BRRRR with High DTI
Dear All,
I'm considering doing my first BRRR but I have a question regarding the BRRR strategy while having a high DTI and I'm curious to know how others have handled this predicament.
According to the bank I'm working with (Chase) I currently have a high DTI. This is no surprise and I understand the reason for it, which is due to 4 rentals, a primary residence a car loan and one personal loan.
I have very good credit and access to private money but I'm a bit unsure how the bank will treat the refinance with the high DTI.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You!

Bank lenders are basically idiots following cook book rules. Those nuts didn't underwrite adding in your rent and adding back your depreciation off your Sched E. YOu need to find a bank lender who knows how to underwrite a rental purchase. Your DTI goes DOWN with each rental purchased and rented.
I know this org/guy does it write; Vance Blew at swbc.com PM me for direct contact.
True the commercial/soft money/portfolio (now a generic term) lenders are DSCR based, but 70% LTV, at most 75% LTV, 7%-9% so high interest and a few points for expense. But they don't care about DTI, I've done 2 of these. As long as you buy right, DSCR >1.7 ish you'll do well even at higher insterest rate.
