What is the 70% Rule for fix and flips?

We suggest using this formula when seeing if your deal qualifies as a deal –

ARV x 70% less your rehab budget = your max offer/purchase price

Fix and Flip Loans for beginners are not an issue for us like they are with other lenders. We will lend to first time flippers!!

What Is House Flipping? A Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Profit

House flipping is a proven real estate investment strategy where investors purchase undervalued or distressed properties, renovate them, and quickly resell for a profit. Popular among both beginners and seasoned pros, flipping houses can generate strong returns—if done with careful planning and smart execution.

 How House Flipping Works

  1. Buy Low – Identify properties priced below market value due to condition or foreclosure.
  2. Rehab Strategically – Renovate with ROI in mind. Focus on updates that increase resale appeal and home value.
  3. Sell High – List the upgraded property in a hot local market and aim for a fast, profitable closing.

 Why House Flipping Can Be Profitable

  • Short Investment Cycles – Most flips are completed within 3–6 months.
  • High ROI Potential – Profit margins vary, but smart flips can yield 15–30% returns.
  • Market Flexibility – Works in both rising and stagnant housing markets if the numbers make sense.

Why Choose Fix and Flip Loans For Your Next Project?

Fix and Flip Loans are a vital tool for real estate investors. It is a loan made by a hard money lender for the investor to buy, fix and sell a house. More recently, many investors have been rehabbing houses and then renting them out to hold as a long term rental.

Banks just do not understand that you can buy a property, put some money into it, and it could be worth a considerable amount more once you do this.

Yes, I know banks have their 203k program, but closings on those are mostly limited to homeowners (this is not an investor product) and typically these are not quick easy closings like hard money loans are.

Not sure which markets you should be looking at (if you fix and flip outside your home market), then this article “where to invest as a fix and flipper in 2022” is a great read for you.
