Our financing structures
Our program describes financing up to 100% with fast closings and same-day construction draws. Our listed terms are straightforward terms with no hidden fees. Ask for all charges and timing in writing.
| Term | Structure 1 | Structure 2 |
|---|---|---|
| At closing | 0.5 point | 3 points |
| Monthly payment | 1.5% monthly interest-only payments | 1% monthly interest-only payments |
| Balloon | 6-month balloon | 6-month balloon |
| Optional extension | 6-month extension for 1 point, only if all payments have been made on time | 6-month extension for 3 points, only if all payments have been made on time |
Program descriptions do not guarantee financing or a particular closing or draw date. Our lending partner's written offer controls.
Worked loan cost example
Illustrative $200,000 loan held for 4 months, with interest-only, full principal outstanding. The loan amount and hold period are editable sample inputs in our program terms sheet; the figures below are calculated from that sheet's current rates and points.
| Cost | Structure 1 | Structure 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Closing points | $1,000 | $6,000 |
| Monthly interest | $3,000 | $2,000 |
| Interest for 4 months | $12,000 | $8,000 |
| Points + interest | $13,000 | $14,000 |
| Optional extension points, if eligible | $2,000 | $6,000 |
This simplified example assumes the full loan balance is outstanding for the hold period. It excludes repayment of principal, closing and title charges, insurance, draw or inspection fees, taxes and any other costs in an actual offer. An extension is not automatic and requires on-time payments. Our lending partner determines eligibility and gives the final terms in writing; no funding, timing or profit is guaranteed.
How the after-repair value shapes the loan
The after-repair value, or ARV, is the estimated resale price of the finished home. When an advance is expressed as a share of ARV, the estimate behind that number does real work: the higher and better supported the ARV, the more a lender may advance against the project.
Support the estimate with comparable sales that match the finished home, not the property as it sits today. A lender will test the same comparisons when it reviews your file.
Compare the full cost
For each structure, add the points due at closing to the monthly interest over the time you expect to hold the loan. Then include third-party closing charges and any fees in the actual offer. If you need an extension, check its points and the on-time-payment condition. The six-month balloon means the principal is due at that point unless an extension is granted under the loan documents.
Our priority city pages discuss property-level renovation questions without assuming a loan amount or an after-repair value for a real project.
The other costs in the file
Interest is only one line. Points or origination fees may be charged at closing. Georgia closings involve an attorney, and title work and closing charges add to the total. Insurance during the project, and in some cases draw or inspection fees, can add to the total.
Ask for the complete list in writing before you commit. Two offers with the same rate can produce very different totals once the fees are counted.
How to compare offers
Total the interest over the months you actually expect to hold the property, add every fee, and add the closing costs on the file. Compare that full number across offers rather than comparing rates alone.
The funding process behind these figures is covered in how fix and flip funding works in Georgia, and the fix and flip vs hard money guide explains how this kind of loan relates to other products.
Common questions about costs
Are the rates on this page real offers?
These are our listed program terms, not an offer for your project. Our lending partner reviews each file. Review the complete written terms on your file.
What does after-repair value mean?
After-repair value, or ARV, is the estimated resale price of the home once the planned renovation is complete. Lenders use it to size the advance, so the comparable sales behind the estimate matter.
Are there costs beyond the interest rate?
Yes. Points or origination fees, closing attorney and title charges, insurance, and possible draw or inspection fees can all be part of a file. Ask for the complete fee list before you commit to any offer.
How is interest usually paid on a fix and flip loan?
Many fix and flip loans are structured with monthly interest payments and the principal due when the home sells or the term ends. Our lending partner's written offer controls the actual structure, so read it closely.
Do all lenders charge the same?
No. Pricing varies by lender, by property and by borrower. Comparing full written offers, not headline rates, is the only reliable way to know what a project will cost.
