Fix & Flip
Up to 100% Loan-to-Purchase & 100% of renovation costs.
In order to get 100% Loan-to-Purchase your Acquisition cost can be no more than 65% of the ARV. And then after successful completion of a deal you could be promoted to a 70% ARV on your next transaction.
Example:
$1,000,000 Acquisition Price.
$1,550,000 After Repair Value
ARV x .65 = $1,007,500 which would support a $1,000,000 advance for the acquisition.
Term: 9 months. Interest Rate starts at 10% Interest-Only. Interest will only be charged on the outstanding principal balance of the loan.
Repair Budget: This is a low to moderate repair program. As such, the repair budget on any
given transaction is typically less than or equal to 30% of the Total Loan Commitment.
Maximum Transaction: $1,250,000 (Purchase & Repairs)
Bank Statement: A current bank statement on each Borrower. $30,000 min required for each loan approval.
Credit Report: Minimum credit score of 620. Authorization is required from the Borrower to make a soft inquiry or “soft pull” which will not affect the Borrower’s credit score.

Why Nationwide?
Established – 1997
Funded to Date – $5+ billion funded
Closed Loans – 10,000+
Experience: We have been around for over 20 years and have seen a thing or two. There is no substitute for Experience.
Programs: Some companies only have a limited credit box. If you don’t qualify for those programs then you need to start over. For example, some Borrowers have come to us thinking they needed a Private or Hard money loan, and we were able to get them a Non-Prime product with much better terms. Options are always good to have.
Service: We strive to treat every Borrower the way we want to be treated. Under-promise and always over-deliver. By harnessing the latest technology & skills from a talented team, nothing beats that.
