Common Financing Questions

Florida Real Estate Loan Program Questions

What is the difference between a bridge loan and a fix-and-flip loan?

Both may provide short-term business-purpose real estate financing, but a fix-and-flip loan is generally associated with an acquisition and renovation strategy, while bridge financing can cover a broader range of transitional situations such as acquisition timing, stabilization, lease-up, refinance or sale.

What type of loan is commonly used for a rental property?

Investors planning to hold a property for rental income may consider DSCR or other rental-property financing. The appropriate structure depends on the property's income profile, condition, borrower, transaction and long-term strategy.

Can JumpStart finance renovation or construction projects?

JumpStart offers financing paths for qualified renovation, fix-and-flip and ground-up construction transactions. Project scope, budget, experience, property economics and exit strategy are important parts of the review.

Do I need to know which loan program I want before submitting a deal?

No. You can start by submitting the property and investment strategy. JumpStart can then review the transaction and determine which available financing path may be appropriate.

Are JumpStart loans for owner-occupied homes?

JumpStart focuses on business-purpose real estate financing for investors, rehabbers, builders and developers rather than personal, family or household-purpose borrowing.

Does JumpStart lend throughout Florida?

JumpStart provides business-purpose real estate financing across Florida's major investment markets, including South Florida, the Treasure Coast, Space Coast, Central Florida, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Southwest Florida, subject to program eligibility.
