Fix and Flip Financing Advice
Hello all - need some advice on the best way to finance this deal considering I will not be able to carry it with cash. Here are some fairly conservative details:
Purchase Price + Closing Costs: $370k
Renovation Costs: $25k (very conservative)
ARV: $515k
I have $55k cash on hand, with an undrawn line of credit of $100k.
The renovation will go very quickly, about 30 days.
Questions:
- Is there a short term bridge loan (interest only) option available in the market?
- What is the best way to minimize my transaction costs, given that I will need financing?
- How can I best position myself with a lender? I have a mortgage on my primary residence (same lender who holds my HELOC), but no other debt (personal or investment property). My AGI is $120k on my 2020 return, but that did not include by annual bonus paid in January 2021 of $40k (new job in 2020 so wasn't eligible to receive prior to Jan 2021).

Hey all thank you for the advice. I found a local hard money lender that will fund this deal for me.
@Michael Glist would love to connect with you for future opportunities as I find it easier to work with someone local.
