how to fund this deal?

Member since 2019 · 21 posts · 2 votes
Theres 3 properties out in Georgia going as a package for $42,000 from a wholesaler. The properties aren't in the best of shape nor are they in a great area but they are in livable conditions, occupied, and producing about $1200-1300 a month all together. 

Based on the numbers, its positively cash flowing and an overall decent deal so I'd like to jump on it. Problem is I only have about 10-15k to work with. BB&T bank is willing to give me a loan but they want all 3 properties on a separate contract which means I have to pay about 15k in closing costs alone. 

I've called like 30 banks and credit unions all over to see if they'd be willing to do it as one loan but either they don't do that or their minimums are like 60k per property. 

I was thinking maybe I can get a hard money deal then refinance asap? But I'm not even sure anyone will do it at 42k. However, if I do, how long does the refinancing process usually take and how much does it cost approximately? Do banks even refinance multiple properties at once? 

Seller isn't willing to do a finance deal....how would you go about this? Or should I just walk away? 

Thank you

    I would try looking for a private lender ( wealthy family members/friend). It also doesn’t hurt to try hard money either. If it’s a good enough deal, you can find the money. Might just take a little longer.

    Where in GA are the properties?

    Thanks for the response! Yea I'm trying to see if I can find a private lender but I'm worried about the refinance part. How long would a process take so that I'd be able to pay it back, especially if its multiple properties? 

    The properties are in Macon. 

    Thanks!

    @Danny J.

    You have two things working against you, the price point and the location. Macon isn’t the best known city in GA, and if the properties aren’t in a great location in Macon that makes it harder.

    Are you planning on making any improvements to the property? I would say if you could find a hard money or private lender for the acquisition and rehab, you might have a better time refinancing because of the improved value.

    But I think refinancing solely based on cash flow without improvements is going to be hard because of the reason stated above.

    What will the ARV be of each property if you rehabbed them?

    @Danny J. Be very careful buying in Macon because values are spiraling downward at a fairly rapid rate!
