Here is where you will find quick, straightforward answers to the most common questions real estate investors ask about funding fix & flips, rentals, land, construction, and portfolio projects. This FAQ helps you understand loan options, requirements, timelines, and how REP Financial supports you through the entire funding process.
What does REP Financial do?
REP Financial is a private money loan consultancy focused on real estate investors. We help fix-and-flippers, BRRRR investors, buy-and-hold landlords, contractors becoming investors, and small developers find the right funding for their projects. We’re not a direct lender; instead, we work with a network of private and institutional lenders to match you with the best options for your specific deal and goals.
What types of loans do you arrange?
We focus on investor-focused and business-purpose loans, including:
REP Financial acts in a capital introduction role only and does not originate or negotiate loan terms. All referrals are lender-paid and subject to lender underwriting.
Do you lend on primary residences or owner-occupied homes?
No. REP Financial only advises on investment and business-purpose loans. We do not coordinate traditional residential mortgages for owner-occupied properties.
What areas or states do you work in?
We work with investors in multiple U.S. states through our lender network. State availability may vary by loan type, property type, and lender guidelines. If you’re unsure whether your property location is eligible, provide the address and we’ll confirm options for you.
What credit score do I need to qualify?
Minimum credit requirements depend on the loan type and lender:
A stronger credit profile may help with better terms, but we also work with investors who have recent challenges and need more creative strategies. We’ll review your full scenario, not just a score.
Whether you’re planning a fix & flip, BRRRR, rental purchase, or development project, we can help you understand what’s fundable and how to structure your deal.
How fast can I close?
Closing speed depends on your readiness and loan type. As a general guideline:
The fastest closings happen when we receive needed documents quickly and the property information is complete and accurate.
What documents will I need to provide?
Documentation requirements vary by loan type and lender, but most investor loans will require some combination of:
We’ll provide a simple, deal-specific checklist so you know exactly what is needed before we submit your file to any lender.
How does REP Financial get paid?
REP Financial is typically compensated as a referring agent, at closing, through lender-approved referral fees or points that are disclosed in your loan documents. Compensation structures may vary by lender, loan type, and state regulations.
You will always see how costs are structured before you commit to moving forward, and our goal is to ensure that the value of your funding solution clearly justifies the cost.
Will you pull my credit? Is it a hard or soft inquiry?
REP Financial does not act as a credit reporting agency. However, many lenders will require a credit check during underwriting. Some use soft pulls initially, while others use hard pulls.
Whenever possible, we’ll let you know in advance how a specific lender handles credit inquiries so you can make an informed decision before proceeding.
Can you help if I’ve already been turned down by a bank or another lender?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us after being declined or limited by traditional banks or other lenders. We can often:
Approval is never guaranteed, but we’ll be transparent about what’s realistically possible and what steps could strengthen your future loan profile.
Do you offer gap funding or help with down payments?
Traditional lenders generally require borrowers to bring their own funds or documented equity to the table. However, we can sometimes help you explore options such as:
Not every deal will qualify for these solutions, but we can walk through what’s realistic based on your experience, finances, and the strength of the project.
Can you work with foreign nationals or investors who live outside the U.S.?
Some of our lender partners do offer programs for foreign nationals, subject to specific guidelines. Approval and terms may differ from U.S.-based borrowers. If you are a foreign national investor, please contact us with details about your residency, income, and planned investment so we can quickly determine if a foreign national program may fit.
Is there a cost or obligation for an initial consultation?
No. Your initial consultation and Deal Review are offered at no cost and without obligation. The purpose of that conversation is to understand your goals, review your scenario, and outline what funding options may be available before you decide whether to move forward.
What is the best way to get started?
