Hi, I'm looking to refinance my Canton, OH (44714) BRRR property. Assumptions I provided to a mortgage broker is below. Below that was her response to a 30 yr fixed rate DSCR rates, plus origination and underwriting fees.

I would appreciate this community's thoughts on these rates, origination and underwriting fees. Thank you!

Assumptions:

Credit 720

Single Family Investment Property

Property Value: $120k

Amount financed: $90k or 75% LTV

NO Pre-Payment Penalty (not allowed in Ohio)

DSCR Ratio 1.25+

30 YR Fixed Rate DSCR:

  • 8.250% with $2475 in discount points. P&I payment: $660
  • 8.125% with $2148 in points. P&I payment: $668
  • 8.25% with $1800 in points. P&I payment: $676
  • 8.375% with $1462 in points. P&I payment: $684
  • 8.875% with $0 points. P&I payment: $716


Origination Fee: $4500

Underwriting fee: $1395

Based on what you presented, it does seem high. Even for no prepayment penalty and a lower loan amount. We’re close to 1% less and at less costs too! Let me know if you want a second look.

Hello Fellow Investors,

I am excited to be under contract for my first STR property, but I am getting nervous about the many things I'm already discovering. I am surprised that my lender is asking me to access Social Security Records and a tax transcript. Since this is a DSCR loan and I already provided account statements with proof of funds and my mortgage statement for the principal residence, I didn't expect much more would be required. I have no issues, but I didn't need to provide so much information, even for a conventional loan. I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.


Did the lender state the reasoning? It does seem a little weird they need that for a DSCR loan! Usually it is rather simple without the need for any tax information. It may be a good time to ask questions. We do these on LTR's and STR's for clients often and have never requested a tax transcript to my knowledge.

Newbie here. I have a situation that need advises. 

I won the bid from the county auction. 

The house is $225K value. I need $65K to close the auction. My usual lendor has the health issue and can no longer fund it. 

I have two other rental properties that I can use for collecteral. I own them free and clear.

I have contacted traditional lendor for a loan but looks like they can't close in time. What is my option here?


 I’m local and may be able to help. Let’s connect and see if we can put something together.

Hi, Everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am based in Australia and an Australian citizen looking to start investing in Duplex to  4plex-style residential. Perhaps you could say I am an experienced property investor, but I have precisely zero experience purchasing real estate in your country.  In the past, I have owned residential real estate in remote locations ( other countries than my own ) and been successful in buy-and-flip, buy-and-hold, and some simple small-townhouse developments. Right now, I am reading everything I can and preparing for my next research trip to North Carolina. My goals are not too crazy, but I do want to establish a portfolio that is significant to my family over the next ten years. Back home, I work as a mortgage broker. My real passion is residential real estate. I don't know if any of my experience will transfer to your country, but I have noticed over the years that despite the number crunching and research, real estate is ( for me at least ) a people business. That is, the real task is to find good like-minded people. Buying sight unseen is not an issue for me, but I would only buy in locations I have visited and walked.  Anyway, I value everyone's time, and just in case you see my name pop up in a forum thread, you will have some context. 

Definitely a people business, especially being out of country. Find a good team you can trust (realtor, property manager, and lender). With the right folks, it’s amazing what you can accomplish without ever being there in person.
Quote from @Ryan Dunn:

Have you guys noticed the rate drops on the DSCR loan side? Or do they keep them higher now thats the 30 year conventional is dropping.

Drops have pricing from 6’s+. Things like credit, DSCR, ltv, and prepayment penalty will affect rate ranges 
Quote from @Lauren Stark:

Hello! I have an off-market opportunity and want to jump on it! It is an a-frame in WI I want to turn into an STR. I have $70K of my own money I can use as a down-payment, but am looking for someone to finance the rest ($280K) as I'm a real estate agent and am having difficulty securing a loan from a traditional bank in a timely matter. I'd like to purchase as soon as possible. Does anyone have advice on creative ways to secure financing in a short amount of time?

A DSCR loan could be a great option from initial glance. Reach out if we can be of assistance and take a look for you.

Looking for some companies that can lock me in to a long term mortgage so I can get out from multiple ARM/balloon rates every 3 yrs. Properties in MS and TN

Happy to look at a portfolio loan (30-year term) or individual ones on the entire package. Let’s get you out of that balloon!

Quote from @Anna Doumkina:

My boyfriend and I are looking to purchase 5-10 properties in the next 12 months that will be then rented to Section 8 tenants. If we find good financing, we can purchase the houses in the next few months. This is in Ohio State.

I do not anticipate the purchase price to be higher than 80,000 USD. However, here is the tricky part. My boyfriend is a foreign national with an ITIN number, US address, and an AMEX in the USA, but he is not a US citizen, so a lot of the times, he is not offered good loan programs. I am a US citizen with a 680 credit score (actually, credit karma shows 680 for one bureau and 710 for another bureau), but I haven't worked in the USA for years, and overall, we are looking to get a DSCR loan. I have one Amex card showing up and a bunch of student loans - do banks take these as trades? Overall, I am trying to find a bank that can still do 85% LTV with this type of credit. Or if there are other nonconventional ways to find financing - please let me know! Since our goal is to scale in real estate and we do have the funds, we would prefer to minimize the deposits and invest into reno where necessary and keep the capital for now for improvements, if they arise. Thank you all in advance!


 Hi Anna,

We can do 80% ltv in this price range and regular do one or more properties for clients in OH markets. Please reach out if my team can help.

Quote from @John Currey:

I recently talked with a mortgage broker and me and my wife didn't qualify for a loan on  an investment property. I'm honestly surprised, right now our only debt payment is a 857 mortgage, no car payment no student loans no credit card debt, and good credit 740's. she doesn't make just a lot (41k a year) but with the 857 mortage payment, her debt to income shouldn't be much over 25%. Would we not qualify for a 55k loan? 

Did they give any additional details? Sometimes it’s hard to get a lower loan to qualify in general. As others have said, DSCR is an option. We go down to a 75k value/purchase price for example and some of the same tests that a loan this size may fail for a standard mortgage would not be an issue.
