Our rehab/flip program offers 90% to 95% LTV (not to exceed 65% to 70% of the properties after repaired value/ARV).   All borrowers are required to pay closing costs and show evidence of funds to complete the necessary fix-up and repairs to the subject property over and above what lender will hold in escrow.

  • San Antonio, Austin, and Corpus Christi Metro areas only (DFW and Houston case by case)
  • Close in as little as 7-14 days
  • No new survey required on most loans
  • 1-4 Unit Residential Investment Purchase only

Approvals are based on a combination of the following:

  • Verification of assets to complete the project
  • Past rehab experience
  • Subject property itself (“as-is” and “after repaired value”)
  • Credit (no minimum score required, but credit is pulled to review total debt, mortgage pay history and public records).

Prior to closing an appraisal or broker’s price opinion (BPO) will be ordered by Texas Equity Lending and approved.  This third party $300-$500 fee must be paid in advance and is non-refundable.  The appraisal / BPO is used to determine the “as-is” value and “after repaired value/ ARV” of the subject property. For those properties with significantly increased after repaired values some additional funds may be available for disbursement.  Any additional money available would be disbursed in two draws (1st draw when the rehab is 50% complete and the balance when the rehab is 100% complete).

(Additional money held in escrow will only be released after Texas Equity Lending inspects and approves work completed.  Please allow 3-5 days to schedule an inspection and release funds.)

Example assuming 10% down (only 5% required in some cases):

Sales Price
$125,000
ARV
$205,000
Repairs Needed
$20,000
Down Payment
$12,500
Initial Loan Amount

$20,000 to be held in escrow and released in two draws of $10,000 (1st draw when rehab is 50% complete, 2nd draw when rehab is 100% complete).

Final loan amount $132,500 when project complete.
