Know what comes next.

What investments do you finance?

Trailhead Investment Solutions LLC provides loans for SlowFlip investments only. Borrowers cover any project costs above the loan amount.

How do I apply for a loan?

Use the Apply now button to complete our online application in Google Forms. Include your investment details and the amount you are seeking. Contact us if you have questions.

What loan amounts and rates are available?

Loans are up to $30,000 at 12% annual interest, fully amortized over five years. The borrower covers any amount needed above the loan. Final approval and loan details are documented in a written agreement.

What does fully amortized mean?

Scheduled payments include both principal and interest. The repayment schedule pays off the loan over 60 months, with no remaining principal balance after all scheduled payments are made.

Why are cash reserves important?

Reserves help explain how you would continue making loan payments and paying property expenses if rental or tenant-buyer income were interrupted. Be ready to describe your available reserves and the number of months of expenses they could cover.

Does submitting an application guarantee a loan?

No. Applications are subject to review. Approval, funding, and final terms depend on the completed review and required agreements.
