How to Submit a Loan for Gap Funding on a Fix & Flip, Fix2Rent, or Ground-Up Construction Project

Gap Funding

Are you looking to secure gap funding for your next real estate endeavor—whether that’s a fix & flip, fix-to-rent, or a ground-up construction project? Look no further! We’ve put together a straightforward process to help you understand exactly what’s needed to get started.

What is Gap Funding?

Gap funding, or gap financing, helps cover the difference (“gap”) between your primary loan and the total cost needed to complete your real estate project. It can be a lifeline for investors wanting to leverage more capital without dipping further into their pockets.

Step 1: Complete the Quick Quote

1. Visit Our Quick Quote Page
The journey begins at our Quick Quote page. This is the easiest way to submit essential information about your project.

2. Enter Basic Project Details
Provide preliminary details such as property location, estimated costs, and a brief overview of your project’s scope. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the numbers locked down yet—just share what you know.

Step 2: Choose the Right Loan Type

1. Fix & Flip
Ideal for investors planning to renovate and resell a property in a short time frame.

2. Fix-to-Rent
Perfect for those who intend to repair and hold the property as a rental for long-term income.

3. Ground-Up Construction
If you’re starting from scratch on a new build or an extensive renovation, choose the ground-up construction option.

Step 3: Determine Your Desired Leverage

After selecting your loan type, you’ll be prompted to indicate your preferred leverage (loan-to-value ratio). This ensures that the financing terms are tailored to your project’s specific needs and your personal risk tolerance.

Step 4: Provide a Detailed Project Summary

1. Describe Your Vision
In the project summary, detail everything from the current state of the property to the final outcome you envision. For a fix & flip or fix-to-rent, include your renovation plan, timeline, and estimated resale or rental value. For a ground-up construction, outline the construction phases and expected timelines.

2. Include Key Numbers

  • Purchase Price / Lot Cost
  • Estimated Rehab or Construction Budget
  • After-Repair Value (ARV) or Projected Property Value

3. Don’t Sweat the Unknowns
If you’re unsure about any specifics, just do your best. Our team will assist in clarifying the details later.
