With the move down in the treasury market, has anyone priced out DSCR loans? Just curious where rates are pricing out currently.


We are seeing a lot of movement downward within our firm and with our clients. Obviously based on your FICO, but seeing 6s pretty consistently with some programs with qualifying FICO/values.

Quote from @Dan Porter:

Good afternoon all,

Looking for some quick advice as this is my first REFI and I am having alot of doubts. I bought this property in college, renovated it while renting out the spare rooms and no use the property as a long term rental. I would like to pull the equity so I can continue building my portfolio. However I am having doubts- rates are so high right now I will be making under $100/month in cash flow. My cash out will be 66k, which is very exciting, but I will need a 16% return to justify the loss in cashflow. Below are some additional numbers:


Previous loan:

88k

2.75% int

$950/month cash flow

New loan:
168k

7.625% int

100/month cash flow

Please let me know what you think of this.. I can REFI when rates get low again- but there is no telling how long that will be and it costs 5-10k to refi.. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!


You could refinance at less leverage, which should lower your rate and lower your total loan amount which would, in turn, lower your monthly payment and cash flow a little better.

Question just becomes a 'cash now vs. cash later' situation.

Able to put money in / cover the rehab and a down payment, just need to find a way to get to total amount needed


Hey Darian,

There are a few, how many flips/properties have you worked on in the last couple of years? Will likely dictate the leverage you would get with those groups.

Quote from @Elias Hay:

looking to expand my rental portfolio by looking at properties in St. Louis and Indiana. most of the properties been viewed are between 70 and $100,000. Are there lender recommendations that do loans under 80,000? especially DSCR?

Hey Elias,

They do exist, but often times (as the other Elias pointed out) the fees will be a flat rate which you feel a little deeper on smaller loans. 

That being said, I do know a few that will do that, so if the property cash flows well and you want to leverage that for a few smaller ones, then I would be happy to point you in the right direction.

Good luck!

Quote from @Piper Pepperidge:

Most lenders impose a minimum 100-150k lending amount, even less will go below the minimum and lend on an LLC. And 60-90k is also typically too low for dscr loans. Wondering if anyone knows any good places?


 Hey Piper,

Just shot you a DM but there are some good programs down there but the fees are something to be aware of. Often times when you have minimum loan amounts you also have minimum fees that look fine at $200k-$300k, but at $50k those flat fees are a bigger chunk. 

Good luck!

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations or successful personal experiences with investor friendly lenders in the Ohio/Columbus area. Would like to find financing options (DSCR/Traditional) for a cash purchase i've renovated and are looking to hold long term. If you have had a good experience please let me know.


Reid, 

Sent a DM and happy to recommend. As a heads up, without knowing too much, I know my portfolio clients up in OH need lenders that can do loan amounts below 100k, so if you have any of those, make sure to tell them going into it.

Good luck!

Hello, so I bought my first house and before I bought it, I didn't know about the BRRRR Method. I purchased the house for $145,000 and they were asking for $180,000. It appraised for $150,000. Renovations would cost around $30,000 but the only things I've done are Plumbing, foundation work, gas line, and new windows. All of this has cost me about $10,000. I paid in cash for all of this. My question is, since I already closed on the house, can I still do the BRRRR method? If so, how do I go about it. Should I do a HELOC to renovate the rest? I'm thinking of doing the BRRRR method but house hacking it since it's my first home. Is this possible? I just started watching a lot of videos on the BRRRR method and don't know what to do after doing those repairs. Can someone give me advice? I have all the numbers from the loan if someone needs them to help me run it and for it to make sense for me. I guess I'll see if I made a good deal or not in order for this to work.


Blanca,

Yes, you could take a HELOC for the remaining repairs, or refinance into a bridge loan and get some capital back to make those repairs, and then refinance into the long term loan that you are looking for.

Your bridge loan would be that 6-12 month Interest-only loan with no prepayment penalty. This would allow you to get some cash out, make the final repairs, and then do the final cash out refinance to prepare for your next one.

Good luck!


 But would I only be able to get 5k out since it only appraised for 150k?


Did you purchase it with all cash or with a loan?

Quote from @Hunter Gibson:

Hi Everyone,

I'm seeking a private money lender for a $350k loan to finance a small commercial 6-unit rental property. I'm able to provide a 10-12% returns or equity if they prefer, with the seller financing the remainder.

Does anyone have advice on connecting with private money lenders and securing the necessary funding?

Thank you! 


Hey Hunter, 

Are you looking for a true private money lender, or more of a DSCR style lender? There is a lot of similarities but I wanted to confirm what you were needing.

Quote from @Jose Laffitte:

Hello All,

I am fairly new to REI and taking some baby steps to do research and find lenders that will fit my needs. Has anyone used BackFlip to fund any deals?


Hey Jose,

Yes, I have worked with them multiple times and they are very solid. I have found that their sweet spot is after you have flipped 2 properties, as they have a number of programs (Zero Gravity, Double-Double, and standard) that can suit your deal and what you need at that time.

Happy to help navigate it if you are needing some help breaking them down.

Good luck!
