Fix and Flip Loans in Santa Monica
Santa Monica is a small, almost entirely built-out beach city, with large single-family homes north of Montana, older cottages and bungalows in Ocean Park and Sunset Park, and a large stock of rent-controlled apartments. Much of the city near the water falls within the California coastal zone.
Flipping in Santa Monica usually means buying an older cottage or 1950s house on a valuable lot and either renovating heavily or rebuilding. Rent-controlled tenants in multi-unit properties can limit the strategy considerably, so occupancy needs to be clear before purchase. The city also charges a higher transfer tax on more expensive sales, which affects resale net. We size the loan on after-repair value.
