Combo Mortgage Refi+New Acquisition
Has anyone out there try and refinance their asset to purchase another property and bundle both properties into 1 mortgage?
You obviously need a lot of equity in your current asset to even consider. I have about 75% equity so what I am trying to do is find a property for the same value and have a combo mortgage of about 60% LTV.. I would only have to put in a minimal amount on the 2nd property.
Numbers look like this
Property A $2M $500k debt $1.5M equity
Property B $2M to acquire
New Mortgage $2.4M = buy out $500k Property A $1.9M towards Property B..
need $100k + closing costs to purchase Property B
$2.4M debt $4M assets = 60% LTV
I think 60% LTV is plenty and any higher I believe is over leveraging.
