Lewiston’s price points and steady buyer demand reward tight budgets and predictable draws. Ambition Lending funds investor-purpose fix & flip loans with disciplined underwriting and fast inspections.
Leverage & Structure
Typical leverage up to 80–90% of purchase and up to 100% of rehab via milestone-based draws on qualifying files. Interest-only terms keep payments manageable; plan 3–4 draws and label photos by room and milestone.

- Holding/soft costs: $14k–$18k over 4–5 months
- Align finishes to neighborhood comps; avoid over-spec to protect margin.
