Fix and Flip Loans

Fix and flip loans are short-term real estate loans used by investors who purchase properties, renovate them, and resell them for a profit. These loans are designed for speed, flexibility, and project-based underwriting. Instead of waiting months for traditional bank financing, investors can use fix and flip financing to move quickly when a good deal becomes available.

AtMedex PMC LLC, we help real estate investors connect with private lenders and funding partners that offer fix and flip loans throughout South Carolina and the Southeast. Whether you are buying your first flip or managing several renovation projects at once, we help review your deal and match it with lending options that fit your timeline.

Our mission is simple:

Find It. Fund It. Close It.


What Is a Fix and Flip Loan?

A fix and flip loan is a short-term investment property loan used to purchase and renovate a property that will be sold after repairs are complete.

These loans are often also called:

  • Rehab loans

  • Hard money loans

  • Bridge loans

  • Short-term real estate loans

  • Interest-only investment loans

  • Renovation loans for investors

Fix and flip loans are different from traditional home mortgages because they are not based only on the current condition of the property. Lenders also look at theAfter Repair Value, commonly called ARV. This is the estimated value of the property after renovations are completed.


Who Fix and Flip Loans Are For

Fix and flip loans are commonly used by:

  • Real estate investors

  • House flippers

  • Builders

  • Contractors

  • LLCs

  • Real estate partnerships

  • Investors buying distressed property

  • Investors purchasing auction properties

  • Investors buying properties that need repairs

  • Investors who need to close quickly

These loans are designed for investment properties, not owner-occupied primary residences.


Common Uses for Fix and Flip Financing

Fix and flip loans may be used for:

  • Purchasing distressed homes

  • Renovating outdated properties

  • Funding repair budgets

  • Buying auction properties

  • Acquiring off-market deals

  • Completing value-add renovations

  • Repositioning properties for resale

  • Short-term bridge financing

  • Refinancing an existing rehab project

Some lenders may finance both the purchase price and eligible renovation costs, depending on the deal.


Typical Loan Amounts

Medex PMC works with lenders offering fix and flip financing from approximately:

$50,000 to $40 million

Loan amounts depend on:

  • Purchase price

  • After Repair Value

  • Loan-to-value ratio

  • Renovation budget

  • Borrower experience

  • Property location

  • Exit strategy

  • Lender guidelines

For example, some lender programs may finance a portion of the purchase price and up to100% of eligible rehab costs, subject to underwriting.


What Do Fix and Flip Loans Cost?

Fix and flip loans are short-term loans, so pricing is usually higher than a traditional long-term mortgage.

Costs may depend on:

  • Loan amount

  • Borrower experience

  • Property value

  • After Repair Value

  • Scope of work

  • Renovation budget

  • Credit profile

  • Location

  • Exit strategy

Many fix and flip loans are structured withinterest-only paymentsduring the loan term. That can help investors reduce monthly carrying costs while work is being completed.

Medex PMC provides ano-cost consultationto review your project and explore available lending options.


How Long Do Fix and Flip Loans Last?

Most fix and flip loans are short-term.

Typical terms may range from:

6 to 24 months

The goal is usually to purchase the property, complete repairs, list the home, sell it, and repay the loan from the sale proceeds.

If the property will be kept as a rental, the investor may refinance into a longer-term rental loan such as a DSCR loan.


How Fast Can Funding Close?

Speed is one of the main reasons investors use fix and flip loans.

Some loans may close in as little as5 business daysafter the lender receives the required documents and completes underwriting.

Faster closings are more likely when the borrower has:

  • Purchase contract

  • Scope of work

  • Rehab budget

  • Property photos

  • Entity documents

  • Proof of funds or reserves

  • Exit strategy


What Documents Are Usually Required?

Requirements vary by lender, but common documents include:

  • Purchase contract

  • Property address

  • Scope of work

  • Rehab budget

  • Contractor estimate

  • Property photos

  • LLC documents

  • Bank statements

  • Identification

  • Insurance information

  • Exit strategy

The stronger your package is, the easier it is for lenders to evaluate the deal.


The Fix and Flip Loan Process

Step 1 — Submit the Deal

You provide the property address, purchase price, estimated rehab budget, estimated resale value, and timeline.

Step 2 — Review the Numbers

We review the purchase price, ARV, renovation budget, and expected exit strategy.

Step 3 — Match With Lenders

We compare your project with lender programs that finance fix and flip investments.

Step 4 — Collect Documents

The lender reviews the contract, property information, scope of work, borrower profile, and supporting documents.

Step 5 — Underwriting

The lender evaluates the deal, property value, project risk, and exit strategy.

Step 6 — Closing and Draws

Once approved, the loan closes. If rehab funds are included, they may be released through construction or renovation draws based on completed work.


Why Investors Use Fix and Flip Loans

Fix and flip loans can help investors act quickly in competitive markets.

Potential benefits include:

  • Fast closings

  • Short-term financing

  • Interest-only payment options

  • Rehab funding

  • Financing for distressed properties

  • LLC financing

  • Flexible underwriting

  • Ability to move before bank financing is available

  • Financing based partly on ARV

For many investors, the ability to close the deal matters more than finding the lowest possible interest rate.


Fix and Flip vs. Bridge Loans

A fix and flip loan is a type of bridge loan.

The difference is usually how the money is used.

A bridge loan can be used for many short-term real estate needs, including commercial acquisitions, rental property purchases, refinancing, and construction.

A fix and flip loan is specifically used to buy, renovate, and resell a property.


Why Work With Medex PMC?

Medex PMC LLC helps investors connect with private lenders that understand real estate investment projects.

Instead of submitting your deal to one lender, we help compare available financing options. This matters because each lender has different rules for ARV, rehab funding, borrower experience, credit, and closing timelines.

Whether you are flipping a property in Columbia, Sumter, Florence, Greenville, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, or another market in the Southeast, we can help review your deal and identify possible funding options.
