The market

Financing a deal in Alpharetta

Alpharetta is the north end of the GA 400 corridor, home to corporate campuses along Windward Parkway, Avalon and a downtown that has been rebuilt around City Center. Families move here for the Fulton County schools, so the housing is mostly 1980s and 1990s two-story subdivision homes with swim and tennis amenities. The typical flip is a dated, well-located house that needs a 2026 kitchen and baths, not a gut job.

In Alpharetta the school attendance zone and the subdivision name do most of the pricing. Two similar houses a mile apart can sell well apart if they feed different high schools. Buy inside a strong zone, keep the scope to what buyers in that subdivision expect, and price against closed sales on the same streets. Redfin has the median flat on a year earlier, so this is not a market that bails out an overpriced resale.

A real term sheet

What an Alpharetta deal looks like on paper

Alpharetta example: $470,000 purchase, $90,000 rehab, $780,000 after repair value, 730 credit, first flip. The engine puts that borrower on the Best Rate program at 9.49%. Picture a 1990s two-story in a swim and tennis neighborhood: the original kitchen and baths replaced, builder brass and carpet gone, new paint and a full exterior inspection. Every number below is what the instant term sheet prints for that deal, so the picture cannot contradict the page.

Loan amount$489,500
Cash to close$92,014
Proof of funds to show$137,741
Where the $92,014 goes
  • Down payment (15% of the purchase)You$70,500

  • Title and closing (estimate at Texas rates)Title$4,754
  • Prepaid interest (15 days)Lender$1,558

Interest while you rehab: $3,159 a month on the $399,500 funded at closing, $3,871 once every draw is out. Proof of funds is cash to close plus $22,500 of rehab reserve and $23,227 of interest reserve.

Origination has a $2,000 minimum on every program and the broker fee is 1% with a $2,000 minimum. These are the numbers the instant term sheet uses as of October 2026. Strong credit, cash and a track record can price lower through specific lenders in the network.

What we check first

Where Alpharetta prices sit right now

Before we price an Alpharetta flip, we look at where sales in the city sit today. Your block can run well above or below these numbers, so treat them as the starting point, not the answer.

Redfin puts the Alpharetta median sale price at $750K for the three months ending September 2026, essentially flat from a year earlier, with homes selling after about 50 days on the market, compared with 41 days a year earlier.

Underwriting

How an Alpharetta file actually gets priced

Loan sizes here run larger than in most of Georgia, and lenders look harder at the ARV when they do. Appraisers stay within the subdivision and school zone and lean on recent closed sales of renovated houses. We send the file with the scope, before and after photos of similar flips nearby and the comps we expect, so the appraiser sees the finish level you are building to.

A lot of north Fulton houses from this era were built with synthetic stucco (EIFS) or hardcoat stucco, and trapped moisture behind it is the costly surprise. Get a stucco inspection before you close. Some homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s still have polybutylene supply lines, which insurers and buyers flag. Most neighborhoods have an HOA with an architectural review for exterior changes, and the city regulates tree removal, so check before you clear a lot or widen a driveway.

The exit

Who buys your finished Alpharetta deal

The finished house sells to a relocating corporate family or a local family moving up within the school zone, usually with conventional or jumbo financing and a sharp inspector. They want an open kitchen, updated primary bath, fresh paint and a clean inspection report. Rent demand is strong from the same corporate workforce, so a DSCR hold is realistic, but the purchase price means you need a strong rent to cover the payment.

Questions

Alpharetta hard money FAQ

Do you lend hard money in Alpharetta?
Yes. Capital Kings is a broker, not a direct lender, so we shop your Alpharetta scenario across a 400+ lender network and bring back real terms instead of one lender’s rate sheet. The programs on this page are the ones whose lenders are licensed in Georgia, and the numbers come from the same engine that prices our instant term sheet.
Which fix and flip programs apply in Alpharetta?
As of October 2026: Best Rate (15% down, from 8.99%); New Investor Program (12.5% down, from 9.75%); First Flip, 10% Down (10% down, from 9.99%); 7.5% Down, 3+ Flips (7.5% down, from 9.99%, 3+ completed flips); 5% Down, 3+ Flips (5% down, from 12.00%, 3+ completed flips); 5% Down, 5+ Flips (5% down, from 9.99%, 5+ completed flips); 100% Financing, 2+ Flips (100% financing when purchase plus rehab fits under 70% of ARV, from 9.50%, 2+ completed flips); Fastest Close (3 days) (10% down, from 11.99%). Rehab is funded 100 percent in draws on every one of them, and we shop the file against the rest of the network before anything is signed.
How fast can an Alpharetta hard money loan close?
As little as 72 hours. Most Alpharetta fix and flip files fund in 5-14 days once the file is complete, and the 72-hour programs close that fast when title and insurance are ready. The First Flip, 10% Down program and the 7.5% Down, 3+ Flips program close in 21-30 days. The biggest delays are usually title issues or missing borrower documents, so getting those started early makes a big difference.
How much do I need to bring to close on an Alpharetta flip?
The worked example on this page is a $470,000 Alpharetta purchase with a $90,000 rehab and a $780,000 after repair value at 730 credit, first flip: $70,500 down (15% of the purchase) and $92,014 total cash to close, with $137,741 of proof of funds to show the lender. The lowest down payment for a first flip in Alpharetta is 10% down from 9.99% at 660+ credit. Investors with a track record can go to 0% down (100% financing) from 9.50% at 620+ credit with 2+ completed flips, when purchase plus rehab fits under 70% of ARV, and you still bring the closing costs in cash. Rehab is funded 100 percent through draws in every case. Run your own numbers in the calculator above, or send us the deal and we will price it.
Do you fund the rehab budget in Alpharetta?
Yes, 100 percent of the rehab is funded, but it is a holdback released in draws rather than cash at closing. You pay for each phase, request a draw, an inspector verifies the work, and the lender reimburses. That means you need working capital to float the first phase, which is the single most common thing new investors miss on their first deal.
What credit score do I need for an Alpharetta fix and flip loan?
One Alpharetta program has no credit floor at all, it is priced on speed rather than credit. The lowest rate here, 8.99%, needs 760+ credit. Depending on the program, rates step down at 700 and 760 credit and origination steps down at 700 and 740. Credit matters less here than on a conventional loan because the deal carries the file, but it moves your rate and your leverage, so know where you stand before you make offers.
Can I refinance an Alpharetta flip into a rental loan?
Yes. That is the BRRRR exit, and it is the most common way an Alpharetta flip becomes a hold. A DSCR loan qualifies on the property’s rental income rather than your W-2, so once the rehab is done and it is leased, you refinance out of the short-term hard money loan into 30-year financing. Worth deciding before you start, because it changes what finish level makes sense.
Who are the hard money lenders for Alpharetta flips?
We are a broker, not a lender. We shop your Alpharetta flip across 400+ lenders and bring back the one that fits the file, then you see the real term sheet before you commit. In Georgia a first flip can be priced at 15% down with 700+ credit (from 8.99%), 12.5% down with 700+ credit (from 9.75%), 10% down with 660+ credit (from 9.99%) or 10% down with no credit minimum on the fastest-close program (from 11.99%).
Do I need a stucco inspection on an Alpharetta flip?
If the house has synthetic or hardcoat stucco, yes. Moisture damage behind stucco is the most expensive hidden problem in north Fulton houses from the 1980s and 1990s, and buyers’ inspectors look for it. Do the inspection during due diligence and put any repair in your rehab budget, since the draws only cover work that is in the scope.
