BRRRR financing question
Hi all, need some financing advice. I have 2 single family rental properties. I purchased them w/ a HELOC using my home as collateral. One I purchased under my own name. Now as I am getting more into real estate, I purchased the second one under a S corp account I have from another business that's not doing much. I tried to see if I could get a HELOC on these rental properties and the banks I asked do not do that on investment properties. Am now thinking I want to get 30 yr mortgages on them. Want to be conservative and only take about 40-50 % of the equity out of them.... There's a friend of the family that does mortgages. The questions I have are, should I go through a mortgage broker for this or a bank? If I go to a bank, will I have issues with the one under a Corporation? Do I ask for a commercial loan and try to lump them up? Just trying to get enough cash out to do the next one. Any additional tips or creative ideas from someone who has gone through this would be greatly appreciated.
House 1 :
Purchase price 42000
Rehab cost: 50000
Appraised Value : 145000
Thinking 30 yr mortgage of 60000
House 2:
Purchase price 60000
Rehab cost: 60000
Appraised Value : 177000
Thinking 30 yr mortgage of 80000
Thanks so much,
Chris

@Chris B. I would NOT do a commercial loan that bundles them. Once bundled, and you want to sell one, its a nightmare to pull them apart. Let each stand on their own.

Did you type in HELOC Newfoundland on Google? I was able to find a few credit unions willing to loan on a LOC on a secondary property. There are banks out there who do not mandate it has to be on the primary, just keep looking. I am meeting with some this week in my area of Jacksonville. I will let you know what they say.
