The market

Financing a deal in McKinney

McKinney is two flip markets with one name. East of Highway 75 is the original town: a 1920s to 1950s downtown grid with a historic overlay, 1980s and 1990s subdivisions south of Eldorado, and the only distressed inventory in the city. West of 75 is Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch and the newer master-planned sections, where a 2010s house rarely needs more than paint and where builders are still selling next door. Flips happen on the east side. The west side is a hold-or-pass market for us.

The McKinney deal is decided by the calendar as much as the numbers. Collin County has been a buyer’s market since early 2026, inventory is up sharply, and most houses sell under list, so a McKinney flip needs a real discount on the buy and a finish that sells in the first three weeks. Then there is the overlay. Inside the two downtown historic districts, any exterior change visible from the street needs a certificate of appropriateness, windows and siding included, and in-kind repairs are the only thing exempt. Buy inside the district for the premium and budget the review; buy south of Eldorado for the speed.

A real term sheet

What a McKinney deal looks like on paper

McKinney example: $290,000 purchase, $70,000 rehab, $480,000 after repair value, 730 credit, first flip. The engine puts that borrower on the Best Rate program at 9.49%. Think a 1980s slab house south of Eldorado: piers, roof, a full interior turn, priced to beat the quick-move-in homes up north. Every number below is what the instant term sheet prints for that deal, so the picture cannot contradict the page.

Underwriting

How a McKinney file actually gets priced

A McKinney ARV gets set against a moving target, because 75069 sales volume has dropped by about a third in a year and 75071 sits at more than two months on market. We use closed sales from the last 90 days inside the same subdivision, we treat a comp that took a price cut as the honest one, and we do not let a Stonebridge Ranch sale price a house south of Eldorado. The historic core carries a premium, and it is real, but the appraiser only pays it for a house whose exterior work was approved and permitted.

Wilson Creek runs through the middle of the city to the East Fork, and the flood study covers Wilson, Franklin Branch, Stover and Honey Creek. The city runs flood sensors at the Valley Creek trail and the Park View crossing by Towne Lake for a reason. Everything outside the downtown grid is slab on Collin County clay, which shrinks and swells hard, so piers are a normal line item. Newer sections outside the city limits, Trinity Falls and Painted Tree among them, sit in municipal utility or public improvement districts that add real dollars to the tax bill and change who can qualify for your finished house. Tree removal needs a permit through the city portal. Short-term rentals require registration since March 2026.

The exit

Who buys your finished McKinney deal

The finished east McKinney house exits to a family buyer who wants McKinney ISD at a price under the west side, and that buyer is comparing your house to a builder’s quick-move-in home a few miles north with incentives attached. Price the exit against that, not against last year’s comps. Downtown-adjacent houses exit to a buyer paying for the walkable square, and they pay for character, not for a generic gray finish. Rents here are strong enough that a DSCR refinance works on a lot of 75069 and 75070 addresses, which is worth pricing before you list.

Questions

McKinney hard money FAQ

Do you lend hard money in McKinney?
Yes. Capital Kings is a broker, not a direct lender, so we shop your McKinney 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 Texas, and the numbers come from the same engine that prices our instant term sheet.
Which fix and flip programs apply in McKinney?
As of September 2026: Best Rate (15% down, from 8.99%); New Investor Program (12.5% down, from 9.75%); Best Value (5% down, from 9.99%); 5% Down, 3+ Flips (5% down, from 11.00%, 3+ completed flips); 5% Down, 5+ Flips (5% down, from 9.99%, 5+ completed flips); Lowest Down (100% financing) (100% financing, from 11.75%); 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 a McKinney hard money loan close?
Most McKinney fix and flip files close in 7 to 10 business days. Clean files with title opened and the appraisal ordered early can close in as few as 5. The delays we see are almost never the lender, they are title issues and slow document returns on the borrower side.
How much do I need to bring to close on a McKinney flip?
The worked example on this page is a $290,000 McKinney purchase with a $70,000 rehab and a $480,000 after repair value at 730 credit, first flip: $43,500 down (15%) and $58,518 total cash to close, with $92,436 of proof of funds to show the lender. The lowest down payment lane in McKinney is 0%. 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 McKinney?
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 a McKinney fix and flip loan?
One McKinney program has no credit floor at all, it is priced on speed rather than credit. The best pricing needs 700 or higher, and it improves again at 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 a McKinney flip into a rental loan?
Yes. That is the BRRRR exit, and it is the most common way a McKinney 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.
Is a McKinney flip fighting new construction?
In 75071 and anything north of Highway 380, yes, directly. Builders have hundreds of quick-move-in homes listed in and around the city and they are paying closing costs and buying down rates. A resale flip up there has to win on price or location. South of Eldorado and in the historic core the new-build comparison is weaker, and a finished house competes with other resales.
What does the McKinney historic overlay actually restrict?
Anything on the exterior that can be seen from the right of way: windows, doors, siding, porches, additions. Those need a certificate of appropriateness before the permit. Repairs in kind, replacing a rotten board with the same board, are exempt. Interior work is not reviewed. The overlay is also why the core holds its value, so it cuts both ways.
