Short-term rehab financing for Florida investors buying, renovating, and selling investment properties in coastal, suburban, and vacation-rental markets. Review the purchase price, rehab budget, ARV, draw plan, and exit strategy before you write the offer.
A Florida rehab-loan page built around the deal, not just the borrower.
Fix and flip lending is short-term, asset-focused financing for non-owner-occupied investment properties. The core review is the project: purchase price, rehab scope, ARV support, borrower strength, reserves, timeline, title, insurance, and exit strategy.
Florida investors use this financing across Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Miami-Dade, and secondary markets where speed, contractor control, and realistic ARV assumptions matter.
Who It Fits
Florida investors who usually ask about fix and flip financing.
Experienced flippers
Investors who need a repeatable financing lane for purchase, rehab draws, and sale or refinance exits.
BRRRR investors
Borrowers rehabbing a property before renting it and refinancing into a DSCR loan after stabilization.
First-time rehab buyers
Newer investors with a strong deal, reserves, contractor plan, and realistic scope who need the file reviewed before moving fast.
Deal Review
What matters on a Florida flip deal.
ARV support
The after-repair value should be backed by realistic comparable sales, property condition, neighborhood demand, and the final renovation level.
Rehab scope
Line-item budget, contractor plan, permits where needed, contingency, and draw timing all matter more than a back-of-napkin estimate.
Exit strategy
Sell, refinance into DSCR, or hold as a rental. The exit should be clear before the loan closes, not figured out when the term is almost over.
Florida carrying costs
Insurance, flood zones, HOA dues, utilities, taxes, and seasonality can change the spread quickly in Florida markets. Review total project cost before chasing the headline ARV.
Estimate only. Does not include all possible fees, points, interest, draw costs, taxes, delays, utilities, overruns, concessions, or market changes. Final terms require underwriting and are subject to credit approval.
Process
How a Florida flip loan review works.
1
Deal intake
Send the address, purchase contract or target price, scope, budget, photos, and expected ARV.
2
ARV review
Compare the proposed finished property against realistic sale comps and renovation level.
3
Budget and draws
Review the rehab line items, contractor plan, timeline, contingency, and draw process.
4
Close and execute
Clear title, insurance, appraisal/BPO, conditions, and close if the file qualifies.
FAQs
Florida fix and flip loan questions.
No. Fix and flip loans are short-term acquisition and rehab financing. DSCR loans are generally longer-term rental-property financing based on property cash flow.
Possibly. The fix and flip loan can cover the purchase and rehab phase, while the takeout refinance needs to qualify separately, often through a DSCR review once the property is rental-ready.
Many investor rehab loans are entity-friendly, but the LLC documents, guarantor, vesting, title, and underwriting requirements need review.
They may, but experience, reserves, contractor support, credit, deal quality, and scope clarity matter. First-time projects need a tighter review, not blind speed.

My experience with Lynette was the best and easiest experience it could’ve possibly been when being a first time home buyer. She’s very kind, communicative, reliable, and so much more! It made the whole process that much less stressful and overwhelming. So blessed to have had her on my side!

I had an excellent experience working with my texana bank mortgage from start to finish. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire mortgage process feel much easier than I expected.
They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about helping me reach my goals.
If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile for their clients, I highly recommend them. I truly appreciate all of their hard work and would definitely work with them again!

Adam was phenomenal from start to finish! He was friendly and professional. He assisted me every step of the way, walking me through the process with ease. He was always there for whatever questions I had. He was very, very patient and always reached out to me in a timely manner if I contacted him and he was unavailable at the time. Moreover, he made me feel as if he cared for more than just my loan, but me as a person!!! Texana is blessed to have him as an associate!!

Where to really start. Adam walked me through everything and put me at ease. I have had some bad experiences with other companies so I was digging and looking for any red flag. There was none with him and his direct talk is what did it for me. Someone that is real and just says what it is. No false hope or misdirection at anytime.
I would recommend him to anyone and definitely Someone looking for honesty and caring. The communication is top notch and a true professional.
Respectfully,
Clay

Adam McCormick is an absolute professional in every sense of the word. I will NEVER use any other loan officer for my financials other than Adam as long as he is in the business. His work as my loan officer was exceptional. Throughout the process, he always responded to an e-mail, responded to a text, called right back if not answering immediately. He always made you feel as though you were his only client. There was never the impression he had more important things to do other than speak with you. He worked with us through a death in the family, personal issues, and numerous other challenges. It's possible other loan officers would have given up on us during this process, but Adam stuck with us through it all. His work ethic is amazing. He is an expert in his craft. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation, he has redefined what right looks like in this business.

Texana Bank was there for us throughout the entire process. Their personableness, as well, their professionalism. As a financial institution it was nice to know that while obtaining a loan, we had a safe place to relay. They are absolutely “by the book” and at the same time makes the process easier to participate. The hospitality and genuine concern as clients was overwhelming of which we will always consider Texana Bank first, before mostly any other financial institution.

I’ve worked with mini bankers before and I used to do them over a decade ago myself and my experience that I had with Chad was nothing short of phenomenal. He is a wonderful Banker does a very diligent job and did not miss any moments of reassuring me where my loan was and closing I couldn’t say enough good things about him and I hope if I ever need to go through this stressful process again he is still in business to take care of me
