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!

Hello all, 

I have a property in DFW that I have a hm loan on. Due to a serious of misfortunate events I am in default now. I owe my lender about 8k. Right now my debt is sitting at around 154k (8k outstanding interest payments). The value of the home is around 245k, although it has not been appraised that is the 'desktop evaluation', whatever that is worth. What I am looking to do is refinance, or pull out equity so I can get back on track with my lender and continue searching for a buyer. Any suggestions? Should I refinance, I know I cannot do HELOC because it is not my primary residence. I had seen an ad recently from quickloans about something they offer, they give cash for the equity and then when you sell the property they are paid? I dont know much about that though.

THanks!

Without knowing the full details or your experience, you may be able to rate and term refinance into a bridge loan until you sell.
Quote from @Sushil Iyer:

We have a SFH and a duplex that we own free and clear, and a duplex on which we have a residential mortgage. Each of these properties is in a different location and was purchased at a different time. Is it possible to re-finance these separate properties as a group in a single loan? Does the fact that these were purchased separately and are at different locations make that option unavailable? The idea is to re-fi in a single transaction, which, I assume, will have benefits over three separate transactions. Please advise. Thank you.

If they’re in the same state, it should be doable in a portfolio loan. It can save on costs but can have some significant cons. Tying the properties together and dealing with partial releases when you sell or refinance one, etc. can all be a headache. Happy to look at things both ways on a DSCR loan(s) to see if it makes sense.

Post: DSCR financing for multiple cabins in Hocking Hills

Quote from @Joshua Myers:

We have 3 A frame cabins built on a single 5.5 acre lot in Hocking Hills. It has been financed all cash so far and we plan on building a total of 6 additional cabins in phases over the next three years. We are exploring options, but aren't too excited about taking on 7 figures of debt on a construction loan. We are looking for a DSCR loan on the existing three cabins to use as permanent working capital while to fund the rest of the project via equity.

If anyone knows a good lender in the area that can work with these constraints please let me know.

Thanks!

Do you have some actuals on the properties? Happy to see if we can help!
Quote from @Michael Nguyen:

New to this community, heard great things. New investor looking to learn a lot. Thank you in advance. 

As I mentioned I'm a new investor. I am creating an llc with a couple friends as we go into this new endeavor. My questions is. When getting a DSCR loan whose credit score is the lender going to use? Will they require all members or just one?

Great question to ask the lender you want to work with. Each can have a variation of their credit policy. You may also want to ask when a member must be a guarantor of the loan, if a hard or soft credit inquiry is done, and if the loan reports to personal credit.

cheers!
Quote from @Dennis Knapp:

they got ahold of me on fb through one of my groups and claim to be a direct lender. they seem to good to be true. I want to make sure i dont get scammed out of $1,000's on my first big deal. thanks for any info. 

Many times if it sounds too good to be true it is. 5% down and 5% on a rate would be well below industry average currently
Quote from @Ryan Dunn:

Hi,

I have two BRRRR loans with Fixated Funding, both starting and closing on the same day. One loan was locked at 6.9%, the other at 7.1%. However, I just received the closing docs, and the rate on the 6.9% loan has been increased to 7.8%. I wasn't notified about this change until I saw it myself.

When I asked why, they said the home inspection found some issues that were fixed and re-inspected, but I’m confused why this would result in a rate increase. Also, Fixated moved my closing date a few times, but luckily I didn’t have another deal at risk.

Does this sound typical? I’m mainly concerned about the rate change happening without prior notice, especially since both loans started and are closing on the same day.

I’m scheduled to sign tomorrow and close on Friday. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

 Ryan,


I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. If the appraisal inspection changes the details in any way, it could have led to pricing changes. If there were delays, the rate lock could have also expired. In any event, better communication could have been had to keep you in the know!
