We have done some recent deals in TX and would be happy to connect. We lend on residential only - no commercial or mixed-use. Our max LTV for fix and flip is 75% but we can go up to 90/100 LTC.

If you'd like to learn more, DM me or give me a call at 888.444.3160 option 6. Happy to get you a free, no-obligation quote.

I agree with most commenters that a DSCR loan seems like your best bet. Here are a few details on what we offer:

✅ Purchase, Rate Refinance, Cash-Out Refinance
✅ Loans From $100K to $3.5M
✅ Residential Single(1-4 Units) And Multi-Family (5-8 Units)
✅ 30-year, 20-year, and 15-year Fixed OR 5, 7, and 10-year ARM
✅ Credit 640+

The more experience you have and the higher your credit score, the better your rate and terms. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

With your considerable experience and, I'm assuming, strong credit score, you would be well-positioned to receive high leverage and low rates from most private lenders. You have a strong hand when it comes to negotiating financing. 

Have you considered dropping by one of your local REIA meetings to see what lenders your peers are using? It's always nice to get a personal referral.

Congrats! It sounds like you're well on your way to creating generational wealth. We are a direct private lender headquartered here in Maryland but lending up and down the East Coast and out to the Midwest. Keep us in mind if you're looking to leverage your success.

In areas with exceedingly tight housing inventory and high prices, sometimes new construction is the only way in. We lend up to 85% of the build costs but, generally, require that our borrowers have some experience with ground-up construction.

Thoughtful analysis, @Alan Asriants. It's hard to make the numbers work on a DSCR loan these days although we do have clients who do it - especially in the multi-family space. We are also seeing lots of folks pivot to new construction where there can be a lot more upside.

Best of luck to you!

Have you considered a fix and rent approach? You could rehab a distressed property using a fix-and-flip loan and then refinance the loan into a long-term DSCR once the repairs are finished. That way you could unlock the equity quickly and deploy it on your next project. Rinse and repeat.

Good luck on your journey!

As lenders, we are biased toward leverage for many of the reasons already mentioned. Although a cash offer may help you win the property or gain concessions in the short-term, there are long-term benefits to using debt. 

Amplified Returns: Rental income and potential appreciation are magnified because they work on the entire property value, not just your down payment. It revs up your investment engine!

Build a Portfolio Powerhouse: Leverage lets you acquire multiple properties, accelerating your path to generational wealth.

Tax Advantages: Mortgage interest and depreciation can be tax-deductible, further sweetening the deal.

Best of luck to you!

    Are you looking for your next real estate investment project?

    Take a look at 118 Linden Avenue, located in the historic Park View neighborhood in Portsmouth, Virginia. Originally developed in the late 19th century, Park View offers a blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. This single-family home is a commuter's dream, situated near Interstate 264 and the Naval Medical Center.

    This fixer-upper has considerable unlocked potential with nearly 1500 square feet of living space and sits on a level, grassy lot. It is ripe for rehab. Put in some sweat equity and turn this 3 BR 2.5 BA property into a welcoming nest.

    118 Linden Avenue is listed at $214.5K and is priced to sell. Choose your own exit strategy! Fix it up and flip it–pocketing the profits. Or, fix it up and rent it out–creating a long-term passive income stream.

    Whatever you choose, NavCap can help finance the deal. We can fund up to 75% LTV through our fix and flip loan product. If you choose to rent the property ultimately, we can easily refinance your short-term loan into a long-term DSCR.
