Fix and flip loans in South Dakota 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 Sioux Falls demand, and repay the bridge from proceeds.
Fix-and-flip economics in South Dakota
Margin is made on the buy and protected on the timeline. Two South Dakota cost lines bite flip margin: holding-period property tax at an effective ~1.17% (above-average effective property tax offsets the no-income-tax benefit) and no state income tax on the gain — no state income tax — strong after-tax rental yield. Model both before you commit to ARV.
