Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about loan programs, qualifications, timelines, and more.
→ States Served
Which states do you lend in?
We lend nationwide across 40+ states for active real estate investors. We can fund properties in most states, including California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, New York, Illinois, and many others. To confirm coverage in your specific state, tell us where your property is located and we’ll verify availability for your loan program.
Can you lend on properties outside the US?
Currently, we focus on investment properties within the United States. Reach out if you have questions about a specific property or location.
→ Basic Qualifications
What are the basic requirements to qualify for a loan?
Requirements vary by loan program, but generally we look at:
The property: After-Repair Value (ARV), condition, location, and exit strategy.
Your experience: Real estate investing experience (we work with first-time flippers too).
Credit: We review credit, but the property drives the decision — not your tax returns or W-2s.
Do I need proof of funds or liquidity?
Most programs don’t require proof of funds or strong personal liquidity. We’re asset-based lenders — the property and deal strength drive the decision. For some programs, we may ask for a down payment or closing costs, which typically run 10% of the purchase price plus closing costs on Fix & Flip loans. Talk to us about your specific situation.
Do I need to be a licensed real estate agent?
No. You can be any type of real estate investor — licensed, unlicensed, first-time, or experienced. We lend to real estate investors of all types.
→ Credit and Financial
What credit score do I need?
Credit is reviewed, but it’s not the deciding factor. These are asset-based loans, so the property and the deal drive the decision. If you have lower credit but a strong deal, reach out. We’ll give you a straight answer about your scenario — no judgment, no surprises.
Do you require tax returns or W-2s?
Not for most programs. Fix & Flip, DSCR, and Bridge loans are asset-based — we don’t ask for tax returns or W-2s on most files. Commercial loans may ask for property financials (NOI statements). The property and the numbers matter; your personal income documentation doesn’t.
What if I have bad credit or a recent bankruptcy?
We’ve worked with investors who have challenged credit histories. The deal and the property are what matter most. If you’re worried about your credit, schedule a call and we’ll talk through it. We can also connect you with trusted professionals for credit improvement if that helps strengthen your financing readiness.
Do you do a hard credit pull?
Our initial estimate doesn’t require a credit pull. Once you move forward with a formal application, we’ll pull credit as part of underwriting — but by then you’ll already have a term sheet and clear terms.
→ Timelines and Process
How fast can you close?
Term sheets in 24 hours. Closings in 7–10 days.
This is the whole point. We move fast so you can move fast. Bridge loans can close in as little as 5–7 days. Exact timelines depend on your program, documentation readiness, and property complexity. The better prepared you are, the faster we can move.
What's your underwriting process?
Four simple steps:
1. Submit your deal — send the property, price, rehab budget, and ARV.
2. Get your term sheet — indicative terms within 24 hours with straight answers.
3. Appraisal and light docs — we review the asset and set the draw schedule.
4. Close and fund — close in 7–10 days and access your funds.
No surprises, no hidden steps. Direct access to decision-makers throughout.
How long does the appraisal take?
Appraisals typically take 3–7 days, depending on property type and location. We push our appraisers to move fast. Schedule your appraisal early and you won’t hit delays.
→ Loan Details
What's the difference between Fix & Flip and DSCR?
Fix & Flip: Short-term (12–18 months), interest-only, for buy-renovate-sell investors. Underwritten on ARV, not your income.
DSCR: Long-term (30 years), for rental properties. Underwritten on whether the rent covers the payment (DSCR = Debt Service Coverage Ratio). No income docs required.
Bottom line: Flip is for quick projects. DSCR is for holding rentals long-term.Term sheets in 24 hours. Closings in 7–10 days.
This is the whole point. We move fast so you can move fast. Bridge loans can close in as little as 5–7 days. Exact timelines depend on your program, documentation readiness, and property complexity. The better prepared you are, the faster we can move.
Can I refinance a Fix & Flip into a DSCR loan?
How do rehab draws work?
On Fix & Flip loans, rehab funds are held and released in draws as work is completed.
Here’s how it works:
1. You request a draw as work progresses.
2. We run a quick inspection.
3. Funds are reimbursed fast — so your project keeps moving.
We keep the process simple and fast. You won’t wait weeks for draws.
What loan amounts do you offer?
It varies by program:
• Fix & Flip: $75K–$3M+
• DSCR: $75K–$2M+
• Bridge: $100K–$5M+
• Ground-Up: $150K–$5M+
• Commercial: $250K–$25M+
Tell us about your deal and we’ll confirm what works for your situation.
