A fix-and-flip loan is a short-term bridge loan designed specifically for real estate investors who purchase distressed or undervalued properties, renovate them, and sell for a profit. Unlike conventional mortgages, fix-and-flip loans close quickly, carry interest-only payments during the renovation period, and are underwritten primarily on the property’s potential value — not the borrower’s personal income.
The NextRes fix-and-flip product covers both the acquisition cost and the renovation budget in a single loan. This means you don’t need to bring separate financing for the construction phase — we fund it all. Renovation funds are held in a disbursement account and released in draws as work is completed and verified, ensuring you never have to front large sums out of pocket.
Loan terms run 12 to 24 months, giving you flexibility for complex projects. During the loan term, you make interest-only payments on the outstanding balance — including any renovation draws that have been disbursed. When the property sells, the loan is paid off at closing. For investors who prefer to refinance into a long-term rental loan after the renovation, our DSCR rental product offers a seamless transition.
