Minimal Insurance Requirements

EquityMax doesn’t require our borrowers to have wind, flood, nor builder’s risk insurance in order to get a loan. Simply fire coverage is fine with us.

Why are Traditional Bank Loans Not the Best Option For Fix & Flip Investors?

Slow Process

Flipping a home is opportunistic in nature. So borrowers often need to accelerate the financing process in order to enable a quick purchase and better enable a positive return on their  investments. Traditional bank lending and even “soft money” generally have a long application and closing process that can be too time-consuming for investors.

Credit History

Traditional banks put a heavy emphasis on a borrower’s credit history and may dismiss their expertise in fix and flip investment opportunities.  There may often be a minimum credit score requirement as part of the traditional underwriting process.

Improvement Costs

Traditional lenders are hesitant to lend money toward the improvement costs of a fix and flip project.  Why?  To make sure borrowers always have sufficient leverage in the project, suitable to the lender.  We always handle this on a case-by-case basis.

What Type of Projects are Best For a Fix & Flip Loan?

Purchase

A borrower can purchase a property from a distressed seller at a deep discount and put it back on the market with some minor renovations. He/She can also flip it wholesale, quicker, at a more modest profit, to another real estate investor. EquityMax offers transactional funding for same-day, simultaneous closings.

Renovation

A borrower can purchase a house, typically older and in need of repairs, and renovate it to make it more appealing before eventually putting it on the market to sell. These can be simply “paint and carpet” job or renovating a home “down to the studs.”

New Construction

A borrower can purchase vacant land, or even a teardown where the cost would be more to renovate than to start from scratch. Building from the “ground up”, or buy a decaying single family home and replacing it with a newer, superior home are great options to make “highest and best use” from a property.
