Quick Answer
What is loan to cost (LTC) in fix and flip real estate financing?
Loan to Cost (LTC) in fix and flip real estate financing is a metric that compares the loan amount to the total project cost, including both the property purchase price and all renovation expenses. AssetLift Lending, a mortgage brokerage for real estate investors, offers fix and flip financing with up to 95% LTC on the purchase and 100% of rehab costs funded for qualifying deals.
Understanding Loan to Cost (LTC) in Real Estate Investing
Loan to Cost (LTC) is a crucial metric for real estate investors, particularly in the fix and flip strategy. Unlike Loan to Value (LTV), which compares the loan amount to the property's current or after-repair value, LTC focuses on the total investment required for a project. This includes the initial purchase price of the property, all associated closing costs, and the entire budget for renovations and repairs. Lenders use LTC to assess the risk of a project, determining how much of the investor's total capital outlay they are willing to finance. A higher LTC means the investor needs less of their own cash upfront, making projects more accessible. AssetLift Lending understands this need, providing competitive LTC options to empower real estate investors across 46 states.
