Hello all!

I'm an experienced investor that's emerging from a difficult period. Need input / ideas / comments on following pls.

I have 2 SF rentals that I'm facing foreclosure on as I fell behind w/ the mortgage payments on (due to unrelated problems). Those other probs have now gone away plus I'm making a lot more dough from my regular work/day job these days. My credit is poor right now but can easily be improved as my income is much better lately. 

I owe approx. $40k in arrears on each. Seeking either lien in amount of arrears, or refi of each if poss.

Approx. #s: value: $440k each, total debt: $310k each (incl. arrears), prop taxes/mo: $500, insurance/mo: $25, common charges/mo: $380, rents/mo: $2700 & $2250

Pls feel free w/ any solutions / input / ideas.

Tx

Dave

Hi Dave,

we may be able to help with a bridge loan on one or both to help. Happy to connect and see if that’s an option.

cheers,

Andrew

I want to buy an investment property in the United States. I have a good credit score (791 based solely on credit cards) make almost $200,000 per year, and have very healthy investment and retirement accounts in America. But I live abroad. Can I get a good mortgage? 

A foreign national loan should work. It is usually reduced leverage but an option!

A quick internet search suggests that foreign national loans can provide up to 75% LTV. Is that correct? DSCRs seem to be up to 80%. Is there a benefit to foreign national loans for a US citizen with a US credit score (the 791 I mentioned in the original post is my American score)? How do the interest rates usually compare between the two?

Matt,

I believe I initially misread your post, please accept my apologies! A loan for a foreign national would be applicable if you are not a US citizen.

I have started purchasing a few investment properties and have an LLC. Everything has been cash so far but I have contacted several local banks and all of them have said about 1-2%+ above regular mortgage rates, 3-5y ARM with 15-25y term, and 20-30% down. This is before I mention having an LLC or anything. I have no debt, significant equity, good W-2, and excellent credit. I'm fine with the money down and shorter term but the higher rates and the ARM I am not a fan of in general. How are people buying multiple non owner occupied properties on fixed rate traditional 30y mortgages?

Jay stated it well, find the right lender to chat with. It sounds like you’re being quoted on commercial loans.
Yes I am being quoted commercial loans. They have all said if it’s a rental property it has to be a commercial loan. I have talked to 5 different lenders. 
As others have said, conventional investment loans are an option, as well as DSCR loans. Both offer fixed rates and 30-year terms as a nice contrast to commercial financing. For a conventional loan, you can find a local broker using https://mortgagematchup.com/.

For DSCR loans (if you want or need to go that route) many of the lenders on here like myself can likely assist.

cheers and happy Friday!

Hey Guys,

I'm searching for a list of lenders who provide HELOCs. Who have you used recently?

Thanks,

A lot of lenders (mortgage brokers) utilize figure 
https://www.figure.com/home-equity-line/ if it helps you at all.

Hi guys, I purchased a home with seller financing last year and did some renovations. It will be going up for rent this week. I have about $120k left on seller financed loan and the house is worth $280k. What's my best way to get cash out of the house? 

I would think any cashout refinance would accomplish your goals on this one. 
Quote from @Ilya G.:
  1. Hello,
  2. I have several SFRs that have lots of equity in them and I wondering if anyone used a method of cross-collateralization to pledge the equity as collateral, thus avoiding doing a cash-out refinance or HELOC. It seems like a good strategy but would appreciate any advice and if anyone worked with banks/lenders that provide a service like that.
  3. Thank you in advance!
When I have seen this done or done this for clients, the properties being crossed are generally refinanced into the same loan, replacing your first lien (blanket/portfolio loan). Not every lender may do it that way, but that will likely be the most common method. The lenders I have seen that will cross properties as a second lien are generally strictly hard money or asset based.
Quote from @Cynthia Stith:

I have a SFH investment property that currently has no mortgage. It just appraised for $300k. I tried to do a traditional cash-out refi from my previous lender and because I am self-employed, my W2s showed some business losses which skewed the debt-to-income past their acceptable level. I have great credit, verified income through bank statements, and cash reserves.

Any suggestions on whether or not Hard Money, DSCR, or anything else might be a better fit? Thanks!

It sounds like a DSCR loan could be a great tool since it will not look at your personal income. Plenty of lenders on here like Myself would be happy to help!

Quote from @Allan Yeung:

For BRRR, after a property is renovated, they can approach a lender to do a cash out refi. Does the lender evaluate based on ARV? or Purchase Price + Repair cost only? Also is there any restriction like time period (at least x months after initiate purchase)? Would this be considered as DSCR product? Any help is appreciated.

As others have said, seasoning varies by product. DSCR is often selected for the BRRRR method because it flexible seasoning. Happy to chat about your project to see how we can help.
