The Fix and Flip Process in Arizona
Step 1: Find the deal
Target properties priced 20–30% below ARV. Use the 70% rule: maximum offer = 70% of ARV minus repair costs.
Step 2: Get pre-approved
Submit property address, purchase price, renovation budget, and ARV estimate. Receive a term sheet within 24 hours.
Step 3: Close fast
AllApprovedHere.com closes Arizona fix and flip loans in 10–14 days. No appraisal required for loans under $1M in most cases (drive-by or desktop appraisal).
Step 4: Renovate
Draw funds as work is completed. Most Arizona projects complete in 60–120 days.
Step 5: Sell or refi
List the property or refinance into a DSCR loan if you decide to hold. Arizona's strong rental market makes the hold strategy increasingly attractive.
Arizona Fix and Flip Tax Considerations
Arizona has no state capital gains tax — all capital gains are taxed at the federal level only. Short-term gains (properties held < 1 year) are taxed as ordinary income; long-term gains (> 1 year) qualify for preferential rates (0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income).
Most fix and flip projects are completed in under 12 months, so profits are typically taxed as ordinary income. Consult a CPA for entity structure and tax optimization strategies.
