Getting Involved in the New Hot Market—Securing a Hard Money Loan in Arizona to Flip a House

With the increased ability of financing and rising home prices, house flipping is at heights not seen since 2007. Hard Money Loan in Arizona's can give first time flippers the ability to get in on the ground floor.

Today, flippers are earning higher profits directly related to the shortage in homes. If you are new to flipping, you have probably heard that buying, fixing and selling can be lucrative. The funds that you will need must cover buying the property, renovation, property taxes, utilities, and homeowner’s insurance from the date that you buy the property through the rehab and until it sells. When you sell the home in 12 months or less, you face short term capital gains in the range of 10% to 37% depending on your tax bracket.

If you are seeking 100% financing to get started, you may face additional obstacles. Many lenders follow the 70 percent LTV rule. Even with a down payment, you will find that getting a loan for flipping homes involves higher interest rates than a home mortgage. This is due to the higher risks involved in flipping than a home mortgage. If you are inexperienced, then you will face even more head winds. You may want to find and partner with an experienced flipper who has a successful track record. Once the team has a successful track record, then you are ready to venture out on your own.

Hard Money Loan in Arizona are the answer for many first-time flippers. Terms are usually one year or less with interest rates that range from 12% to 18%. You will also need to pay points, usually 2% to 5% of the loan value. Some Hard Money Lenders in Arizona use the after-renovation value (ARV) as the basis for calculating the loan. Others rely on the value of the home or property before renovation or repairs are made.
