19 June 2025 | 9 replies
And now- I met local guys who we know and trust that do fix and flip.. so I just need to funds for the loan.The loan calculations- I've found a lender that lends 90% of property price and 100% of rehab - https://vistacapitalsolutions.com/financial-options/fix-and-...so for a 120k property, I estimate 20k of repair.- I borrow 140k- pay 10% down (14k)- pay  3% closing costs of $3,600- the amount due after 140k has the down payment applied is 126k.- 10% of 126k must be in the bank when you borrow so $12,600 must be showing in savings.- the bank account must also show 6 months of interest payments .. at 1% per month that is $7,560... so $12,600 + $7560 = $20k- so adding down payment, 10% showing, 6 mos payments showing and closing costs, you need 37k in the bank before they will loan you the 140k.Most fix and flips take about 6 months to do, that's why they have those loan terms.
