AlphaFlow uses an algorithmic pricing model that takes into account transaction, borrower, property, and local market-related factors when determining the interest rate at which AlphaFlow will purchase a loan. Any difference between our purchase rate and the interest rate of the loan will be sent back to the lender when the borrower makes their monthly payment (i.e. the Yield Strip).

AlphaFlow understands how much value borrower relationships have to its lenders. While AlphaFlow does purchase loans with servicing released, AlphaFlow still wants its lenders to be ‘the face’ of the loan to the borrower to maintain those relationships. As such, AlphaFlow allows the lender to be the single point of contact for items like rehab draws post-sale. In addition, AlphaFlow engages sub-servicers to hold reserves and collect interest payments and payoffs. AlphaFlow acts as the single point of contact with its lenders for our sub-servicers.
AlphaFlow aims to process a construction draw in 24-48 hours after the request is submitted to AlphaFlow’s servicing team.
