🔨 Bridge & Fix-and-Flip

Short-term money for short-term plays.

Bridge and fix-and-flip financing covers the phase your long-term lender can’t: the acquisition that needs to close fast, the rehab that adds the value, the gap before the property stabilizes and refinances into a DSCR loan. It’s the front half of the BRRRR playbook.

Is this you?

Bridge & Fix-and-Flip tend to be a great fit for…

  • Flippers buying, renovating, and reselling on a 6–18 month clock
  • BRRRR investors planning a DSCR refinance after stabilization
  • Buyers who need to move at cash-offer speed on a value-add property
Found a distressed duplex $60k under market. It needs $40k of work and the seller wants to close in three weeks.
That’s a bridge-loan sentence if I’ve ever heard one. Short-term financing gets you the keys and the rehab budget; once it’s renovated and rented, we roll it into a DSCR loan. Buy, fix, refi — the whole arc under one roof.

Questions investors actually ask

Bridge & Fix-and-Flip: straight answers

How is a fix-and-flip loan sized?

Typically as a percentage of the purchase price plus a rehab budget, checked against the after-repair value (ARV). Rehab funds are usually released in draws as work completes. Exact leverage varies widely by program and experience level.

Does my flipping experience matter?

Usually yes — completed projects generally unlock better leverage and pricing. First-timers still have options, often with slightly more conservative terms. Bring your track record, even if it’s short.

What’s the exit strategy conversation?

Every bridge loan is underwritten with the ending in mind: sell after the rehab, or refinance into long-term DSCR financing once it’s rented. We’ll pressure-test the exit math before you commit to the entrance.
