CA Market

Bridge, Flip & Construction
Loans in California

Bridge, fix & flip, construction, renovation and DSCR loans for investors buying in California, from the US or abroad, on the same terms. $1M to $5M. Foreign nationals welcome.

Passy Capital finances investors who buy, renovate and build residential investment property: single-family houses, 2-4 unit buildings, condos and townhomes, and small apartment buildings up to 9 units. Bridge, fix & flip and ground-up construction loans come first, then renovation, with DSCR as the hold. Loans run from $1M to $5M, with a term sheet in 24 to 48 hours and closing in about two weeks on a clean file.

California prices place many residential investor deals inside that range, from renovations of older houses and small multi-unit buildings to ground-up spec homes. In Los Angeles in particular, investors renovate and resell existing houses and build new single-family product for sale. Bridge loans go up to 80% LTV, fix & flip and renovation up to 90% of cost, construction up to 85% of cost, and DSCR up to 80% LTV.

Investors based outside the United States borrow on the same terms, through a US LLC, with no US credit history required. All lending is business-purpose, on non-owner-occupied property, and the fee is 1-2% of the loan, paid at closing, with no upfront fees.

California Market Highlights

Reassessment at Purchase

Under Proposition 13, property is reassessed to market value when it changes ownership or new construction is completed, and annual increases in assessed value are then capped at 2%. Underwrite a hold on the tax bill at your purchase price, not the seller's.

Non-Judicial Foreclosure

California loans are typically secured by a deed of trust and foreclosed through a trustee's sale under Civil Code section 2924 and following, without a court case.

Los Angeles Transfer Tax on Larger Sales

The City of Los Angeles adds a transfer tax (Measure ULA) on sales above a threshold that is adjusted each year, currently about $5.4 million. Check it against the exit price of a spec home or flip.

Spec Builds and Flips

Ground-up spec homes and renovate-and-resell projects are financed with construction loans up to 85% of cost and fix & flip loans up to 90% of cost, with draws released against completed work.

Buy-and-Hold

Renovated single-family and small multi-unit rentals can be refinanced from a bridge loan into a DSCR loan sized on the property's rent.

Same Terms From Abroad

A foreign investor buying California residential property borrows through a US LLC on the same terms as a US investor, with no US credit history required.
