Fix-and-flip loans in Worcester, MA

Purchase and rehab financing for Worcester and Central Massachusetts investors from a lender headquartered in Massachusetts. Close in as little as 7 days.

Financing Worcester renovations

Fast Flip Capital lends nationwide, and Central Massachusetts is close to home for us. Worcester is one of New England's largest cities, and its older multi-family housing gives investors a steady supply of renovation projects.

What investors buy in Worcester

  • Triple-deckers. Worcester is known for its three-deckers, found throughout neighborhoods like Main South, Piedmont, Vernon Hill, Grafton Hill and Quinsigamond Village. They fit our 2–4 unit program.
  • Two-families across the East Side and around Shrewsbury Street, Green Island and Union Hill.
  • Single-family colonials, capes and ranches on the West Side and in areas like Tatnuck, Greendale and Burncoat, plus the surrounding suburbs.

Massachusetts rules to budget for

  • Lead paint. Much of Worcester's housing predates 1978. The Massachusetts Lead Law requires deleading when a child under six lives in the home, and buyers must receive lead disclosures. Plan lead-safe work into your budget and schedule.
  • Smoke and CO certificate. Massachusetts generally requires a smoke and carbon monoxide compliance certificate from the local fire department before a sale.
  • Permits. Renovation permits in the city go through Worcester's Inspectional Services. Structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work needs permits and licensed trades, and permitted work makes draws smoother.
  • Title 5 in the suburbs. Some surrounding towns rely on private septic systems, which generally need a Title 5 inspection at sale.
  • Energy code. Massachusetts energy code requirements, including stretch-code provisions adopted in many communities, can affect insulation, windows and mechanical work on larger renovations.

How our loans fit Worcester deals

Worcester multi-family flips often need work in every unit: kitchens, baths, systems and egress. Financing up to 100% of the rehab helps preserve your cash for the next project, and we can close in as little as 7 days when you're competing for a deal. The total loan is capped at up to 75% of after-repair value, so bring solid comps.
