Been tracking our pipeline this week and noticed a pattern. A lot of the deals moving fastest had two things in common. No appraisal required, and the borrower had zero flipping experience.
That second part surprises people. A lot of investors assume they need a track record before a lender will even look at them. Turns out that's not always true.
A few things worth knowing about programs structured this way: ~No appraisal required* ~No prior experience required ~Financing up to 90/100* ~Minimum FICO 680, depending on state
If you've been holding off on your first flip because you thought experience was a requirement, might be worth a second look.
