Fix & Flip Loans in El Paso, TX for Purchase + Rehab Financing

Purchase + Rehab. One Loan.

A fix and flip loan in El Paso funds purchase and renovation in one short-term, asset-based loan — hard money, underwritten on the deal and the after-repair value rather than your income. The El Paso specifics: Low-basis flips in the Eastside and Northeast where renovation frequently approaches purchase price. Leverage, rehab caps and experience rules vary more between lenders than any other criterion, which is why LendingStreet places the file across thirty capital sources instead of one.

What a El Paso flip actually involves

The stock is post-war single-family across the Eastside and Northeast, older adobe and brick stock near downtown and the university, and a large military-tenant base around Fort Bliss. Low-basis flips in the Eastside and Northeast where renovation frequently approaches purchase price. Flat roofs and evaporative cooling systems are the regional inspection items.

Texas is non-judicial with a fast trustee sale. Property taxes are high and reassess quickly. El Paso runs at a materially lower basis than the rest of urban Texas, which flatters DSCR but thins comparable data in some neighborhoods. Fort Bliss PCS cycles drive predictable but seasonal turnover.

Where El Paso flips go wrong

Where renovation exceeds purchase price, the loan sizes on total project cost and ARV, not on purchase. Many national lenders cap rehab near half the purchase price and decline the deal on that alone. Several of our sources write it routinely — it is the single most common El Paso placement.

Scenarios we place in El Paso

Purchase plus rehab in one loan
Sized on total project cost and ARV, whichever binds — in Kern Place and Sunset Heights the ARV cap usually governs; on post-war single-family across the Eastside and Northeast the cost side does. Rehab sits in a holdback and releases in draws after inspection; you carry the work between them.
Rehab budget larger than purchase price
Routine in El Paso. Sized on cost and ARV. The lenders that cap rehab at half of purchase are simply not the ones we place it with.
First flip in El Paso
Several sources write first-timers at lower leverage with a licensed GC attached; several require completed projects. A first deal in Mission Hills or Socorro with a documented scope and a local GC is the profile that places most easily.
Hold instead of sell
Fix-to-rent lets you decide at completion. The DSCR takeout is a second underwrite on rent and appraised value — and in El Paso the tenant base around Fort Bliss is what makes that exit credible. Run it before you buy.

Program terms

Standard ranges across our capital sources: $150,000 to $5M+, up to 95% of total project cost, up to 100% of the rehab budget in draws, 6 to 18 months interest-only, 5 to 10 business days to close with 5-day expedited for experienced investors. Full detail and the current rate floor are on the fix and flip loan page. First-time flippers generally see lower leverage.

Who fits, what disqualifies, what to bring

Who fits
Investors buying a non-owner-occupied property anywhere in the El Paso metro — El Paso, Socorro, Horizon City, Canutillo, Anthony and Las Cruces, NM — to renovate and resell or refinance, with the liquidity to carry work between draws.
What commonly disqualifies in El Paso
No line-item scope. No licensed GC on a first project. Liquidity that covers the down payment but not points, third-party costs and carry. An ARV the comparables cannot support.
What you will need
Contract, line-item budget by trade, GC bid and license, ARV comparables, proof of liquidity, entity documents.
What happens next
One application. We place the file against sources whose leverage, rehab cap and experience rule fit, and return terms with the draw schedule spelled out.

Frequently asked questions

How much cash do I need to flip in El Paso?

The gap between the loan and total project cost, plus points, third-party costs and the rehab you carry between draws. The ARV calculator returns it for your numbers.

Do you finance first-time flippers in Texas?

Yes, through sources that write them — lower leverage, licensed GC attached.

My El Paso rehab costs more than the house. Is that fundable?

Yes. Sized on total cost and ARV. Lenders capping rehab at half of purchase are why it gets declined elsewhere.

How fast can it close?

5 to 10 business days on a complete file; 5-day expedited for experienced investors. A BPO in lieu of appraisal is available on bridge structures.

Can I refinance into a rental loan instead of selling in El Paso?

Yes — fix-to-rent. Separate underwrite on rent and appraised value. Run it before you buy.
