What you Need to Know About Fix-and-Flip Loans in Arizona

Fix-and-Flip Loans in Arizona allow for the purchase of a property, improvement of the property through renovation and construction, and then selling it for a profit. It can be a profitable business model if you enter into the investment knowing the many details required for success.

The first step is finding the right property, in the right market and neighborhood. Often investors in this type of real estate will find properties at auctions as a result of a foreclosure or a short sale by a bank. The purchaser may try and sell the property “as-is” or try and improve the property and sell it. Renovating a property comes in many shades from renovating a home, major construction, or simply fixing up the cosmetics.

There are many facets to consider in order to be successful with the fix and flip investment model. It’s important to be knowledgeable about the market in order to secure a property at the right price. You must be able to secure comps of the neighborhood homes. Then, as a Construction Manager, you must assemble a team of sub-contractors that you can manage to execute the improvements on the property. Finally, you must secure a loan from a bank or hard money lender. Because of the paperwork involved as well as the time it takes to fund, a bank may not be the best way to secure a loan.

Examples of when a Hard Money Loan in Arizona is the better choice include the following:

1. The purchaser is obtaining a highly sought after distressed property. Financing is needed right away in order to beat the competition, and the lengthy bank application process may take too long.

2. Traditional banks require your credit score to be examined carefully. If yours is less than stellar, a Hard Money Loan in Arizona will get your foot in the door of the fix-and-flip world.

3. The bank may be reluctant to lend money on a fix-and-flip model.

Bridge loans are a type of loan that fix-and-flip investors often turn to. Bridge loans are secured by the property and are short term in nature. If you have a need for timely capital for an investment that is fairly quick to completion, bridge loans may fill this need.
