Indiana · Q3 2025

Why Indiana investors use PML

Banks underwrite borrowers. PML underwrites deals.

A conventional Indiana mortgage takes 30 to 45 days, asks for two years of W-2s, and reprices halfway through. None of that matches how an Indiana 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 Indianapolis

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

Leverage on a $135K–$295K ARV

Indiana flips concentrate in the $135,000 to $295,000 ARV band — the cosmetic three-twos and full-gut projects that occupy Garfield Park, Riverside, Wells Corridor, Near Eastside. At 92.5% LTC and 100% rehab funding, a single experienced Indiana 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, Indiana state returns, or DTI calculations. That makes PML the right tool for self-employed Indiana operators, anyone running income through an Indiana LLC or S-corp, and any sponsor with a complex K-1 stack from prior closings.

Indiana 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 Indiana

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

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

  1. Submit the deal

    Drop in the Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Indiana title company in the subject county. Indiana does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans on 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

    Indiana 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 Marion County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major Indiana metros (Fort Wayne, Evansville and South Bend) 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

Indiana fix and flip FAQ

Ten questions, asked by Indiana flippers.

Specific to Indiana. 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 Indiana?
Yes. PML funds fix and flip loans in all 50 states, with active flipper books in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, and South Bend. 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 Indiana projects. No state-line carve-outs on pricing or leverage; a Marion County flip prices off the same rate sheet as a Marion County flip.
Is PML licensed in Indiana?
Indiana does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans on 1 to 4 unit non-owner-occupied investment property held by an entity. PML originates Indiana fix and flip loans under that posture, with closings handled through the customary Indiana 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 Indiana loan size and ARV range?
The bulk of Indiana fix and flip activity in our book lands in a $135,000 to $295,000 ARV band, with loans typically between $108,000 and $238,000 on a single asset. Indianapolis and Indianapolis skew toward the lower half of that band on entry-level cosmetic flips; Meridian-Kessler and Broad Ripple stretch to $545,000 plus on full-gut projects. We will write an Indiana loan as small as $100,000 and as large as $5,000,000.
How does title and escrow work in Indiana?
Indiana 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 Indiana metro and routes closings to whichever office produces the fastest commitment for the subject property’s county. A clean Indiana file regularly closes 5 to 7 business days from term-sheet acceptance.
What transfer tax or recording fees apply in Indiana?
Indiana does not impose a state-level real estate transfer tax. The buyer pays only the county recording fee on the deed and deed of trust, typically $25 to $50 per document. PML’s quote on the HUD reflects the actual Indiana tax and recording schedule for the subject county; there are no lender markups on third-party closing costs.
Does Indiana weather or seasonality affect rehab draws?
Northern Indiana winters slow exterior trade work (roofing, siding, concrete) from late November through March, but they do not slow our draw cadence. Inspector clears within one business day, wire goes out within 48 hours, year-round. Plan rehab budgets with a 2 to 4 week seasonal cushion on cold-weather exterior scopes.
How long does foreclosure take in Indiana if the loan defaults?
Indiana is a judicial foreclosure state. A defaulted business-purpose loan moves through the courts in roughly 9 to 12 months from filed complaint to sheriff's or commissioner's sale — materially longer than non-judicial states like Texas or Arizona. As a sponsor this should never matter; as an underwriting input it is reflected in our Indiana risk pricing.
How quickly does Marion County record an Indiana deed?
The Marion County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major Indiana metros (Fort Wayne, Evansville and South Bend) 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 Indiana?
Yes. Indiana foreclosure sales are court-ordered judicial sales conducted by the county sheriff or court-appointed commissioner, with the sale date set by the court after entry of the foreclosure judgment. PML can fund acquisitions from courthouse-step foreclosure sales when title is clean and judgment is final, with a binding term sheet inside four business hours. Plan additional time for confirmation-of-sale where the Indiana courts require it.
Can I close into an Indiana LLC formed after the property goes under contract?
Yes. PML can close into a newly-formed Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Indiana flip does not have to wait two weeks for terms.

Submit an Indiana 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 Indiana title company.
