Pennsylvania Fix & Flip FAQs

PA foreclosure timeline?

Judicial. 12-15 months typical from filing to sheriff's sale. Among the slower judicial states.

PA contractor registration?

PA Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration required for any residential work over $500 cumulative. Different from a license - registration only.

Philly rowhome flip considerations?

Older rowhomes often have shared walls, party-wall easements, and historic-district restrictions. Title work and permitting in old-Philly neighborhoods (Fishtown, Brewerytown, Point Breeze) takes longer than suburban.

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.
