Best option for multi-family cash-out?
My partner and I just closed on our third property. It was a cash deal and we've become increasingly disappointed about restrictions in lending:
2 months ago: We're buying this around 20% below fair market value. We'll be able to pull out 100% of cash based on 80% LTV. - Nope...Purchase price is used for first 12-24 months unless substantial remodel is done.
1 month ago: No worries. We'll hold in both names and one of us will get an agency loan (to prevent it from counting against both of our limits). - Nope...will count against both.
Today: It's not even that good. Can't use agency money for cash-outs until we've been on title for 12 months.
I feel like there are some magic words I'm missing here. Any thoughts on the best option? Property is in Missouri.
Thanks.
