How a North Carolina fix & flip loan works
A fix and flip loan is short-term project financing for a buy-renovate-sell deal. Rather than your income, we underwrite the business plan – what you pay, what the rehab costs, and the after-repair value (ARV). North Carolina adds ~145,000 residents a year – third-fastest in the nation – with a $383,000 median. Charlotte leads volume near $430,000 and Raleigh near $449,000, while the Triad’s Greensboro (~$275,000) and Winston-Salem (~$279,000) sit well under the state median at real volume.
The model keeps your own capital small and your North Carolina flip velocity high, so you can run several projects a season and exit cleanly with a sale or a refinance into a rental.
The four numbers every North Carolina flip lives or dies on
After-repair value – your finished, sold price. Every loan dollar is sized against it.
The ceiling: total loan generally stays within 75% of ARV, leaving room for profit.
Your renovation budget – funded 100% and reimbursed in draws as work is completed.
Holding costs – interest, insurance, taxes, utilities – every month until you sell.

| Term | 12-24 or 12-36 months; extensions available; no prepayment penalty |
| Credit / docs | 620+; no income or W-2 documentation on investment properties |
