I'm looking for a lender who will cover 100% of rehab and at least 90% of the loan. I have buy and holds with traditional mortgages, and now looking to get into fix and flips to gain more capital. Any lender suggestions?
Jennifer — 90–100% LTC is possible, but it usually depends less on the lender and more on how the deal is structured.
Most lenders that will go that high are looking at:
• Strong margin (purchase + rehab well below ARV)
• Clean exit plan
• Either prior flip experience or additional support (reserves, partner, cross-collateral, etc.)
Since you’ve done buy-and-holds, the biggest question lenders will ask is how your experience translates to managing timelines, contractors, and resale strategy.
Sometimes it’s not about finding “a 100% lender,” but about structuring the deal so the risk makes sense at that leverage.
If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to compare notes on one of the deals you’re looking at and help you think through how lenders will underwrite it.

Hi Jennifer, give me a call, we can get there with some experience.

I am not far from Reading and have made a number of loans to a few investors in Reading. I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more about your investing strategy, experience and what you're looking to do in the future.
Feel free reach out directly and we can connect and chat further.

Happy to connect. We offer up to 100% LTC (purchase + rehab)
Do you already have a deal under contract, or are you lining up financing first?
100% rehab and 90% purchase is possible in some cases, but it usually depends on experience, liquidity, and how strong the deal is (ARV and margin especially).
If you’re open to it, happy to jump on a quick call and go over your goals and see what structure would realistically fit.

90–100% LTC is possible with some hard money/RTL lenders, but it usually depends heavily on borrower experience, liquidity, credit, and the strength of the deal.
Most lenders offering higher leverage will still look closely at:
purchase price vs ARV
rehab budget
borrower experience
credit/FICO
liquidity/reserves
scope of work
exit strategy
max LTARV
If you have buy-and-hold experience but are newer to flips, you may still qualify, but terms may be tighter than someone with completed flips. I’d compare not just leverage, but also points, rate, draw process, fees, and extension terms.
