At Ridge Street Capital, we’re more than just a national lender—we're the lender of choice for West Virginia real estate investors looking for fast, reliable funding. This section is here to give you a transparent view into how we evaluate fix and flip opportunities across the state. Here’s how we evaluate your deal:

1.  We Prioritize Profitable Projects

We fund deals with strong potential for success. That typically means:

  • Loan amounts up to 75% of After Repair Value
  • ‍Projects with at least 20% projected ROI
  • ‍An ARV backed by credible sold comps, not inflated listings
We’re looking for win-win projects where our borrowers will be successful.

2. We Match Rehab Scope With Experience

As an investor builds their track record, access to financing on larger more complex projects is provided:

  • Intermediate flippers with 1-2 completes projects, can pursue heavy rehabs (Rehab <= 100% Of Purchase)

This is some text inside of a div block.

3.  We Reward Creditworthy Borrowers

While our loans are asset-based, your credit still matters.

  • Strong credit is the highest indicators of successful fix and flips across our protfolio
  • Real Estate investors often have high credit utilization which can bring down their scores - this is acceptable for underwriting
If you're credit score is above 660 we'll be happy to work with you and your team.

4.  Lending in Strong West Virginia Markets

Leverage is adjusted based on local market strength.
Up to 75% LTARV in West Virginia's strongest housing markets and more conservative (e.g., 65% LTARV) in declining submarkets.
‍
In 2025, West Virginia’s main markets such as Charleston, Morgantown, and Huntington have held steady. Ridge Street does not flag any submarkets in the state for reduced leverage, and we’re comfortable offering our maximum LTV statewide.
