Our Approach to Assessing Hard Money Loans in Iowa

At Investors Mortgage Group, we’re committed to providing fast, reliable funding for Nebraska real estate investors. This section offers a clear look at how we carefully evaluate fix-and-flip opportunities throughout the state, helping investors make informed decisions and maximize their returns.

We Prioritize Profitable Projects

We focus on funding deals with strong potential for success. This typically includes:

Loan amounts up to 75% of After Repair Value (ARV)

Projects with at least 20% projected ROI

ARV backed by credible sold comps, not inflated listings

At Investors Mortgage Group, we aim for win-win projects that give our borrowers the best chance for success.

We Match Rehab Scope With Experience

As investors build their track record, they gain access to financing for larger and more complex projects:

Beginner investors: Moderate rehabs (rehab ≤ 50% of purchase price)

Intermediate investors (1–2 completed projects): Heavy rehabs (rehab ≤ 100% of purchase price)

Experienced investors (3–5+ completed projects): Expansion projects

Most successful house flippers and BRRR investors follow a repeatable strategy with light and moderate rehabs.

We Reward Creditworthy Borrowers

Even though our loans are asset-based, your credit matters:

Strong credit is one of the best indicators of successful fix-and-flip projects

High credit utilization is common among real estate investors and is generally acceptable for underwriting

Credit scores above 660 are preferred, and we’re happy to work with you and your team

Lending in Strong Oklahoma Submarkets

Leverage is adjusted according to local market conditions:

Up to 75% LTARV in Oklahoma’s strongest housing markets

More conservative leverage (e.g., 65% LTARV) in declining submarkets

In 2025, Oklahoma’s major metros—Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Norman—have shown steady fundamentals. At Investors Mortgage Group, we are comfortable offering maximum LTV in both large cities and smaller secondary markets for experienced and first-time investors, as long as the deal makes financial sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Hard Money Loans Work in Iowa?

Hard money loans in Iowa are short-term, property-backed financing options commonly used by real estate investors to buy, renovate, or develop investment properties. Loan approval is primarily determined by the property’s current value, projected after-repair value (ARV), the investor’s experience, and credit profile, rather than personal income or tax returns.

Are Fix and Flip Loans the Same as Hard Money Loans?

fix and flip loans fall under the category of hard money loans. They are specifically structured to help real estate investors quickly finance the purchase and renovation of distressed properties, with the goal of selling them for a profit.

How Fast Can I Close a Hard Money Loan?

In Iowa, hard money loans can often be closed in as little as 7–10 business days, depending on factors such as property appraisal timing and document processing. This fast turnaround makes hard money financing a strong option for investors who need to move quickly on competitive deals.

How is the loan-to-value (LTV) calculated for hard money loans in Iowa?

The loan amount is determined using several factors related to the project and investor profile. In general, first-time investors may qualify for financing of up to 80% of the purchase price plus 100% of the renovation costs. More experienced investors can access higher leverage, with financing of up to 90% of the purchase price along with 100% of the rehab budget.

Can a hard money loan be used for rental properties in Iowa?

Yes, a hard money loan can be used to acquire and renovate a rental property in Iowa. Once the property is stabilized, it can be refinanced into a DSCR loan. If the property is already rent-ready at the time of purchase, hard money financing may not be necessary, and you can move directly into DSCR financing.
