Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Springfield, MA

Springfield, on the Connecticut River, is known as the City of Homes for its Victorian houses. Purchase prices are lower than in the Boston area, so investors buy single-family houses and older two- and three-family homes to renovate and rent, and Victorian houses in the older neighborhoods to restore and resell. Thirteen local historic districts mean some addresses need an extra approval before exterior work starts.

Good to know

Before you buy in Springfield

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Springfield and Hampden County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Check whether the address is in one of Springfield's 13 local historic districts, such as McKnight, Forest Park Heights or Maple Hill. Exterior work visible from a street or park needs Historical Commission approval before it starts, usually after a public hearing with notice to abutters.
  • Check the FEMA flood map for parcels in the low-lying areas near the Connecticut River. A special flood hazard area can add flood insurance to the carrying costs.
