Why Arizona investors use PML

Banks underwrite borrowers. PML underwrites deals.

A conventional Arizona mortgage takes 30 to 45 days, asks for two years of W-2s, and reprices halfway through. None of that matches how an Arizona flip clears at auction or on the MLS. Hard money exists because investor deals close in days, not months — and because the asset itself, post-rehab, is the collateral that matters.

Speed in Phoenix

County trustee or court foreclosure calendars across Arizona clear on a posted schedule, and the ARMLS turns over the sharpest off-market inventory inside 48 hours. PML issues a binding term sheet within four business hours and wires a clean Arizona file in 48 hours. The faster you can credibly close, the deeper the discount you can negotiate on a Maryvale acquisition or a Phoenix value-add.

Leverage on a $300K–$525K ARV

Arizona flips concentrate in the $300,000 to $525,000 ARV band — the cosmetic three-twos and full-gut projects that occupy Maryvale, Dobson Ranch, Midtown Tucson, Sunnyslope. At 92.5% LTC and 100% rehab funding, a single experienced Arizona flipper can run four to six concurrent projects on the equity that a bank loan would tie up in one. The math on annual return on equity favors the leveraged operator on every realistic scenario.

Asset-based, not income-doc’d

PML underwrites the property’s as-repaired value, your Schedule of Values, and your sponsor track record. We do not need W-2s, Arizona state returns, or DTI calculations. That makes PML the right tool for self-employed Arizona operators, anyone running income through an Arizona LLC or S-corp, and any sponsor with a complex K-1 stack from prior closings.

Arizona fix and flip terms

Numbers, not asterisks.

Same rate sheet as every other state in our book. PML underwrites on the as-repaired value, not the purchase price alone. Leverage scales with sponsor track record, market, and deal quality — and every term below moves on a published rate sheet.

How PML closes in Arizona

How PML closes in Arizona.
Five days from submission to wire.

The same five-step flow we run on every state, with three Arizona-specific lines. Submitted Monday on a clean file, wired by Friday.

  1. Submit the deal

    Drop in the Arizona property address, your Schedule of Values, and a draft purchase contract. No application fee and no soft credit pull at this stage.

    ~5 minutes
  2. Indicative terms

    A PML underwriter — not a salesperson — replies with a real Arizona rate, leverage, and a binding term sheet. Soft credit inquiry runs only after you accept.

    ~4 hours
  3. Title & appraisal

    Title routes through a licensed Arizona title company in the subject county. Arizona does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans secured by 1 to 4 unit non-owner-occupied investment property held by an entity. Subject-to-completion appraisal runs in parallel.

    ~2 days
  4. Closing docs

    Arizona closings happen at a licensed title company. The same in-house team that quoted the deal also issues the closing docs — no table-funding, no last-minute repricing, no fee changes between term sheet and HUD.

    ~1 day
  5. Wire & weekly draws

    Funds wire at close. The Maricopa County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major Arizona metros (Tucson, Mesa and Scottsdale) run similarly fast on e-recording. PML wires loan proceeds the day of close; the lien recording happens in parallel. Weekly draws begin on receipt of the first paid invoices.

    Same day, then weekly

Arizona fix and flip FAQ

Ten questions, asked by Arizona flippers.

Specific to Arizona. For broader hard money questions — FICO floors, BRRRR strategy, the 70% rule, application flow — see the 70% rule explainer, the BRRRR mechanics breakdown, or the full FAQ.

Do you lend in Arizona?
Yes. PML funds fix and flip loans in all 50 states, with active flipper books in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, and Scottsdale. Single-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex properties. Loan size from $100,000 to $5,000,000 per asset, with cross-collateralized facility lines available for sponsors running three or more concurrent Arizona projects. No state-line carve-outs on pricing or leverage; a Maricopa County flip prices off the same rate sheet as a Maricopa County flip.
Is PML licensed in Arizona?
Arizona does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans secured by 1 to 4 unit non-owner-occupied investment property held by an entity. PML originates Arizona fix and flip loans under that posture, with closings handled through the customary Arizona closing process. Loans are not consumer mortgages; they cannot be used for a primary or secondary residence. The borrower is always an LLC, LP, or corporation, never a natural person.
What is the typical Arizona loan size and ARV range?
The bulk of Arizona fix and flip activity in our book lands in a $300,000 to $525,000 ARV band, with loans typically between $240,000 and $430,000 on a single asset. Phoenix and Mesa skew toward the lower half of that band on entry-level cosmetic flips; Scottsdale and Paradise Valley stretch to $1,100,000 plus on full-gut projects. We will write an Arizona loan as small as $100,000 and as large as $5,000,000.
How does title and escrow work in Arizona?
Arizona is a title-company state. Closings happen at a licensed title company that handles both the title commitment and the escrow function — there is no attorney-state requirement and no separate settlement attorney. PML has working relationships with title companies in every major Arizona metro and routes closings to whichever office produces the fastest commitment for the subject property’s county. A clean Arizona file regularly closes 5 to 7 business days from term-sheet acceptance.
What transfer tax or recording fees apply in Arizona?
Arizona does not impose a state or county real estate transfer tax. The buyer pays only the standard recording fee on the deed and deed of trust, which typically runs $30 to $50 per document. PML’s quote on the HUD reflects the actual Arizona tax and recording schedule for the subject county; there are no lender markups on third-party closing costs.
Does Arizona weather or seasonality affect rehab draws?
Arizona summer heat slows exterior trade work in July and August — roofing, exterior paint, concrete pours — but does not slow our draw cadence. Inspector clears within one business day, wire goes out within 48 hours, year-round.
How long does foreclosure take in Arizona if the loan defaults?
Arizona is a non-judicial foreclosure state operating under power of sale. A defaulted business-purpose loan can move from notice to trustee sale in roughly 90 days. As a sponsor this should never matter; as an underwriting input it is one reason our Arizona loans price cleanly off the national rate sheet.
How quickly does Maricopa County record an Arizona deed?
The Maricopa County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major Arizona metros (Tucson, Mesa and Scottsdale) run similarly fast on e-recording. PML wires loan proceeds the day of close; the lien recording happens in parallel.
Do you fund foreclosure or auction purchases in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona trustee sales typically happen on a posted weekly or monthly schedule at the county courthouse. PML issues a binding term sheet within four business hours of a property submission, which is sufficient for most Arizona non-judicial auctions and most online foreclosure platforms. Clean title and a binding term sheet can move from winning bid to wire in 7 to 10 calendar days.
Can I close into an Arizona LLC formed after the property goes under contract?
Yes. PML can close into a newly-formed Arizona LLC even if you took the property under contract in your personal name. The closing party handles the deed transfer at closing — the property moves from your personal name into the new entity simultaneous with the loan funding, with no Arizona transfer tax to absorb. We do not lend to natural persons; the borrower is always an entity. We can help structure the entity if you do not yet have one in place.

The next Arizona flip does not have to wait two weeks for terms.

Submit an Arizona property and an underwriter replies with a real rate within four business hours. No application fee, no soft pull until you accept. Underwritten in-house, wired through an Arizona title company.
