Mortgage & Commercial Lending News.

Private hard-money lenders have been a significant financing force behind the Fix-and-Flip (F&F) business model, which has risen to prominence among real-estate investors during the past 10 to 15 years. Yet, given the hefty increase in mortgage rates during 2022, and a somewhat cooling housing demand, real estate investors might be hesitant about starting an F&F process during 2023.

Some people assumed that the pandemic would stop the real estate market in its tracks, but if anything, the complete opposite is true. Whether you're a realtor or interested in investment properties, business is booming and will likely continue the upswing well into 2021. 

Houston is one of the hottest housing markets in the United States, and If you live here, you're not going to want to miss out on the current boom. Plenty of flippers and other types of investors are looking for a way to secure their next property, but some are coming up short on funds or not getting funded fast enough.
