Frequently Asked Questions
​
-
What is a Fix & Flip loan?
A Fix & Flip loan is a short-term (typically 12-month) loan designed to bridge the gap between when you buy a property and when you resell it for a profit. It can cover both the cost of the property and renovations (up to a predetermined Loan To Value limit).​
​
-
How does a Fix & Flip loan work?
Once approved for a Fix & Flip loan, you typically receive loan funds according to an agreed-upon draw schedule (while making interest-only payments). After the renovation is complete, you resell the property to repay the loan in full and keep the difference as profit or refinance to continue to grow your portfolio.​
​
-
What are the benefits of a hard money Fix & Flip loan?
Compared to traditional mortgages, hard money Fix & Flip loans offer faster and more flexible underwriting as lenders focus on the deal more than your personal creditworthiness. This lets you move fast, minimize upfront costs, and amplify your overall ROI.
​
-
Why do people use hard money loans rather than traditional loans?
While the interest rates on traditional loans are typically lower than hard money loans, the approval process is far more stringent and time-consuming. This can be a dealbreaker when you spot an opportunity for a fix and flip. In most cases, you need to move swiftly in order to capture the deal. That is why a hard money lender like Acorn Investment Capital can be so useful to investors. Effectively you get:
-
Flexible loan terms
-
Easy loan applications
-
Less stringent financial requirements
-
Speedy approval and closing
-
Fast proof of funds
