$600k loan is already 80% of the ARV, which is not typical for 5+ Units. Additionally, it is very difficult to source a lender that will lend at a 9% interest rate when most private lenders are at 10.5-12% for this kind of transaction.
Good Luck!
I can realistically see this at 65-70% the initial Purchase Price and maybe some of the renovations financed at a limit to 65-70% of the ARV.
Thank you for your response. I appreciate your insights, and I agree with the points you've made. That's why I specifically used the term "around 9%"—to allow flexibility in negotiations based on the lender's comfort level. I have previously secured financing for 75% ARV, including rehabilitation costs, on another property, and I am aiming to replicate that success here. While I am not a lender or an expert, I value your perspective and recognize that your opinion is likely more accurate than my own experience.
ACQ, it's potentially possible to find a little higher leverage for this type of deal. Needle in a haystack however. Reason being is no one in secondary is picking up paper or trading for 70-75%+ as is on MF 5+.
Caution recommended entering with higher leverage just because it saves money today. You will most likely end up in a cash injection situation on exit to term debt.
