Finance snag on my first deal
Background-
Single Family HUD Home listed at $70,000
1457sqft
ARV $104,000
Repairs: 15k-20k
My bid was accepted for $62,000
ARV $104,000(Low)
My intent is to make the repairs out of pocket. This will be primary residences until I get orders, and then I would cash out refinance and rent it out.
I was pre-approved for a 30 year FHA loan 3.5% down @ 4% interest.
Today the loan officer told me she didn't think the home would pass FHA standards and refered me to another bank. She said after 6 months and once the repairs were made I could refinance with her. The new financing is 6 months interest only @ 5.5%
Question 1: What are the risks associated with this plan?
Question 2: Is there a better way to finance it?
Question 3: If in 6 months this is no longer my primary residence (due to Military PCS) will I still be able to refinance?
My numbers: | Month | Year |
Gross Rent | 950 | 11400 |
Property Management | 134.615 | 1615.38 |
Insurance | 80 | 960 |
Property tax | 91.92 | 1103.04 |
Vacancy | 76 | 912 |
Maintenance | 63 | 756 |
Total Expenses | 445.535 | 5346.42 |
Net Operating Income | 504.465 | 6053.58 |
Thanks for the help!
