Why flippers finance Maine projects with Mortava
In a market like Maine, speed and leverage decide your margin. Mortava funds up to 95% of cost plus the full rehab, reimburses draws within 24 hours, and sends indicative term sheets in about two hours — so you can compete on Portland, Lewiston, Bangor deals and recycle capital into the next project faster.
Coastal Maine runs on seasonal demand: Portland and the midcoast towns support strong summer STR income while tight year-round inventory props up long-term rents. Underwriting on projected rental income fits this market well.
Flip-to-STR in Maine
Not every Maine flip has to sell. In short-term-rental markets like Portland, some investors renovate and then refinance into an STR / Airbnb DSCR loan on projected rental income — keeping the asset instead of paying to exit.
