How a South 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). South Carolina is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, with a statewide median near $355,000 (up ~7%). Columbia is affordable around $225,000, Greenville near $525,000 and climbing, and Charleston the premium coastal market – value inland, premium on the coast.

The model keeps your own capital small and your South Carolina flip velocity high, so you can run several projects a season and exit cleanly with a sale or a refinance into a rental.
