FAQ
for Equity Protection Program
What is Equity Protection?
Equity Protection is an option for homeowners who want more than a discounted cash offer but aren't able to deal with the repairs, listing and showings. We fund the improvements, oversee the renovation and coordinate the resale — allowing you to share in the added value once the property sells. It's designed for sellers who want simplicity and support without leaving equity on the table.
Will I have to pay for repairs?
Not at all — that’s one of the biggest benefits of working with First Aid Flips™. We fund the repairs, manage the project and handle the resale process so you don't have to write checks or oversee contractors. Renovation and resale costs are accounted for at closing and reflected in the final proceeds once the property sells.
When will I get paid?
Timing depends on the structure we choose together. In most cases, you receive your proceeds once the property is improved and sold on the open market. Another structured arrangement gives you monthly payments during the renovation period with the remaining amount distributed after the property sells. Before moving forward, we review the full timeline and financial breakdown so you understand exactly how it works.
Do I need to do anything?
Your involvement is minimal. You'll review and sign the agreement, provide access to the property as needed and coordinate a move-out timeline if you're still living there. We can also assist with your move, if needed. We handle the renovation oversight, resale coordination and buyer negotiations from start to finish. Our goal is to keep the process structured and low-stress for you.
Is my payment guaranteed?
Because the property is sold on the open market, final proceeds depend on the resale price and market conditions, similar to a traditional listing. Before moving forward, we review conservative projections and outline the financial structure clearly so you understand the potential range of outcomes. Our goal is to price strategically to maximize value while still attracting strong buyer interest so the home sells efficiently.
What if the home doesn't sell?
We base pricing decisions on real-time market data to position the property competitively from the start. If buyer activity slows or market conditions shift, we adapt the strategy to maintain momentum while protecting value. The timeline and structure are reviewed in advance so there are no surprises.
What costs are deducted before proceeds are distributed?
The costs involved depend on the structure selected. In arrangements where the property is resold on your behalf, renovation expenses and customary resale costs are accounted for before final proceeds are distributed. In structured purchase arrangements, the agreed terms are set upfront and resale costs are handled by us. We review all projected numbers clearly before moving forward so expectations are fully understood.
How do I know if this is the right option for me?
Equity Protection works best for homeowners who have equity, don't have funds for repairs and want a hands-off process without managing a traditional listing. If you need immediate relief due to hardship, you may be eligiable for our revival program.
