Fix-and-Flip Loans Built Around the Renovation
Why Investors Choose Upright Lending
One dedicated team, application to payoff
You get named people who know your deals, your style, and your pipeline, reachable by call, text, or email. No call centers and no ticket queues. You never repeat yourself and you never get bounced around.
Draws funded in under two days
The clock starts when you open the request, not when an inspection clears. Submit in the Borrower Portal, complete a virtual inspection or we send someone out, and the wire goes out. No chasing, no crew standing around waiting on a lender.
Leverage that rewards your track record
Up to 92.5% of total cost and 75% of after-repair value. Interest reserve can be included in the cost basis, so your day-one cash in the deal goes down further. No prior experience required to get funded, and your leverage improves as you close projects with us.
Construction-forward underwriting
Our credit team reads your budget line by line for feasibility, scope integrity, and sequencing. Most private lenders underwrite the paper. We underwrite the project, which is why our terms hold from quote to close.
Incentives aligned with your outcome
Our internal comp is tied to how loans perform, not how fast we push paper. That is why our team pushes back on a thin budget instead of funding it and hoping. We do not make money when your project struggles. We want you to succeed.
