Austin grew faster than almost any American city over the last decade, and while prices moved with it, the east side, the north central neighborhoods and the suburbs still carry the older houses that renovators want.

01 - Austin Market

Austin: a growth market that still has older stock to renovate.

Austin listings that ask for cash are usually the 1960s and 1970s houses east of I-35 and in the north central and south Austin neighborhoods, plus the suburban stock in Round Rock, Pflugerville and Kyle that has not been updated since it was built. The fix and flip loan funds the purchase and the budget in one loan, 10% down with a completed project behind you, and pays the renovation in draws.

Austin rents softened as new supply arrived, so the DSCR ratio needs checking on a single-family rental at Austin prices; small multifamily and the suburbs usually cover more comfortably. The bridge loan handles the purchase that must close fast and the refinance of a maturing loan, and the takeout into a DSCR loan comes from the same team. Every Austin listing in the book is priced on these programs at its list price.

Do you lend on fix and flips in Austin?

Yes. Our fix and flip loan funds the purchase and the renovation together: 10% down with at least one completed project in three years, 20% on a first flip, the renovation paid in draws as the work completes.

Do you offer DSCR rental loans in Austin?

Yes. DSCR loans in Texas are 30-year fixed rental loans qualified on the rent, for a single property or a portfolio. Austin rents are steady but prices are high for Texas; suburbs and small multifamily carry the ratio more easily than a single-family rental in the city.
