Fix-and-flip loans provide real estate investors with the specialized financing needed to acquire, renovate, and resell properties for profit throughout Park City and surrounding Utah communities. The Wasatch Back region presents abundant opportunities for value creation through strategic property improvements, from dated single-family homes needing modernization to distressed properties requiring comprehensive rehabilitation. Our hard money fix-and-flip lending programs deliver the speed and flexibility that successful flipping operations require in competitive acquisition markets.
The fix-and-flip strategy involves purchasing properties below market value, executing planned renovations that increase property appeal and value, and reselling the improved asset at a profit. Success requires accurate estimation of acquisition costs, renovation expenses, holding costs, and ultimate sale values, plus the ability to move quickly when opportunities arise. Traditional financing proves ill-suited for fix-and-flip investments due to lengthy approval processes, property condition requirements, and inflexible terms that don't accommodate renovation timelines.
Park City's diverse housing stock creates opportunities across multiple market segments. Historic homes in established neighborhoods, outdated properties in desirable school districts, and distressed assets in emerging areas all present potential for profitable rehabilitation. Our fix-and-flip loans support experienced investors executing sophisticated renovation strategies and newcomers building their track record through carefully selected projects. The key differentiator is our ability to evaluate deals based on investor experience, project feasibility, and profit potential rather than conventional lending criteria.
How We Help
Single-family home renovations represent the most common fix-and-flip application in the Park City market. Investors target properties requiring cosmetic updates, system replacements, layout modifications, or comprehensive rehabilitation. Our loans provide acquisition funding plus renovation capital in structured draw schedules that align with project milestones. This integrated financing approach eliminates the complexity of coordinating separate acquisition and construction loans.
Luxury property upgrades address the high-end market segment where buyers expect premium finishes, smart home technology, and contemporary design. These projects require substantial capital investment and sophisticated project management but offer corresponding profit potential. Our fix-and-flip programs accommodate higher loan amounts and extended timelines appropriate for luxury renovations throughout Park City, Deer Valley, and surrounding premium communities.
Multi-unit property renovations enable investors to acquire duplexes, triplexes, or small apartment buildings, upgrade units to market standards, and sell stabilized assets to buy-and-hold investors. This strategy requires understanding of both renovation dynamics and rental market fundamentals. Our lending supports these value-add projects with structures that accommodate unit-by-unit renovations and extended timelines for lease-up of improved units.
Distressed property acquisitions including foreclosures, short sales, estate sales, and auction purchases often require cash-like closing capabilities that only hard money provides. These properties typically need significant rehabilitation before reaching retail sale condition. Our fix-and-flip loans fund both the discounted acquisition and comprehensive renovation, enabling investors to profit from transforming problem properties into desirable homes.
Common Challenges
Fix-and-flip investors face financing challenges including the need for rapid closings to secure discounted properties, difficulty obtaining loans for distressed assets, and coordination complexity between acquisition and renovation funding. Traditional lenders decline most fix-and-flip candidates due to property condition, short intended hold periods, or investor qualification issues.
Renovation cost overruns, project delays, and market timing risks create additional pressure that rigid loan structures compound. Many investors struggle to access sufficient capital for both acquisition and quality renovations. Our fix-and-flip loans address these challenges with fast closings, high leverage options, and renovation draw schedules that support successful project execution.
Our Approach
Our fix-and-flip lending emphasizes speed, leverage, and partnership. We can close acquisition funding in days, not weeks, enabling investors to compete with cash buyers for desirable properties. Our loan structures typically cover up to 90% of purchase price plus 100% of renovation costs, minimizing investor capital requirements while ensuring adequate funding for quality improvements.
We structure renovation draws based on project milestones and verified completion, ensuring capital availability while maintaining appropriate disbursement controls. Our lending team includes experienced real estate professionals who understand renovation projects and can provide guidance on deal structure, contractor selection, and project management. We succeed when our borrowers succeed, creating alignment around profitable project completion.
