BRRR: challenge in finding a lender to refi without seasoning
All,
Lately, I've been looking into deals in Houston that I can use BRRRR strategy on.
Has anyone done this and what's your experience on it?
I've only done a straight forward buy & hold rental property with conventionally financing so this is a new challenge for me.
I think my biggest issue is not knowing how to refi and get 75% of appraised value back as cash?!
Does that ever work for anyone? From what I read, it looks like people are either having to
1) rent it out first and wait for 6 months to refi (this is to qualify for the required minimum seasoning period for most lenders)
2) refi right after rehabbing the property but only get 75% of purchase price + rehab cost back
What's everyone's input on this subject?
