What Our Partners Say
I’ve worked with Archwest Capital on both a bridge loan and a full construction loan, and their team, led by Danny, consistently goes above and beyond. As a developer in the valley, having a reliable lending partner is crucial—and Archwest delivers with outstanding service, accessibility, and a proactive mindset. Danny once took my call on a Saturday and had everything I needed in my inbox by Monday, showing his genuine commitment to clients. Most recently, they helped us close a complex deal with overseas owners, coordinating late-night calls, Zooms, and emails to get it done smoothly. Their dedication and flexibility have made a lasting impression.

If getting a loan was an Olympic sport, Justin would take home the gold—while answering emails mid-victory lap. He’s the kind of lender who actually picks up the phone, responds faster than our morning coffee kicks in, and somehow makes the whole process dare I say enjoyable.
Need a lender who gets ish done? Justin’s your guy. Need one who keeps things smooth and stress-free? Still Justin. Need one who can time travel to close deals at warp speed? I’m pretty sure he’s working on that too.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a lender who’s a pleasure to work with and makes financing feel effortless, call Justin. Just don’t ask him to slow down—he physically can’t.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Lightbody & Jennifer Tran on numerous transactions and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. They are both incredibly professional, responsive and knowledgeable. They are always ahead of the game during the funding process, and always make sure the loan gets funded as smoothly as possible. They are both a DREAM to work with. I cant recommend them both enough!

I used Archwest to help fund a large transaction involving multiple new construction homes. It was not a typical project, but we were able to close on time.
I’d highly recommend collaborating with Archwest on any real estate projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Fix & Flip Loans in Cincinnati
What is a fix & flip loan?
A fix-and-flip loan is a type of short-term financing used to purchase and renovate a residential property with the intention of reselling it for a profit. Unlike traditional mortgages, these loans are designed for investors and are structured to cover both the acquisition and the renovation costs.
What are the typical requirements for a fix & flip loan?
At Archwest Capital, we focus on the deal’s merit, not personal income. Our key requirements include a detailed project plan, a realistic renovation budget, and a proven track record of successful flips. While a minimum credit score is often a factor, our primary focus is on the deal’s viability and your ability to execute the project.
How does the loan draw process work?
The loan draw process is the way renovation funds are disbursed. Once the loan closes, a series of scheduled draws are made to pay for completed work and materials. This process is managed by your dedicated account manager who, after a quick inspection to verify completion, will disburse funds into your account to keep the project moving forward.
What is the typical loan term and interest rate?
Our fix-and-flip loan terms typically range from 6 to 30 months, with interest-only payments during the renovation period. We offer competitive rates tailored to your project. Interest payments are only on the funds you have drawn, not the entire loan amount.
How do your loans differ from a traditional bank loan?
Traditional bank loans often require extensive personal income documentation, a low debt-to-income ratio, and a lengthy approval process. Archwest Capital focuses on the investment property itself and your experience as a flipper, providing a faster, more flexible, and more efficient path to funding your business-purpose project.
