I came across this "PML" via facebook and everything was going great until it came down to the day. I was maybe getting the property under contract. He wanted me to paypal him 750 so that he would send the 20k needed to bridge the gap in the loan.

While Facebook can be great to connect with institutional loan officers, mortgage brokers, etc.., true private money is a little more difficult in my humble opinion. The best place for true private money is usually in your local meet-ups! Glad you dodged a major bullet!
Quote from @Zach Howard:

Hi, I'm researching financing options for non-US citizens who wish to purchase multifamily investment properties - around 4 units to start with, for example. 

If you know of any lenders or if you are one of them, please feel free to reach out. I prefer public comments here before you send a direct message, though. 

I work outside of the US (Hong Kong), making slightly north of 100k per year, with scheduled salary bumps of approximately 4k per year. 

Thanks. 

Foreign national DSCR loans are a popular option! While downpayment requirements are higher, still a great option.
Quote from @Aaron Raffaelli:

As the title suggests, I am just starting to enter the REI world. My first deal looks like it will fall through because the bank doesn't like my work history. (4 months as a union electrician, which the bank considers contract work). I am wondering if any lenders or knowledgeable investors know how feasible it could be to get a DSCR loan as a first-time home buyer/investor. I am 21 with excellent credit and have enough/will have enough for the high down payment they require. I know and am prepared to do all the overhead work necessary to find a property that will qualify, but I just want to know if it is possible in my situation. If so (and even if not), I would love any recommendations to a loan officer in the metro Detroit area.

Thank you in advance,

Aaron Raffaelli

Aaron,

Yes, it should be entirely possible! I’m local and happy to connect if we can help.

I have a home under our names. I want to cash out refinance and close it under our LLC as DSCR mortgage. Its being operated at STR from last 30 months with great cash flow. Please reach out if you are a lender or can connect me.

5 Bed 2 Full Bath & 2 Half Bath

Existing Mortgage ~$550,000

Home Value ~$1.1+ Mil

Sounds like a great deal. I would love to connect and get you pricing!
Quote from @Mark A. McElhannon:

I'm curious on peoples go to approach to secure financing for an investment property - use a broker? start w local bank or CU ? or even a local brick and mortar bank?

 If you’re doing a straight forward investment property purchase, I recommend you try to connect with an investor focused mortgage broker or lender. Look up different real estate groups or meet-ups and you are likely to find someone there as a start. I try to attend meet-ups as the guy on the other side 😉.

Quote from @Ben Wisan:

Hi all,
I am newer to this website and community.

quick question for everyone. I have multiple properties and am thinking of just doing non qm loans moving forward. I don’t want the hassle of conventional lending. It only seems like 1.5% difference.

thoughts? 

P&L, Bank Statement, DSCR etc


Very common for investors to make the switch when they need to or when the cons are no longer greater than the pros compared to conventional loans.

Quote from @Jorge Armas:

Hello BP,

I recently found two lenders that offer 5% rate loans. I'm not sure if this is legit. Have you received this type of advertising as well? I found them on FB. I sent them a DM and they sent me the Terms which I will be sharing with you here. Is this a SCAM? 

I agree with Jeff, proceed with caution. 
Quote from @Tyler Carter:

Recently completed a cash-out refi and want to take that money and buy 2 additional properties (~$200k or less each).  Currently have 3 rentals and conventional lending has been my norm, but all the local lenders are predominantly 25% down.  Some have a 20% down, but the rate rises significantly.  Great credit scores and plenty of income from my W-2 source.  Are there decent 15% or 20% options out there for purchases in Alabama?

Unfortunately there is a rate adjustment adjustment between 75% and 80% ltv on almost any product. You may want to look at concessions to help cover costs or buy down your rate to a comfortable payment.

Quote from @LaTonya Clark:

Just got an accepted offer on a quad. Seller won’t budge on price and it will be tight for cash flow. Is it smart to take out a 40 year loan to get some cash flow? 

In my experience, 40-year terms have rarely made sense. The longer amortization is often offset by a higher interest rate and makes little difference compared to a 30-year. 
Quote from @Cory M.:

I'm an American living and working overseas. My job has steady income, but no W2s and no pay stubs. I recently bought my first investment property with a conventional loan, but the lack of W2s and living overseas made it a bigger hassle. Are there any simpler loan options I should research as I start thinking about our next property?


Cory,

As others have mentioned, a DSCR loan may be a great alternative. Qualifying without the traditional debt to income ratio requirements can make situations like your own, a bit easier! There may be some nuances to your situation, but, we have definitely assisted others living abroad.


Cheers!
