Looking for advice on Refinancing plan
Hey, this is my first post, and after many hours of listening to podcasts, and reading these forums i am looking for some feedback on my plan.
The details:
Single Door Property Purchased 2019: 325,000
Property appraised at 345,000 at time of purchase.
Renovated property into 2 doors.
Longterm renter in one unit, second unit we used for Airbnb
2 Partners invested in property
Private lender at $200,000, at a 2% interest rate but set to a low amortization period so monthly payments are $2100
The remaining amount is out of pocket by the two investors
The Issue:
Currently the property does not cashflow due to the high loan repayment plan, and the inconsistency/expense of the airbnb rentals (and COVID of course). Cashflows at about a -$800 a month.
The plan:
Convert the second door into a long term rental. Get a new appraisal: Expecting a conservative $375000 appraisal. Refinance with a fixed-term mortgage from a bank (this would be 80% of appraisal value), and use that money to pay off the private lender, and pay off the other Partner who would be happy to be out of the house deal.
Questions:
Does that plan sound like it will work?
Are there complications with the house being in the other partners name and I want to take on the risk burden moving forward?
Are their complications because I live in BC, and the property is in Ontario, for tax purposes..etc?
Thank you for the feedback
