How We Operate

This overview demonstrates how Cinch Home Buyers operates as an end buyer in North Carolina's investment property market. We acquire with our own capital, manage our own renovation pipeline, and hold or disposition based on market conditions. When you sell to Cinch, there is no assignment, no re-trade, and no third-party approval required. Your deal closes because we have the capital and the operational infrastructure to execute.

We Underwrite Every NC Submarket — Not Just the Primary Metros

Cinch Home Buyers has acquired investment properties in every major North Carolina market and dozens of secondary markets. From Class A suburban rentals in Cary and Apex to value-add duplexes in Durham's East End, from military housing portfolios near Fort Liberty to industrial-area SFRs in High Point and Burlington — we have direct transactional experience in every submarket we underwrite. Our offers aren't based on Zillow estimates; they're based on granular, comp-level analysis informed by hundreds of closed transactions.

Whether you're an out-of-state investor managing NC properties remotely, a local landlord ready to exit after 20 years, or a wholesaler looking for a reliable end buyer who can actually close — Cinch is your counterparty. We provide proof of funds within 24 hours of initial contact, and our closing track record speaks for itself.

How the Fund Works

The Cinch RE Rehab Fund is a private lending fund that deploys investor capital into fix-and-flip rehabilitation projects across North Carolina. Each loan is secured by a second position lien on real property, providing tangible collateral backing for every dollar invested.

Loan commitments are structured on a short 6-month cycle, keeping capital actively working and reducing long-term exposure. The fund is managed by an experienced operator with a track record of 200+ completed property transactions in the NC market.

Investors earn a preferred return, meaning fund profits are allocated to limited partners before any distributions to the management team. Your capital works for you while our team handles all sourcing, underwriting, rehab management, and disposition.

Investor Benefits
  • Preferred return paid first — investor distributions are prioritized ahead of management
  • Real property security (2nd lien) — every loan backed by tangible NC real estate collateral
  • Monthly distributions OR compounding — choose cash flow or reinvest to accelerate growth
  • Short-term 6-month commitment — capital stays active without long lock-up periods
  • Diversified across multiple projects — capital is spread across several active rehab deals simultaneously

Capital Protection

5 Layers of Security Protecting Your Investment

Every dollar you invest is backed by multiple layers of real asset protection — not promises.

Second Position Lien

Your investment is secured by a recorded lien on the physical property. If anything goes wrong, you have a legal claim on the real estate.

50-70% ARV Acquisition

Properties are acquired at 50-70% of After Repair Value, creating a substantial equity cushion that protects against market downturns.

Personal Guarantee

Every borrower provides a personal guarantee — their personal assets back the loan, not just the property.

Title Protection

NC-licensed title attorney handles every closing. Title insurance protects against liens, encumbrances, and ownership disputes.

Capital Diversification

Your capital is spread across multiple projects — no single deal concentration risk. Portfolio approach reduces exposure.

What Happens If a Loan Defaults?

In the unlikely event of default, the 50-70% ARV acquisition basis provides substantial equity cushion. The property can be liquidated to recover investor capital. The personal guarantee provides additional recourse. Across 200+ projects, Cinch has maintained a 0% default rate.

Past default rates are not indicative of future performance.

Investor Testimonials

Trusted by Investors Across North Carolina

Hear from landlords, portfolio holders, and wholesalers who chose Cinch as their exit partner — real transactions, real outcomes.

I held 8 rental properties in Raleigh and Fayetteville — some performing, some not. Cinch gave me a consolidated offer on all 8, handled the tenant transitions, and closed in 21 days. I rolled the proceeds into a 1031 exchange without missing a deadline. No other buyer I talked to could handle the whole package.

As a wholesaler, I need end buyers who actually close. Cinch has been my go-to disposition partner for over a year. They provide POF same day, never re-trade, and their closing timeline is exactly what they say it will be. I've assigned 5 deals to them and every single one closed on time.

5 wholesale assignments closed · Triangle area

I had a half-finished flip in Durham that my contractor abandoned. I was $40K in and looking at another $60K to finish. Cinch bought it as-is, mid-renovation, and closed in 14 days. I got my capital back and moved on to a better deal. No other cash buyer would touch an unfinished rehab.

Meet The Founder

Ryan Smith — Investor, Operator, Principal Buyer

Cinch Home Buyers was built by an investor, for investors. Ryan Smith has personally underwritten, acquired, renovated, and managed over 200 investment properties across North Carolina. He understands rent rolls, cap rate analysis, CapEx budgeting, 1031 exchange logistics, and the operational realities of managing a real estate portfolio — because he does it every day.

When you submit your portfolio to Cinch, you're not working with a call center or a junior acquisitions coordinator. You're working with an operator who has direct transactional experience in every major NC submarket — Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Wilmington, and dozens of secondary markets. Ryan personally reviews every portfolio submission and oversees underwriting on multi-property transactions.

This is not a wholesale operation that profits by flipping your contract to someone else. Cinch acquires, renovates, and holds investment properties with its own capital. When we make you an offer, it's backed by our balance sheet — not a buyer we haven't found yet.

As managing partner of the Cinch RE Rehab Fund, Ryan personally invests $100,000+ across active projects. Every deal is underwritten with operator skin in the game — aligning his interests directly with fund investors. With a historically zero default rate across 200+ properties, conservative underwriting discipline, and in-house project management, Ryan brings the same operational rigor to fund management that built Cinch's acquisition track record.

Investing in NC Communities

Building Wealth, Building Communities

Every property Cinch acquires gets put back to productive use — renovated to modern standards, occupied by quality tenants, and contributing to neighborhood stability. Our acquisition activity directly supports NC's housing supply by rehabilitating properties that would otherwise sit vacant and deteriorate. We also maintain an active community fund, with a commitment to donate $275,000 to North Carolina charities by 2030.

When you sell your investment properties to Cinch, you're not just exiting a position — you're transferring those assets to an operator who will improve them and reinvest in the communities where they're located.
