Direct answer

Hard money or private money for 7–12 months at 10–12% + 2–3 points.

Expanded explanation

Speed beats rate on flips. A 30-day hard-money close on a distressed deal often pencils better than a 45-day conventional that loses the deal.

Examples

  • $200k purchase + $40k rehab: hard money 12% / 2 pts.
