How are you sourcing your deals if you are in Virginia?

We have family teams in place in both markets of Texas & Virginia and source deals on/off market through agent referrals, cold calling motivated sellers and PPL.

Well, if you get more deals than you can handle and they’re too good to be true I have a friend in San Antonio that buys properties I might could point you to. 😇

Sounds good Joe, I'll keep you mind. Also, we are looking to buy 3 to 4 properties in San Antonio right now so please keep my contact info.

I'd be surprised that you couldn't find several HML with that record, assuming you haven't defaulted.

Back in the 2010 era, I was only doing 2 or 3 a year and all were financed with lenders at the same time.

Thanks Steve, its not that we couldn't find several HMLs. We just never looked past the next project and got comfortable. However now is the time to scale.

@Jay Hinrichs can you comment?

Thanks for the mention Drew.. this post should get most of the Lender / brokers chiming in there are a ton of them on BP most brokering or whitelabeling the big lenders products like Kiavi or lima one etc etc.

this would be a prime candidate for a capital partner . My clients once they come on board with us generally will flip 5 to 40 homes a year.. pretty hard to do more than about 3 or 4 a month but I have a client in KC that does at least 30 to 40 with me and I know he has another lender.. the difference with a company like ours that is a capital partner your paying a touch more for the service but once its going its ALL our money and then the partners work. No down payment no apprasials no monthly payments... just be very good at what you do.. we dont take on newbies or one off .. Only higher volume shops . But of course Like I said you pay somewhat of a premium over the cheapest hard money out there that reguires down payment paying their points and fees UPFRONT making monthly payments paying for insurance.. I insure the properties .. WE all get paid at the same time when the property closes I get my money back and my agreed on captial partner split they get the rest.. for some it works great we help them scale.. for others that just do a few a year and are dialing for absolute cheapest rates and have the money for downpayment and to make payments etc.. thats the route they will go usually broker who is putting them into a large lenders program and raking points off the top and at closing.. Either way works. This company would be someone I would look at.. experience and wants to do volume.. As stated we are not interested in folks that do a few a year.

Thanks Jay!

We’re a family-owned fix-and-flip company operating in San Antonio, TX, and Northern Virginia, managing everything in-house—from wholesale acquisitions to rehab & construction (with our own project managers and crews) to listing & selling through our licensed brokerage. Our Challenge is We’ve successfully completed 8 flips in 24 months and are ready to scale to 20-30 flips this year. However, our current hard money lender only funds one loan at a time, limiting our ability to take on multiple deals simultaneously. For those who have scaled their fix-and-flip operations, what are the best lending solutions you’ve used? Have you leveraged lines of credit, private lenders, portfolio loans, or other creative financing options? We’re actively seeking lenders who can fund multiple properties at once.

Open to discussions on flexible financing strategies that have worked for others.

I'd love to hear from fellow investors, lenders, and finance professionals—how have you navigated this challenge? Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

This is a very common situation with most investors trying to find a way to scale, and it is really nice that you are looking for solutions proactively. Most of the fix-and-flip investors combine the financing strategies to get past their limitations.

Some options that might be viable for you include:

Private Lenders – Such investors usually offer short-term lending but provide greater flexibility compared to a traditional hard money lender.
Lines of Credit – Another alternative could be an excellent option to finance several deals at once using a business line of credit or HELOC (if it applies).
Portfolio Loans – Also, community banks and credit unions offer portfolio loans to finance many properties under one loan structure.
Debt Funds – Some lenders focusing on fix-and-flip portfolios have blanket loans or credit facilities designed for volume investors.
Partnerships & JV Deals - Partnering with other investor partnership capital partners can spread the risk and enhance deal flow.
This consideration may be worth it in terms of approaching local banks or credit unions with an understanding of real estate investment because they are generally flexible in offering loans compared to national lenders.

It would be great to hear from others what has worked for them! Who have you worked with and what methods or strategies helped scale efficiently?

Thanks for those options.

Best way to scale a fix and flip operation in 2025 is to build yourself a time machine and go back about 10 years.

You right about that James! But I certainly dont want to go back and have to build another 10 year time machine in 2035. So the grind continues.

Hey Duane,

Congrats on the work thus far! 8 in 24 months is no joke, especially chipping away one at a time, I'm sure it has come with plenty of teachable moments, but its awesome that you are able to ask the question of how to scale.

To start, a hard money lender that is only allowing you to do one at a time with your track record is... well... kind of silly. There are plenty of HMLs that would look at your 8 'exits' (whether you kept or sold) and put you on some kind of "Pro" category and help you leverage as much as possible to grow as quickly as possible.

Just keep a good record of your SREO and hang onto the HUDs that you've had from both your purchase and your sales. Once you use those to establish your experience (along with appropriate LLC Operating Agreements to show involvement of owning LLC) then 2025 should send you to the moon!

Northern VA is such a great place to invest right now, a great sweet spot in value add properties + availability. The cost of entry is a bit higher compared to Detroit or Alabama, but the fact that you are grooving is awesome.

I would add to talk with your family to discuss the amount of leverage you are comfortable with as you start talking to these new HMLs. Many will promise high Loan to Costs and low, low down payments, but think about the Interest Rates and what you are comfortable with when it comes to giving up equity in a deal in order to do more deals.

Congratulations again on what you've accomplished so far, good luck in the future and don't forget about us little guys when you've "made it".

Thank You AJ, Far from made it, but trying to make progress everyday. I appreciate your suggestions.

Quote from @Ryan Blake:

I think you may need a new lender that is able to grow with you. Most lenders will let you do more than 1 at a time. Most will let you do 3+ at a time. I would also suggest finding a 100% LTC (loan to cost) lender that will fund all of your rehab and all of your purchase. San Antonio is a hot market still for flipping. Tougher to make rentals work at the moment but I hope that will change soon. I will be honest I do not know much about that Virginia market. Feel free to reach out if you have an lending questions.

Thanks Ryan, I may reach out to you.
