Post: Looking at a LIHTC Property

Hi everyone! I'm looking at a LIHTC in AZ and just wondering if anyone has any experience with this? The property has about 3 years left and then has 3 years for a De-Regulation period.

I'm not sure if there is any tax credits left. With how many years are left, do you know if there are any loopholes to get out of the compliance? If we haven't received any of the tax credits, what would it matter? What can happen if your not in compliance?

Any information would be great

Looking for financing on a 23 unit. Is there anything with 20% down. Are there any loans programs out there doing that right now?

Hi everyone! I purchased a 20 unit apartment complex about 1 1/2 yrs ago. The 1st investor completed the rehab and was only at 40% occupancy when I purchased it. Since then I fired the apartment manager, cleaned house and have been running 90%-100% for over a year.

I did complete some additional things that was needed for the property, but honestly it was a management move.

So now I would like to refinance my property and wanted to know if anyone can recommend some brokers? This was my first deal, so the broker I went though got me a loan but I'm at a 7% interest rate and I want to get down to 4.5% to 5.5%.

I purchased the property for $645k, I put around $161k down and another $40k into the property.

Credit is decent, a little over 700

The original broker that I went through could do it, but the interest rate would go up, not down. I have a good payment history and have doubled the income on the property.

Mike, Thanks! Yes property is stabilized and the money is flowing great. I will start reaching out to some brokers

Shop around.  If you added a bunch of value and have a stabilized property for nine months, there should be plenty of lenders interested.

Simultaneously executing a refinance and the purchase of another property will have unknowns (timing, valuation, loan approval, etc.)...and contingencies the seller does not like.

Greg, I just started the process. I reached out to broker a few months back and he shot me down so fast...SO I just rolled with it. The property is cashflowing great and I figured no big deal :), but the other day I started searching and came across a property that I'm interested in. So now I'm eager to get around this road block.

@Aaron C., with the information that you provided, it is impossible to tell. Are you not able to get a 75% refinance? It could be challenging to get around seasoning unless you did the rehab as "improved management" is less tangable in the value-add arena as an actual rehab. Again without any other information it is impossible to tell, but you could be getting DSCR constraints as well.

Thanks John, I appreciate the feed back!

@Aaron C. I would speak to multiple lenders to see if anyone else is interested in doing the deal. I have found that commercial lenders seem to specialize in different aspects. Some lenders like to do the initial purchase, but are not big into refinances. Others don't mind doing refinances. 

You may need to hang onto the property a bit longer as well. Many lenders will want to see you have a tax return or two completed to prove the new income. I know this isn't what you want to hear, as all of BP strives for the quick "BRRRR". I am just about to start a refinance on a property I acquired in Berwyn in 2017. The commercial deals require a lot of seasoning before lenders will really consider the bump in income.

Hi Everyone, so I purchased my first Multi-Family 20 Unit Apartment complex a little over a year ago as a reposition play on management. The first investor put all the work into rehabbing the property.

It's been a little over a year and I have had this property at 90%-95% occupied for the last 9 months. I started talking to some brokers about refinancing the property and they said that I needed more money into the deal. I only put the down payment and about 20k of capital improvements into it and have brought the income up 60% per month. I bought the property at a steep discount.

Has anyone else encountered this before? Any tips on how to get pass this roadblock. I have my eye on another property and want to leverage my current property for the next deal.

Hi I never followed up, but It will be something that I will negotiate with the seller on the next purchase. 

Post: Apartment on Lease Land

Looking at an apartment building that is on a lease land with 11 years to go that has a fixed lease rent until it expires.

Will find out more details tomorrow on what happens once the lease is  up.

What are your thoughts?

Has anyone purchased property on a lease land?

Thanks in advance

Well, today was interesting!

Closing on my first deal and a few hours before signing the loan docs, I get a call from the lender that they can't do the deal with 20% down now, it will have to be 25%! Which equals additional $32K!! (my loan is for $640K) I was heated! With all the credits and everything, it will end up being additional $22K out of pocket.

So is this typical?

Their reasoning was because the current rent roll came in and one tenant was evicted because of that 1 tenant, it through the numbers off....

Is there a clause you can put in your contract doing the Escrow that the seller would be responsible for anything like that?

Thanks!
