Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kinds of loans does FlipFuel offer?
  • Fix & Flip loans: short-term purchase-plus-renovation financing (12–18 months).
  • Construction loans: funds for new builds or major rehabs.
  • Bridge loans: transition capital for quick-close or light rehab acquisitions.
  • DSCR Rental loans: income-free verification, cash flow–based loans on
    rental properties with up to 30-year terms.
  • Rental Portfolio loans: blanket financing for 5–20+ properties with
    consolidated payments.
2. What are the basic product terms and rates?
  • Fix & Flip: starting around 8.99%, up to 90% LTC or 100% rehab, 12–18-month terms.
  • Rental/DSCR: rates start in the mid-5% range with fully amortizing or ARM options up to 30 years.
  • Portfolio loans: structured to scale across multiple properties.
  • Construction and Bridge: intermediary solutions with terms and pricing tailored to project scope.
3. Do I need experience to qualify?

No. FlipFuel evaluates each project on its own merits. You do not need prior fix-and-flip experience—you may still qualify if the projected ARV and rehab plan are solid.

4. Is income documentation required?

For DSCR-based rental loans: no income or W-2 documentation required. Underwriting is based on projected rental cash flow. Fix & Flip and Bridge require property-based metrics (ARV/LTC), not personal income.

5. What credit score is required?

Typically, a FICO score of ~660 or higher is standard. In some cases, lower scores may still qualify—terms depend on project details and borrower history.

6. What types of properties are eligible?

Eligible property types include:

  • Single-family rentals, 2–4 unit buildings
  • Warrantable condos, townhomes, small multifamily units

Properties must be non-owner-occupied residential; commercial uses are not eligible.

7. What is the minimum and maximum loan amount?
  • Fix & Flip loan amounts generally range from $50K to $3MM.
  • DSCR and Portfolio products typically start at $75K, with maximums up to $2.5MM or more depending on portfolio value.
8. Are there prepayment penalties?

There are no prepayment penalties on our Fix & Flip, Bridge and Construction Loans. For rental property loans, depending on the terms, their may be prepayment penalties, but these terms can be flexible in that aspect.
