At BetterLife Real Estate Funding, we don’t just fund deals—we build trust, ease, and lasting partnerships. But don’t just take our word for it—hear what our clients have to say.
Our Products
Through a strategic partnership with a trusted direct lender, BetterLife Real Estate Funding offers a range of specialized mortgage products designed for real estate investors. Our solutions cover most residential investment strategies, providing flexibility and tailored options that traditional lenders simply can't match.
Fix and Flip
Short-term funding for purchasing and renovating residential properties with up to 10 units. Whether you're an experienced investor or just starting out, we offer competitive terms to support your project.
Bridge
Financing for newly built or renovated properties that are vacant, stabilized, and ineligible for long-term financing. This option bridges the gap until permanent funding can be secured.
Rental Properties
Long-term financing for rental properties with stable, long-term tenants. Loans are based on the property's rental income and its stabilized value, offering investors a reliable financing option.
Construction
Financing for residential and small multifamily investment property construction. Investors value our flexible terms, ease of draw funding, and speed of closing.
Portfolio
For seasoned investors, we offer financing for up to 10 rental properties under a single loan. This approach is often more cost-effective than securing separate loans for each property.
Short-Term Rental
A financing solution for investors seeking long-term loans for rental properties listed on Airbnb and VRBO. This option calculates DSCR using either 12 months of operating history or AirDNA rental data as market rent.
