Fix-and-Flip Loan Strategies That Maximize Investor ROI

 

Fix-and-flip projects thrive when you secure the right financing. As a leading direct lender, Westpark Loans offers loan strategies that streamline your investment, shorten timelines, and maximize returns. Here’s how to optimize your ROI using smart loan tactics:

1. Choose High-Leverage Hard Money with Rehab Financing

The ideal strategy is to finance both your purchase and rehab with one loan. Westpark’s “Fix‑and‑Flip Loans” offer up to 75% ARV financing, covering acquisition and renovation in a streamlined package. This reduces out-of-pocket costs and increases your return on investment

Investor Tip: Use maximum allowable funds to boost renovation quality, without tying up capital.

2. Analyze ARV vs. Loan-to-Value (LTV)

Maximize ROI by aligning purchase price, rehab cost, and ARV:

·         Aim for 80% LTV on purchase price, keeping debt low.

·         Finance up to 75% of ARV, including rehab.

·         Cover any funding gaps with low-risk capital to protect margins.

Westpark routinely funds up to 80% of ARV in case studies, like a $479K loan on an $810K ARV flip

3. Secure Quick Closings to Lock Deals

Speed is essential—market opportunities fade fast. Westpark lends hard money, closing in 10 days or less, keeping you agile in competitive markets. Quick funding means less time on the market and more time renovating.

4. Minimize Upfront Costs & Fees

Avoid "junk fees" that eat into ROI:

·         Look for lenders with low origination points

·         Ensure rehab financing is built into the loan

·         Watch for transparent, flat fees—no surprises

Pacific West Finance, a peer lender, emphasizes low cost and in-house execution to bolster investor returns

5. Plan Your Exit Strategy Early

A clear exit—whether resale or refinance—is critical. Most Westpark loans are short-term (6–18 month terms), letting investors flip quickly or refinance into rental debt.

Smart Exit Approaches:

·         Sell ASAP to lock profit

·         Refinance through DSCR or cash-out loans to hold as rental and tax-deferred

6. Tap Into All-in-One Solutions

Westpark’s hassle-free hard money loans bundle purchase, rehab draws, and flexible repayment. This simplicity helps keep operations tight and ROI high, because fewer moving parts = fewer surprises

Maximize Your ROI Checklist

·         Use full rehab financing + hard money

·         Maintain a max 80% LTV / 75% ARV loan ratio

·         Close fast—ideally within 10 days

·         Choose transparent, efficient loan structures

·         Confirm your exit strategy—flip or refinance
