Private Money for a Multifamily Down Payment?
Hey there BP!!
Has anyone had luck using private money for a down payment on a property? I'm in north Texas (DFW) area and am trying to figure out my options to raise the cash to close on a deal.
Here is my situation:
Just got a 35 unit complex under contract with a partner. I need to bring 130K to the table but don't have that much in cash at the moment (I'm starting to build up cash reserves again after a business deal went sideways). I have great credit (750+) and very strong income. We have deal terms with a local bank that is familiar with the property (4.5%, 25 yr AM, 5 yr term). The property will cash flow ~4200 month as is.
I could go get a few personal loans to cover the down payment but I'm concerned it would put the deal in jeopardy from a credit/financing standpoint.
Any thoughts on options here that are more off the books from the bank's perspective?
Thanks!
