Real Estate

Even in uncertain times, value-add real estate remains one of the surest investments in our under-supplied housing market.

 

24 million single-family homes will be due for rehab in the coming years. Corporations can’t do the work, and shouldn’t make all the profit. Backflip levels the playing field, to put independent investors back in the game.

Entrepreneurs

Enterprising doers and deal-makers should not be held back and hog-tied by outdated systems, lack of funds, lack of data, unnecessary delays, predatory practices, or faceless conglomerates sitting behind desks.

 

If you’re out there creating value, revitalizing homes, building the future—for your families, for your community, Backflip celebrates you, and supports you—with insights, a dedicated network, and money when you need it.

Breaking Free

The new creator economy is driven by real world builders—people like you, making and creating value through your skills and smart investments. You can’t count on a secure job any more: Financial security means taking your fate into your own hands—literally. Backflip is the app for you to build your REI independence.

People First

Most lenders structure their business around loans; Backflip is structured around borrowers. It’s a small innovation in the industry that makes a huge difference to you. It means every loan application can be easier than the last. It makes multiple loans easier, and allows us to service and support you even after closing. This is how we flip the script.
