Fix & Flip Loans in Marina del Rey — ARV-Based Investor Financing from a Local Broker
A fix-and-flip loan in Marina del Rey is short-term, business-purpose financing that funds up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab (to 75% of ARV) and qualifies on the deal's after-repair value — not your income. Save Financial (NMLS #377740), a local broker at 13763 Fiji Way, Suite EU2, shops investor lenders and closes fast. Call (310) 759-4757.
The Westside is a flipper's market of contrasts — tear-down bungalows in Mar Vista and Venice sitting on land worth far more than the structure, dated beach-adjacent condos, and value-add upside almost everywhere. A fix-and-flip loan funds up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab (capped at 75% of the after-repair value), qualifying on the deal's ARV rather than your W-2. So an investor can move fast on a Westside property and fund the renovation without tying up all their cash — and with values this high, the leverage and a roughly 10-day close are often what win the deal.

How a Fix & Flip Loan Works
A fix-and-flip loan is short-term, business-purpose financing for a non-owner-occupied investment property you plan to renovate and resell (or refinance). It funds up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovation costs, capped at 75% of the after-repair value (ARV), and it qualifies on the deal's ARV rather than your personal income.
Terms run 6–18 months, interest-only. The lender advances up to 90% of the purchase at closing, then releases the rehab budget in draws as milestones are completed and verified by inspection. On the Westside, where a single project ties up serious capital, that 100% rehab financing keeps your cash free for the next deal.
First-time flippers typically bring about 20% down (vs. ~10% for experienced flippers with 2–3 completed projects); our ‘first flipper’ program allows higher leverage for new investors paired with an experienced contractor or partner. Loan sizes run $50K–$5M. Fix-and-flip loans are business-purpose financing for non-owner-occupied investment properties — they are not consumer mortgages for a primary residence.

Common Fix & Flip Scenarios for Westside Investors
- An experienced flipper buying a Mar Vista tear-down at ~10% down with 100% rehab financing.
- A first-time flipper at ~20% down, paired with a licensed contractor under the first-flipper program.
- A BRRRR investor acquiring a Culver City property, then refinancing into DSCR after stabilization.
- A value-add buyer funding a Venice condo remodel through inspected draws.
- An investor needing a ~10-day close to beat competing offers on a Westside deal.
Is a Fix & Flip Loan Right for You?
- You're buying a non-owner-occupied Westside property to renovate and resell or refinance.
- The deal pencils on ARV — total financing stays within 75% of after-repair value.
- You want up to 90% of purchase and 100% of rehab, funded in draws.
- You're an experienced flipper (~10% down) or a first-timer (~20% down) with a solid contractor.
Fix & Flip vs. Hard Money vs. DSCR
Investors usually weigh these three depending on the strategy and the exit:
| For a Westside investor | Fix & Flip | Hard Money (bridge) | DSCR (long-term hold) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Buy + renovate for resale or refi | Fast, short-term investor bridge | Long-term rental hold |
| Term | 6–18 months, interest-only | Short-term | 30-year |
| Qualifies on | The deal's after-repair value (ARV) | Asset / equity | Property rental cash flow (DSCR) |
| Rehab funds | Yes — up to 100%, released in draws | Sometimes | No |
| Leverage | Up to 90% purchase + 100% rehab (75% ARV cap) | Varies by equity | Purchase LTV |
| Best for | Westside flippers & BRRRR acquisition | A fast close or bridge | Buy-and-hold refinance |
Many BRRRR investors use fix & flip to acquire and rehab, then refinance into DSCR to hold. We'll structure the acquisition and the exit together.
