Rehab Loans or Fix n Flip Loans
Rehab loans or what some would call Renovation Loans have been around forever. TV shows “Flip It to Win It” and “Flip this House” with numerous other TV programs have recently made these types of loans more common and have more people asking “What is a Rehab Loan?”
Most conventional lenders will not finance a property that needs a substantial amount of work. Rehab (Rehabilitation) loans have filled some of the needs, especially to investor-type buyers with numerous bank-owned and distressed properties still flooding the market.
When thinking about Rehab (Rehabilitation) Loans, you need to understand that the general guidelines for Rehab Loans vary from lender to lender, but they all have a few general rules to keep in mind.
- You must have some of your own money in the deal; what we like to call “skin in the game.”
- Does your team have any experience Rehabbing property? You need reliable, experienced contractors.
- Is your construction budget realistic?
Keep in mind that most Rehab Lenders will look at your budget and factor in additional contingencies. Often we find that borrowers don’t budget adequately for labor because they are planning on doing the work themselves.
As an investor having a great relationship with a reliable Rehab Lender is a must. Liquidity is the name of the game in real estate and typically with most Rehab Lenders once you have a few deals under your belt with them the easier it is to obtain financing.
