No. AlphaFlow believes you get what you pay for. AlphaFlow is committed to delivering a high level of service and value to our lenders. AlphaFlow has observed that other institutional loan buyers with lower rates are slower to buy, have more complex loan sale processes, and burden lenders with unnecessary costs. In addition, they delegate the investment decisioning and post-closing servicing to non-accountable third parties – putting the lender/borrower relationships at risk.
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 (known as a Yield Strip).
No, AlphaFlow’s lenders keep 100% of the origination fees.
AlphaFlow has three main groups of investors: 1) accredited investors 2) institutional capital 3) family offices. When AlphaFlow buys loans it acts as master servicer and continues to act as a single point of contact with its Lenders.
AlphaFlow is backed by multiple types of investors and has committed capital of $1+ billion which it expects to deploy in the next 12-24 months.
~$25-$50+ million per month, which is expected to scale in the coming months.
AlphaFlow will purchase loans with an initial term of no more than 24 months and the loan can have up to two six-month extensions.

AlphaFlow will purchase loans with up to 85% of as-is LTV, up to 90% of LTC and up to 75% of ARV. Refinance, stabilized/rent and ground up transactions are subject to slightly lower leverage ratios.
AlphaFlow understands how much value borrower relationships have to its lenders. While AlphaFlow does purchase loans with servicing released, AlphaFlow still wants its lenders being ‘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.
AlphaFlow works with several servicing groups including Cohen Financial, FCI and BSI. AlphaFlow will continue to evaluate additional servicings groups as needed.
AlphaFlow does work with brokers, but requires each originating lender to have a direct purchase agreement with AlphaFlow. AlphaFlow will pay brokers on a sliding scale based on volume and yield.
AlphaFlow has the ability to buy loans from any partners who have borrowers with active business licenses, a US operating entity and the borrower must have a credit score.
