Fix & Flip Loans in Newport Beach — ARV-Based Investor Financing from a Local Broker
A fix-and-flip loan in Newport Beach is short-term, business-purpose financing covering up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab (to 75% of ARV), qualified on the deal's after-repair value rather than personal income. Save Financial (NMLS #377740), a local broker at 4000 MacArthur Blvd, Suite 600, shops investor lenders and closes fast. Call (949) 379-5320.
Orange County is prime value-add territory — older Costa Mesa and Tustin homes ripe for renovation, coastal properties with upside, and a deep bench of active flippers and BRRRR investors. A fix-and-flip loan covers up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab (to 75% of ARV) and underwrites the deal's after-repair value, not your personal income. In a fast, competitive OC market, that leverage plus a roughly 10-day close lets an investor compete with cash buyers instead of losing the property to them.

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. Up to 90% of the purchase funds at closing, and the rehab budget releases in draws as inspected milestones are met. In Orange County's fast market, financing 100% of the rehab and closing in roughly 10 days is what lets an investor compete with cash offers.
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 Orange County Investors
- A seasoned OC flipper acquiring a Costa Mesa home at ~10% down with full rehab funding.
- A first-time flipper at ~20% down using the first-flipper program with an experienced partner.
- A BRRRR investor buying in Tustin, then refinancing into a DSCR loan after rent stabilizes.
- A value-add buyer funding an Irvine condo renovation via draw releases.
- An investor using a ~10-day close to win against cash buyers on a coastal property.
Is a Fix & Flip Loan Right for You?
- You're buying a non-owner-occupied OC investment property to rehab and flip or hold.
- The numbers work on ARV, with total leverage within 75% of after-repair value.
- You want 90% purchase + 100% rehab financing released in inspected draws.
- You're experienced (~10% down) or new (~20% down) with an experienced contractor/partner.
Fix & Flip vs. Hard Money vs. DSCR
Investors usually weigh these three depending on the strategy and the exit:
| For a Orange County 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 | Orange County 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.
