Fix and flip loans in Kansas fund acquisition plus renovation on a single interest-only bridge sized to after-repair value (ARV), not your tax return. The exit is resale — buy distressed, rehab on draws, list into Wichita demand, and repay the bridge from proceeds.
Fix-and-flip economics in Kansas
ARV discipline and a real rehab number decide the flip — not optimism. Two Kansas cost lines bite flip margin: holding-period property tax at an effective ~1.41% (above-average effective property tax) and state income tax on the gain (~5.2%–5.58%). Model both before you commit to ARV.
