These mistakes trip up even experienced investors.
Fix-and-flip investing remains one of the most profitable paths in real estate. However, in today’s market shaped by rising interest rates, tighter credit, and fiercer competition, investors must move smarter, faster, and more strategically. Unfortunately, a few common missteps continue to trip up even the most experienced players.
One of the most common mistakes? Slow financing. Traditional lenders require more documentation, longer underwriting, and often appraisals that delay closings by 10–15 business days. In fast-moving markets, that’s the difference between winning and losing a deal. Dominion Financial eliminates wasted time with 48-hour closings, no appraisals, and in-house underwriting, so you don’t miss your window.
Another pitfall is tying up personal capital. Many investors still fund deals out of pocket, limiting flexibility and overexposing themselves to risk. With Dominion Financial’s 100% Loan-to-Cost (LTC) financing, you can fund both the purchase and the renovation without investing your own money. That preserves cash, increases project capacity, and protects you in today’s interest rate environment.
Finally, conventional lending is falling short for many investors. As banks tighten up, private lending is becoming the go-to, offering agility, investor-aligned underwriting, and certainty of execution. Dominion Financial was built for this shift to faster, more flexible capital, with fix-and-flip, rental, and ground-up financing tailored for today’s market conditions.
By avoiding these three mistakes, you can stay competitive, preserve capital, and close more deals with confidence in 2025.
