Common Borrower Questions

What is after-repair value (ARV)?

ARV is the estimated value of the property after the planned renovation is complete. Lenders use ARV to cap total financing, typically at 75% of ARV for fix & flip programs.

Do I need a contractor?

A licensed contractor is preferred for substantial renovations. You can self-manage cosmetic work. We review the renovation budget and scope during underwriting.

Can a first-time investor qualify?

Yes. New investors can qualify with a strong property, realistic renovation budget, and clear exit strategy. Experience is considered but not required.

What are the maximum financing limits?

Up to 85% of purchase price and 100% of approved rehab costs, capped at 75% of ARV. These are program guidelines, not guaranteed amounts — actual terms depend on underwriting.
