Why Investors Choose Swell?

Is a Fix and Flip Loan a Good Fit for You?

Our fix & flip loan is built for investors who see opportunity in distressed or undervalued properties and have a plan to renovate and resell for profit or hold the property as a rental.

Whether you're growing your portfolio or just getting started in real estate investing, Swell's fix & flip loan gives you the capital you need to purchase, renovate, and exit each project on time. 

Who This Loan Is For?

  • Investors purchasing distressed or undervalued single-family homes to renovate and resell.
  • Investors renovating to hold as a long-term rental instead of selling - the BRRRR method.
  • Experienced flippers who need capital efficiency to run multiple projects at once.
  • Investors who've outgrown their current financing source or don't fit traditional commercial banking criteria.

Loans Designed For Flipping

  • New Purchase -> Fast funding and quick closings help you compete with cash buyers, and we cover 100% of rehab costs.
  • Delayed Purchase Refinance -> If you’ve used your own capital to acquire a property, our investment property financing allows you to restore your cash position within 6 months of purchase.
  • Seasoned Refinance -> Owned the property for 6 months or more? Our fix & flip loan can give you the extra time and funding you need to get to the finish line.
