Checklist

Fix-and-Flip Loan Intake Checklist

A broker checklist for collecting the deal details lenders usually need to evaluate fix-and-flip and rehab loan requests.

Borrower and experience

  • Borrower or entity name and contact information.
  • Prior completed fix-and-flip projects.
  • Contractor relationships and project management plan.
  • Liquidity, reserves, and borrower contribution if requested.

Property and purchase details

  • Property address, type, and occupancy.
  • Purchase contract, purchase price, and closing deadline.
  • Current condition, photos, inspection notes, and title contact.
  • Comparable sales and neighborhood context.

Rehab plan

The rehab plan is central to lender review. It should be specific enough for a lender to understand cost, timeline, and execution risk.

  • Scope of work by category.
  • Detailed renovation budget.
  • Contractor bid or borrower-managed plan.
  • Estimated timeline and draw expectations.

Deal numbers

Acquisition

Purchase price, down payment, seller credits, closing costs, and acquisition timeline.

Value

Current value, after-repair value, comparable sales, and appraisal if available.

Loan request

Requested loan amount, rehab holdback, borrower contribution, and desired term.

Exit

Expected sale price, refinance plan, listing plan, or rental conversion strategy.

Exit strategy and lender package

Lenders want to know how the loan will be repaid. Brokers should collect a clear sale, refinance, or rental exit strategy before requesting quotes.
