of paydown, the property experienced appreciation of nearly $63k.

New York, NY

This New York hard money loan was made to a client who owned an existing building in Manhattan.  The building consists of six full floor condominiums, and our loan was collateralized by one of the units.  At the time of our loan, there was no existing debt on the building.  Our loan consisted of two parts: $1.1m at closing for general renovation and upgrading of the building (including replacing the elevator) and $200k specifically used to rehab the subject property.  After the extensive upgrades were completed, the unit was put on the market and sold for $4.6m, an increase of $650k from the original appraisal.  Our loan was paid off with a portion of the proceeds from the sale.

Miami, FL

Our client utilized a hard money loan in Miami, Florida to fix and flip this property in Surfside.  We funded 72.5% of the purchase price, and 100% of the $110,000 rehab budget.  Our client spent approximately 5 months renovating the house, and thereafter, the property sold within a week of being on the market.  The closing took place approximately a month later, and although the loan was only outstanding for 6 months, there was no prepayment penalty assessed.  Our loan was paid back with a portion of the proceeds from the sale, netting our client north of $200k after accounting for all holding and closing costs.

Why Use a Fix and Flip Loan

  1. 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 12 days. In urgent cases, we can even provide funding within 24 hours.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

West Forest Capital is a leading provider of fix-and-flip loans, specializing in asset-based lending that considers the property’s value instead of your credit score. We differentiate ourselves from traditional banks by providing swift and reliable funding to investors, with approvals and fund disbursement taking only a few days. Our effective system is ideal for properties that require upgrades or lack a Certificate of Occupancy.
It’s easy to secure a fix-and-flip loan from West Forest Capital. Our interest rates fall between 9% and 12%, in addition to closing costs. We usually fund up to 85% of the property’s purchase price and renovation costs, disbursing funds in increments as the project develops. These short-term loans guarantee that the total financed amount stays below 65% of the property’s after-repair value (ARV).
We are a private money lender focused on providing loans primarily to LLCs rather than individuals. To make sure our investments are secure, we assess the purchase price and the after-repair value (ARV). Key factors we consider include buying properties at or below market value, adhering to a defined renovation timeline, and obtaining a clear title. Our goal is to enhance your investment’s profitability and ensure successful loan repayment.
West Forest Capital’s fix-and-flip loans are designed for real estate investors in situations where traditional banks may be reluctant to lend. These loans offer the speed and flexibility needed for buying and renovating properties for resale or rental, as well as for quick auction purchases. They are also suitable for cash-out refinancing, refinancing existing mortgages, and acquiring properties under an LLC—services that conventional banks often do not provide.
Before applying for a fix-and-flip loan, it’s crucial to assess the property’s profit potential and develop a solid renovation plan. As your private lender, West Forest Capital will evaluate the feasibility and profitability of your project. It’s important to understand the loan terms and ensure they align with your project’s timeline and budget to make the most of financing from flip lenders.
After you receive approval, West Forest Capital stands out for its rapid funding process. Typically, funds for your fix-and-flip project are quickly available, allowing you to purchase and renovate your property without delays.
