Seasoning Period Solution- Rate and Term Re-fi?
Hey BP Lenders!
Looking for an outside-of-the-box solution here:
My situation:
I'm in the process of constructing a solution to the 6 month seasoning period for a 30 year note in by BRRRR process. I purchased the property with cash, and I've only owned it two months, so I can't seem to find a 30 year note option.
Which led me to Rate and Term re-fi's. I understand there are no seasoning requirements. The problem is: I don't have a note on the property, so I'm technically not paying off an existing mortgage and therefore ineligible.
My questions:
1) Can I file a note against my own property (with an LLC I own or a family member as the "lender") and therefore be eligible for a Rate and Term re-fi?
2) Are there any legitimacy qualifications for the "lender" being paid off?
Extreme example: What if I have my grandma file a 15-year, owner-finance note with the county? I would immediately be eligible for rate and term re-fi, pay her back, and not wait 6 months.

Contact @Jerry Padilla as he has had success with rehab costs and purchase price lumped in together.
