Florida Fix-and-Flip Loan FAQ

What is a fix-and-flip loan in Florida?+
A fix-and-flip loan in Florida is a short-term financing option designed for real estate investors who purchase distressed or undervalued properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. These loans typically cover up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovation costs, with terms ranging from 6 to 24 months. The loan is repaid when the property is sold after renovations are complete.
What are fix-and-flip loan rates in Florida?+
Fix-and-flip loan rates in Florida typically range from 8.5% to 13%, depending on factors like your experience level, credit score, the property's after-repair value (ARV), and the loan-to-value ratio. Rates can vary significantly between lenders, which is why working with a broker like Sinai Capital who shops your deal to 50+ lenders helps you find the most competitive rate for your Florida flip.
How much can I borrow for a fix-and-flip in Florida?+
Fix-and-flip loans in Florida typically range from $75,000 to $5,000,000. Most lenders will fund up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs, as long as the total loan amount does not exceed 70-75% of the property's after-repair value (ARV). Your borrowing power depends on the deal itself, your experience, and your credit profile.
What is ARV and why does it matter for Florida flips?+
ARV stands for After-Repair Value - the estimated market value of the property after all renovations are complete. ARV is the most important metric in fix-and-flip lending because lenders use it to determine how much they will lend. In Florida, lenders typically cap the total loan at 70-75% of ARV. A strong ARV relative to your purchase price and rehab budget means better leverage and more profit potential.
Do I need flipping experience to get a fix-and-flip loan in Florida?+
Not necessarily. While experienced flippers in Florida will get better rates and terms, many lenders work with first-time flippers who have a solid deal and a credit score of 680 or higher. First-time flippers may face slightly higher rates or lower leverage, but there are lenders in our network who specialize in newer investors. Having a detailed scope of work and a realistic budget helps strengthen your application.
How fast can I close on a fix-and-flip loan in Florida?+
Fix-and-flip loans in Florida can close in as few as 10-14 days. Speed is critical in the flipping business - being able to close quickly gives you an advantage when competing for deals. Sinai Capital works with lenders who specialize in fast closings so you can lock down Florida properties before other buyers.
