About Our 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flip Loans in Hawaii
2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flips, while still broadly accessible, are also more of a niche product than simple Single Family Fix & Flip Loans. This means that there might be more specific constraints & requirements to qualify.
Similar to all our Fix & Flip Loans, these are going to be in the 12 – 18 month range at most.
Generally, our lowest balance 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flip Loans are going to be in the $70k – $100k range. Plus, unless you’re an ultra-qualified Borrower we’ve worked with before, you’ll probably need to keep a lower LTV (in the 65% – 80% range), meaning you’ll have a bit more skin in the game than on some of the high leverage single family loan programs.
The good news is, even 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flip Loans can be attained by Borrowers in Hawaii with less than perfect credit. For repeat clients, there is the possibility of using a no- or low-doc program for a 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flip, but it will be pretty rare.
Pros & Cons of Duplex, Triplex, or Quadplex Fix & Flips in HI (2 – 4 Units)
There are of course risks to 2 – 4 unit fix & flips. The market is much smaller, since now you’re only selling to other investors (as opposed to general retail homeowners).
However, the positives of including 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flips in your deal making repertoire far outweigh the negatives. You’ll get better price stability, partially thanks to the higher income-to-expense ratio when compared to most SFR rentals. Plus, your maintenance costs will be reduced, with less core home systems to fail.
But even these practical Pros & Cons miss out on the single most important factor that makes 2 – 4 unit multi-plexes such a special property type (compared to SFRs or 5+ unit apartment buildings).
What Makes 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flips Special?
While their practical benefits are numerous, the crucial uniqueness of 2 – 4 unit real estate properties in Hawaii is as a result of regulation.
Specifically:
According to the US Federal Government, 1, 2, 3, and 4 unit properties are all basically considered “Single Family.”
That means you can still get a standard, FHA insured bank mortgage on up to a 4-unit multi-plex.
FHA insured mortgage on 5+ units? No way!
This is great news for real estate investors, because it makes the financing market for these types of properties significantly more competitive than the options in the 5+ unit apartment building range. More lender competition = better loan rates & terms. Better financing options = more stable market of buyers (to sell your building when it’s time to exercise the “Flip” part of Fix & Flip).
These facts are what makes 2 – 4 Unit Fix & Flip Hard Money Loans special.
We only get paid when your deal closes, so we want to get you funded as much as you do.
