Fix & Flip Lenders
Fix and flip loans finance both the purchase and the renovation of a property in a single facility, with rehab funds held back and released through draws as work completes. Lenders size these loans against after-repair value (ARV) — commonly up to 70–75% of ARV — with 12–18 month terms designed to carry the project from acquisition through sale.
For flippers, the loan’s headline rate matters far less than two operational realities: how fast the lender funds draws, and what happens when a project needs more time. A lender that takes three weeks to inspect and release each draw will silently destroy a project’s timeline and profit. Extension fees, draw fees, and inspection costs stack up in ways no rate sheet reveals. And when a flip runs long, lenders differ enormously in whether they work with the borrower or move straight to default penalties.
LendLedger’s fix and flip directory surfaces exactly this operational track record. Each lender profile shows curator-verified status, borrower ratings and review counts, ARV and leverage limits, rate and point ranges, and explicit fee flags for draw fees and extension fees. Reviews from operators who have completed projects with the lender describe draw turnaround times, inspection friction, and how the lender behaved when timelines slipped — the exact information that separates a profitable flip from a break-even one.

Frequently asked questions
How do fix and flip loans work?
A fix and flip loan funds the purchase plus a rehab budget in one loan, sized against the property’s after-repair value (ARV). Rehab funds sit in a holdback and are released in draws as renovation milestones are completed and inspected.
What does draw speed mean and why does it matter?
Draw speed is how quickly a lender inspects completed work and releases the next tranche of rehab funds. Slow draws stall contractors and extend holding costs. LendLedger reviews specifically capture borrowers’ real draw-turnaround experiences with each lender.
Can a first-time flipper get a fix and flip loan?
Yes — many lenders fund first-timers at lower leverage (often 65–70% ARV) and slightly higher pricing, while others require 3+ completed projects. Profiles in this directory indicate each lender’s first-timer policy and minimum deal requirements.
What fees should I expect beyond interest and points?
Common extras include draw/inspection fees per release, extension fees if the project runs past term, and sometimes prepayment minimums. LendLedger profiles carry review-sourced flags for extension fees, draw fees, and prepay penalties so these costs are visible upfront.
