Beaumont fix and flip loans built around the windstorm certificate.
We fund up to 90% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab budget, capped to ARV, on a 6-month interest-only term. In Beaumont and Port Arthur the roof often decides the schedule, because a coastal-county re-roof can need a windstorm inspection before the buyer can get wind coverage. Business-purpose loans only, subject to underwriting.
Typical figures, subject to underwriting and market conditions. Not a commitment to lend.
How it works
Draws are reimbursed quickly as work is completed, and a dedicated closer stays with your file from term sheet to payoff. You can get a term sheet the same day, and we typically fund within 48 hours of clear title, so most flips close in 5-7 days as soon as title and insurance come together.
What does a Jefferson County flip need that an inland Texas flip does not?
A windstorm inspection and certificate on the roof. Jefferson County is one of the 14 first-tier TWIA coastal counties. TWIA says a structure needs a WPI-8 certificate of compliance from the Texas Department of Insurance before it will insure it, and it lists replacing a roof or repairing a significant portion of one among the improvements that need a certificate. Skip it and the buyer may not qualify for TWIA wind coverage, which can stall or kill the exit financing. Sequence the roof inspection before drywall, build it into the budget rather than the punch list, and confirm the current trigger with TDI before you pull the roof.
Partly from the city's own demolition list. Beaumont's Building Codes Division publishes a monthly Red Tag List of open demolition cases, and the version dated September 4, 2026 carried 396 open cases, 101 opened in 2026 and 114 in 2025. Owners can repair within a deadline or sign a demolition consent form and the city demolishes at no cost. Owners facing a deadline are a plausible seller pool, which is our inference rather than a published statistic, and some of those structures will be demolition candidates, not rehabs. Pull the case file and price the repair deadline before you offer.
How low is entry basis here, and what does the flip margin look like?
Low basis, thin statewide margins, and no Beaumont-specific flip statistic we can publish. Zillow's mid-tier value was $125,021 in Port Arthur and $174,566 in Beaumont as of July 2026, against a $340,384 Texas average originated loan in 2023 and $219,281 in Jefferson County (64% of the state figure). For margins, the only sourced number is statewide: ATTOM reported a 9.9% Texas flip rate, $15,965 average gross profit and 5.6% gross ROI for Q1 2026, and gross ROI excludes rehab and carry. We found no metro flip rate. Deals here are won on purchase price, not on a rising market.
What does a flip carry in property tax while you hold it?
The full investor rate, with no homestead exemption and no 10% appraisal cap. Jefferson CAD's 2025 combined rate is 2.303981 per $100 of assessed value in Beaumont, 2.810110 in Port Arthur, 2.087155 in Nederland, 2.494339 in Groves and 2.587413 in Port Neches. Port Arthur is the highest in the county because Port Arthur ISD's rate is 1.270416, even though its houses are the lowest priced. A $125,000 Port Arthur assessment is roughly $3,513 a year in tax, against $2,609 in Nederland. Bridge City and Vidor (Orange County) and Lumberton (Hardin County) are on different appraisal districts with different rates. Hold-period math should use the parcel's own rate. Talk to your CPA about your position.
What should a flip budget for in flood and wind exposure?
A separate flood quote and a wind plan, priced before you close. Flood is its own policy, and the NFIP discount in a mapped flood zone differs by city: 15% in Beaumont, 5% in Port Arthur, 10% in unincorporated Jefferson County, and none for Nederland, Groves or Port Neches, which are not on FEMA's April 2025 list. The history is not theoretical: Hurricane Harvey put 26.03 inches of rain on Beaumont-Port Arthur airport in one day in 2017, and Tropical Storm Imelda damaged or destroyed more than 5,000 Jefferson County homes in 2019. We found no county premium average, so get bound wind and flood quotes on the specific property, and check whether the roof will need the windstorm certificate before the buyer's insurer does.

Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.
