What to Know About Rancho Santa Margarita

Rancho Santa Margarita is one of the youngest cities in Orange County, incorporated in 2000, and most of it was built as a master-planned community from the mid-1980s on. Condos and townhomes cluster near the town center and the private lake, while Dove Canyon and Robinson Ranch hold larger detached homes in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains.

Townhomes and detached houses that still have their builder-grade original kitchens are the realistic flip stock in Rancho Santa Margarita. Floor plans are usually sound, so the money goes into finishes, flooring, windows and HVAC. Association rules keep exterior changes modest. One loan covers the purchase and the rehab, and the amount is based on what the home should appraise for once the work is done.

Straight Answers

Fix and Flip Loans in Rancho Santa Margarita: Questions

Is there enough margin in flipping a 1990s RSM townhome?

Yes. We’re a California-licensed direct lender headquartered in Glendale, and we underwrite Orange County deals directly, including Rancho Santa Margarita, rather than handing them to an out-of-state call center.
