Looking for rehab loan on owned property

Crystal Robens
Posted

Our second home, which is a rural 1920s farmhouse, was hit by a car.  I am a licensed contractor and the repairs will be ~$70k to rebuild.  I want to take out a loan but I keep running into issues.  My credit history is perfect, but my score is low (~640) thanks to a high debt to income ratio.  
It used to be my primary residence, but I bought another house - so I already have a primary mortgage.   The house will be worth ~$270k when repaired.   As-is value is at least $130k (it's on 9 acres and the guest house and shed are intact).  Ideas on lenders???    Is this a "refinance" or not?  Between it being secondary home, my mediocre credit, it being owned and not already financed - I can't seem to find one!
