Fix & Flip Loans in Roanoke, VA for Purchase + Rehab Financing

Purchase + Rehab. One Loan.

A fix and flip loan in Roanoke 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 Roanoke specifics: Victorian and bungalow rehab in Old Southwest and Wasena. 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 Roanoke flip actually involves

The stock is pre-war Victorians and bungalows in Old Southwest and Roanoke Court, post-war ranches across the valley, and a student rental base in Blacksburg. Victorian and bungalow rehab in Old Southwest and Wasena. Slate roofs, knob-and-tube and lead paint are standard.

Virginia is non-judicial with a fast trustee sale. Roanoke runs at a lower basis than the Northern Virginia and Richmond metros, and the Carilion medical complex produces a stable professional tenant base. Historic-district rules apply in Old Southwest.

Where Roanoke flips go wrong

Pre-war stock in Roanoke means the scope is rarely what the walkthrough suggests. Budget for the mechanicals — wiring, supply lines, drain lines — before the finishes, and expect the inspector to find what the seller did not disclose.

Scenarios we place in Roanoke

Purchase plus rehab in one loan
Sized on total project cost and ARV, whichever binds — in Old Southwest and Grandin Village the ARV cap usually governs; on pre-war Victorians and bungalows in Old Southwest and Raleigh Court the cost side does. Rehab sits in a holdback and releases in draws after inspection; you carry the work between them.
Pre-war rowhouse or bungalow with unknown mechanicals
Contingency of 15 to 20 percent on the line items, a licensed GC, and a draw schedule that puts the mechanicals first. Sources that write older stock expect it.
First flip in Roanoke
Several sources write first-timers at lower leverage with a licensed GC attached; several require completed projects. A first deal in Raleigh Court or Salem 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 Roanoke the tenant base around Carilion Clinic and the Virginia Tech Carilion medical school 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 Roanoke metro — Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Cave Spring — to renovate and resell or refinance, with the liquidity to carry work between draws.
What commonly disqualifies in Roanoke
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 from the same era of construction, 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.
