Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Lenexa, KS

Lenexa grew from a small rail town, known in the 1930s as the Spinach Capital of the World, into a Johnson County suburb of subdivisions, dozens with homeowners associations, plus the denser Lenexa City Center district. Investors buy dated suburban homes for light rehab or rental and take on infill and new construction, working within a city rental license and a permit list that covers roofs and HVAC swaps.

Where investors buy

Neighborhoods investors look at in Lenexa

Homes more than a century old are mostly limited to Old Town, platted by Octave Chanute in 1869, because Lenexa stayed small until about 1970 and grew quickly after that. Most housing is suburban single-family subdivisions, with higher-density living at City Center.
Old Town LenexaThe 1869 town site along Santa Fe Trail Drive and the BNSF line, with homes, businesses and churches, some more than 100 years old.
Lenexa City CenterA 200-acre live-work district at 87th Street Parkway and Renner Boulevard along I-435, built for higher-density housing near City Hall and the Public Market.
Lake Lenexa and Black Hoof ParkA 35-acre flood-control lake whose 2006 dam reflects the city's rain-to-recreation approach to stormwater, which matters for anyone grading a lot nearby.
Quivira Road corridorA corridor the city has studied in its comprehensive planning, worth reading up on before buying older property along it.

Good to know

Before you buy in Lenexa

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Lenexa and Johnson County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • License any rental before a tenant or guest moves in: apply at least 30 business days ahead, renew each calendar year, and expect an exterior inspection every other year. Out-of-state owners without an in-state manager must name an agent who lives in Johnson County.
  • Budget permits into a flip: Lenexa requires them for roof replacement, furnace, air conditioner and water heater swaps, basement finishes and decks, while painting, cabinets, carpet and siding do not need one.
  • For new homes, plan for construction plans sealed by a Kansas-licensed architect or engineer, a Johnson County sewer or septic permit, and a building permit that lapses after 180 days without an inspection.
  • Kansas no longer has a mortgage registration tax, fully repealed as of 2019, and residential property is taxed on 11.5% of appraised value.

Questions

Loans in Lenexa: common questions

Do you offer hard money loans in Lenexa?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers private real estate financing for investors in Lenexa and the rest of Johnson County: fix and flip and bridge loans sized on the deal, and DSCR rental loans sized on the rent. We're headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and lend nationwide.

Do you offer DSCR loans in Lenexa?

Yes.

How much can I borrow for a Lenexa flip?

Up to 95% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab budget, on a 12–18 months interest-only loan. Those are maximums, subject to appraisal and underwriting: the property, your experience and the comps set what your loan gets.

Is there a prepayment penalty on a loan in Lenexa?

There's no prepayment penalty on fix and flip or bridge loans. DSCR rental loans come with a choice of prepayment terms, from none up to five years, set out in your written terms before you commit.

Do I need to live in Lenexa or have a Kansas LLC?

No. You can borrow in your own name or through an LLC, wherever you live; many of our borrowers invest outside their home state. If your LLC was formed outside Kansas, your loan officer will tell you what's needed before closing.
