Converting a Rehab into a Rental

[Lee Huffman]

I'm in the middle of a second flip property in Fayetteville, NC, and we've decided to investigate turning it into a rental to add to our portfolio. Currently, we are using a Rehab LOC from the bank to finance the purchase and repairs (75% of purchase price and 75% of repairs). Does anyone have suggestions on how to finance this into a 30 year mortgage? A couple of banks and brokers said I may need to hold onto it for a year before I can refi it based on ARV. ARV should be $115k. Bought it for $60k and have put in about $35k. Complicating matters - I already have 4 residential loans: primary residence and 3 rentals. Potential solutions - my wife isn't on any of my property loans and neither is my business partner, so maybe they can "buy" the property?
