Fix-and-Flip Loans: Fast Capital for Real Estate Investors
Fix-and-flip loans provide short-term financing for property acquisition and renovation. PeerSense connects you with lenders who close quickly and fund rehab draws as you complete the work.
What Is a Fix-and-Flip Loan?
A fix-and-flip loan is short-term financing designed for real estate investors who purchase distressed properties, renovate them, and resell for profit. Unlike traditional mortgages, fix-and-flip loans are structured for speed and flexibility — not long-term ownership.
Lenders advance capital for both the purchase and renovation costs, releasing rehab funds in draws as work is completed. The loan is repaid when the property is sold, typically within 6–18 months.
Fast Close
7–14 day closing timeline typical. No appraisal delays or income verification.
Rehab Draws

Experience-Based
Underwriting based on your track record and deal quality, not just credit score.
