Indiana Fix & Flip FAQs
Indiana foreclosure timeline?
Judicial. 9-12 months from filing typical. Mid-pack speed for judicial states.
IN contractor licensing for flips?
Indiana does not license general contractors at the state level. Indianapolis and other major cities have local licensing requirements. Most flip lenders require licensed GC documentation regardless.
IN property tax considerations?
IN property tax has constitutional caps (1% homesteads, 2% rentals, 3% commercial). Investor properties at the 2% cap. Carrying costs reasonable on extended rehabs.
General fix & flip questions
How is the loan amount calculated?
Two caps apply at the same time: a percentage of purchase price (often 85–90%) plus 100% of rehab budget, AND a percentage of the as-completed value (ARV), typically 70–75%. The lower of the two caps governs.
Do I need experience to get a fix and flip loan?
No, but pricing improves with experience. Most lenders tier rates by completed flips in the last 24–36 months: 0 flips, 1–2, 3–5, 6–10, 10+. First-time flippers with a strong contractor and reserves can still qualify.
How are rehab funds disbursed?
Rehab is held in escrow and released through a draw process — typically 3–6 draws based on completion of scoped line items, with an inspector verifying each draw.
