Investor Programs
Every project is structured around your goals, timeline, and risk tolerance so construction and investing stay aligned.
-
Partnership Flips
You acquire the property and fund the renovation. ETBI builds the scope, manages permits, coordinates trades, and runs the job so the exit is tied to construction reality instead of guesswork.
Profit shares and fee structures are agreed in writing before work begins.
-
Contractor Backed Flips for Out-of-Area Investors
Ideal for out-of-state and out-of-area buyers. ETBI provides scopes, budgets, and timelines with local code knowledge, then delivers written updates, photos, and milestone check-ins while you manage the deal from a distance.
You get a licensed general contractor as your on-site partner in Knoxville and East Tennessee.
-
Private Lender Friendly Projects
For lenders who want their capital tied to clear work, we outline scopes, line item budgets, and draw schedules. Each draw can be tied to visible progress, photos, and inspections when required.
We focus on realistic budgets so projects stay on track for exit, not just on paper.
-
Value Add Renovations for Buy-and-Hold Investors
Whether you plan to reposition units, improve tenant quality, or prepare for a refinance, we match the renovation plan to your strategy so finishes and scope fit the numbers.
Best suited for single family and small multifamily projects that benefit from clear value add construction.
How It Works for Investors
-
1) Intro Call and Criteria
We learn your buy box, investment goals, preferred hold period, and how you fund projects so we know what a good deal looks like for you.
-
2) Project Review and Scope
You share property details, photos, inspections, and your plan. ETBI builds a scope, budget, and estimated schedule based on real local costs and code requirements.
-
3) Agreement and Build
We sign a clear construction agreement and, when needed, a separate profit share or fee structure. ETBI then runs the project with regular updates and job site photos.
-
4) Exit and Next Deal
You sell, refinance, or hold. When appropriate we document the results as a case study and refine criteria so the next East Tennessee project can move faster.
Sample Project Profile
Example only for a single family home in Knoxville with a value add renovation.
- Purchase price: $210,000
- Renovation budget with ETBI: $85,000
- Estimated construction timeline: 4 to 5 months from start to listing
- Illustrative investor gross profit before financing costs, closing costs, and taxes: $45,000 to $60,000
- Planned exit: resale after renovation, or refinance into a long term rental
Numbers shown are for illustration only and are not a guarantee of profit or performance. Actual results depend on the specific property, market conditions, financing, and your decisions as an investor or lender.

FAQ
- Do you pull permits and handle inspections?
- Yes; when a project requires permits, we coordinate permitting and inspections with the local authority.
- How soon can I get an estimate?
- For most projects we schedule a site visit within a few business days and provide a written estimate shortly after.
- What does “monetary limit $300,000” mean?
- It’s the maximum single project size our Tennessee license allows us to contract. We can perform projects at or below that amount.
- How long do typical projects take?
- Small repairs may be days; kitchens and baths are often measured in weeks; additions can take several months depending on scope and lead times.
- Do you offer a warranty?
- Yes. We provide warranty and care guidance at close-out. Details depend on the project and materials.
- Are you insured and bonded?
- We carry required insurance for our scope of work. Bonds are provided when a project or jurisdiction requires them.
- Do you work with out-of-state investors?
- Yes. We regularly work with out-of-area buyers and investors on Knoxville and East Tennessee fix and flip and rental projects. See the Investing with ETBI section for how we structure communication, scopes, and updates.
- How do private lenders fit into your projects?
- Private lenders can fund purchase and rehab while ETBI serves as licensed general contractor and project manager. We provide scopes, budgets, and draw schedules so each phase of work is clearly documented and tied to progress on site.
- Can you help evaluate rehab budgets before I buy a property?
- Yes. For investor clients we can review photos, inspections, and your goals, then outline a rough scope, budget range, and timeline before you close, subject to a site visit to confirm details.
- Do you guarantee returns for investors?
- No. ETBI does not guarantee returns or outcomes. All real estate investments include risk, including possible loss of principal. You should review any project with your own financial, legal, and tax advisors.
- What types of projects are the best fit for your investing partners?
- We are a strong fit for single family homes, small multifamily, and light commercial projects in Knoxville and East Tennessee where construction can clearly increase resale value, rent, or refinance options and the total project size stays within our $300,000 monetary limit.
