Mortgage Lendors Recommendation

Posted May 29 2024, 13:56

Anyone have a recommendation on investor friendly mortgage lenders in the Chicagoland area? I want to get a HELOC so I can buy another property but the seller is willing to finance 100K and my lender is not happy with that. Thanks in advance.

Hi Rok,

We offer HELOCs on investment properties over at Lower.com - it is rare and we're a near National Lender. We're not a Quicken Clone, loan advisors are experts in all manner of programs, "blending technology with a handshake".

Quick highlights - 1-4 unit, business statement loans, down to 660 up to 90% CLTV and more.

@Rok Nrekaj - what are the numbers?  What is the purchase price?  Is the property tenanted?

 Hi Simmy, thanks for commenting. My current property is an owner occupied legal 3 flat with non conforming basement, and the one I want to buy is also a 3 flat with non conforming basement, owners are moving out after the deal is done. My current property is cash flowing while the new one is not because of low rents, however after I remodel and raise rates, it will cash flow (it is about 100k under market price). Feel free to pm me and we can talk more.
