FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about working with Archwest Capital.
How does a fix and flip loan work?
A Fix & Flip Loan is a short-term financing solution designed for real estate investors looking to purchase, renovate, and resell properties quickly. These loans cover both acquisition and renovation costs, providing the capital needed until the property is sold.
What credit score do I need for a fix and flip loan?
Archwest generally requires a minimum average FICO score of 680 for loan eligibility. Alongside credit, Archwest also weighs the strength of the deal and the investor’s track record, rather than relying solely on personal income documentation the way traditional bank financing does.
How long does it take to close on a fix and flip loan?
Our expert team is committed to moving your loan efficiently from application to funding, including same day quotes.
Fix & Flip Loans: As fast as 3 business days; 2 week average
Timelines may vary based on borrower qualifications, property details, and market conditions. In addition, once a borrower is approved, future transactions can close even quicker.
Do I need real estate investing experience to qualify?
Yes, Archwest typically works with experienced investors who have completed at least one project within the past 36 months. Experience requirements vary by loan product, so reach out to discuss eligibility based on your investment background.
