no one is doing 80% right now.

75% should be fine as well. With delayed financing (i.e finance within 6 months) its 70% what some lenders told me. So anything more than 70% is good. Thanks!

Well loan to value is loan amount divided by value. You either need to reduce the loan amount or increase the value of the property.

Without knowing anything about the property not much advice can be given but on a property that low in value appreciation will not do much - an addition would increase value but also increase cost…


Thanks Chris.
In this case since it’s a cash purchase there is no loan amount. Assuming the value of the multi family hasn’t increased from its price point of 120k, in 6months, I’m looking for options to pull my initial cash investment out as much as possible. If I had gone the conventional way, I would have put 25% down and be done, since I did cash purchase, if I do delayed financing its 30% down. So I was looking for options to see if I can do 25% after a cash purchase.

Wait six months.

Thanks. Wait six months and then cash out refi I’m assuming is what you meant. At that point do lenders offer 75-80% LTV for multi family? Anything more than 70% LTV is better.

Hi folks,

What are some alternatives to maximize the LTV ratio after a cash purchase? For instance, if you buy a home for $120,000 in cash, one option is delayed financing, where you can obtain a conventional mortgage with a 70% LTV for multi-family properties (i.e. 30% down). However, I'm interested in exploring other possibilities that could potentially offer a higher LTV, such as 75% to 80% for multi-family properties.

Property is not in an LLC, but owner's name.

Welcome any guidance here! Thanks!

Akshay,

I would also encourage you to look into Indiana all around Carmel.  A lot of my customers have had tremendous success there using Beau Matlock with the Matlock Group.  There is a ton of multifamily homes priced extremely well.  There is also a lot of large areas upcoming and pretty much gentrifying entire neighborhoods. You can still pick up a 2 unit DuPlex from $110K-$225K depending on turnkey or needing renovations.


 Thanks, Jason! I'll check them out. Appreciate the input.

Hi folks!

I've been on the hunt for a quad in Cleveland, OH for a few months now, with the help of a realtor. Unfortunately, I've lost a few bids and heard mixed reviews about the local market. A friend suggested that I look into Alabama due to its affordability, steady job growth, and tax incentives. I'm curious to know, if you were in my shoes, where would you start your search for a quad in the current market?

Thanks for the recommendations!

Quote from @Tom Gimer:

@Akshay Wattal I'm not surprised that is what was said. They are hoping creditors will simply throw their hands up and say well that's it, no point in pursuing this further. The decision to bring a lawsuit against the entity (which obviously did not die) or pursue the principal via a claim against the estate is simply a business one. Does it make sense to spend $ to chase this debt or no? Avvo.com is a good source for consumers to find local attorneys and practice areas.


 Thank you Tom. That's a great point. I'll check out Avvo.com. Appreciate all the guidance, the amount here is big enough (pre-paid rents for 5-6 months) that I'm inclined to get an attorney.

In addition to what Mike said, talk to the tenant and have them deal with you directly.  They may be able to cancel the payment for April and send you the money.


 Thanks, Theresa. Unfortunately, the pre-payment rent check was from Feb-June and that has been cashed out by the PM owner before passing away.


Do they often pay that much of their rent in advance?  Contact the probate attorney who contacted you.


Usually it would be 2-3 months together since the tenant was on a government program and the check would come from Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance (WERA). This assistance program ended in Jan 2023 and the tenant had pre-paid rents for Feb-June 2023 to the PM company, not sure why they did that. The probate attorney sent me a note this morning that I can't get the funds it's not there.

Quote from @Tom Gimer:

The company may be going out of business because the broker/owner is dead, but it is likely an entity which has to wind up its affairs, including marshaling assets such as receivables from other contracts. If it made financial sense I would hire a collection attorney and attach those receivables.


 Thanks, Tom! I was hoping when they close out and reconcile the books everything would be sorted. Unfortunately, I received a response this morning from the third party attorney who was handling this PMs legal side that there aren't any funds and I can't get any money back. Seems like I would need to hire a collection attorney. Would you have any recommendations? Thank you!
