Fix And Flip Loans Seattle For New And Repeat Investors

By Amanda Long


If you are in search of a new business idea you may well have thought about property renovation. But unless you have the cash to invest in a house or houses, your business will never get off the ground. To start a renovation businesses you will need a large money injection, and one that you may not be able to achieve by remortgaging your existing home. What is needed here is a hard cash loan in the form of fix and flip loans Seattle based property investors have been using for years for their portfolios.

So what is a fix and flip loan and why should you consider taking one out for a Seattle property. A fixing and flipping loan is a short term hard cash loan. It is an amount lent to you over a short period of time, enough time to renovate and sell a property. So, unlike a mortgage you won't be tied in to making repayments for years to come. Owning more than one property can be tiresome as a landlord. So instead of buying to rent, buy, renovate, and sell.

If you are an astute investor, fixing up house and selling them is a perfect venture to explore. But if you are new to the game you will need to fund your business. Once you have bought renovated and sold a few properties youll need to borrow less money, or less with each time. For your first loan you can most likely borrow up to ninety percent of the property value.

There is a lot of cash to made in the renovating of houses, but only if your know how. There are big profits to be made. But you cannot rush into things and you must study the markets properly. If you see a house for sale that is extremely cheap then there is generally an underlying reason and this could prevent you from securing finance on it.

Fixing and flipping loans are generally available for up to ninety percent of the value of the home. When doing your calculations make sure that you take into consideration the amount of cash you will need for the renovation works. This can come from other sources such as a second mortgage or a short term loan from your bank.

So, you will need a large lump sum to get started. But this money will have to be paid back quickly. Flipping and fixing is for short term. Also make sure you read the small print and see what fees are involved and what the interest rates will be. Only when you work out how much you'll pay back will you be able to work out what your profit might be.

So, it's not just about finding a short term money lender. It about finding a property that will sell quickly. Every day that the house you bought sits empty and on the market you will accumulate interest on your loan.

So, research the local Seattle area you hope to invest in and check out the prices that houses are selling for. Also check out how long homes stay on the market to get a real feel for how your business venture will work. Selling at a lower price for a quicker sale really defeats the object of fix and flip. There are some perfect homes out there that are ready for renovation and resale. So start your search today.
