Gap funding bridges the shortfall between your primary loan and the total capital needed to close a real estate deal—typically covering down payments, renovation expenses, or other upfront costs.
At Levine Capital, we simplify this process by offering both the primary (first-lien) Fix & Flip loan and the secondary gap funding in-house. Our preferred structure is to hold the first lien while providing the gap funding in second position—allowing us, in many cases, to offer up to 100% financing. If the combined After-Repair Loan-to-Value (ARLTV) ratio exceeds 70%, we may require additional collateral to strengthen the underwriting.
