Quote from @Justin Landesman:

@Arshiya Taami Do you happen to have any other real estate that has equity to borrow against? Sometimes we see large amount of equity in a primary residence that can be borrowed against, even in 2nd position if it has a great rate that you don't want to lose.  


 I do but the current intrest rate i have it as is 3 percent. would a bridge loan or seller financing work to meet the down payment?

Quote from @Brandon Croucier:

You have 600,000 problems.

Bridge lenders (HML) Want low LTV (65% Max Typically). They also want a priority lien on the property.

It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.

How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

What is the purchase price?

What kind of commercial building is it?

 Im bringing 400k myself 

the purchase price is 10 million 

its an assisted living facility 

I am planning on purchasing a profitable business with its real estate included in florida and the dscr is 1.85. the problem is im just short of 600k for the down payment. that being said, can anyone provide me any reputable loan companies that will offer bridge loans and what their requirements are. thank you in advance!

what the title says. 

Post: Seeking Investor Partner to Scale Proven Rental Property Business

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to this forum because I’m looking for the right financial partner to join me in scaling a proven and successful business in the real estate rental industry.

For the past 7 years, I’ve been actively involved in the home rental market. My journey began with smaller properties, and over time, I’ve successfully grown my portfolio to include an apartment complex and several multi-family homes. These properties are fully operational, generating steady cash flow, and managed efficiently to maximize returns while maintaining tenant satisfaction.

Now, I’m ready to take the next step: scaling the business to acquire larger complexes, expand into new markets, and diversify the portfolio further.

Post: FHA Loan on Auctioned homes possible?

I was reading online and saw that FHA Loans accept auctioned homes but that got me thinking.

How can I get an FHA Loan for an auctioned home when FHA Loan requires an inspector to come check out the building and auctioned homes generally don't allow for people to inspect the house until after purchase?

would an alternative route be getting a limited FHA 203(k) Loan to purchase an auctioned home or does FHA 203(k) require an inspector first as well?

hypothetically speaking, If I saw a distressed property and I contacted the owner and he is willing to sell me the house for X amount. What is my next step (what contracts etc do I need) without involving realtors so I don't have to pay extra fees to this and that person? Also, I've heard people do seller financing, "subject to" financing what does it mean? What is the best type of financing in that situation?

Quote from @Jason Wray:

One thing to keep in mind is "less is more" when it comes to telling anyone including the Loan officer what you plan to do in terms of living arrangements. Reason why I mention this is FHA has a guide line that requires the primary owner to live in the "Main" house or occupy the larger GLA. What you do after you buy the house and which room or area you occupy is your decision at that time.

If you mention to the Bank/lender that you plan on living in the basement for example or an ADU they can deny the loan. The best way to do it is if you can manage to live in the home for (6) months you can refinance it into an investment property if the LTV is at least 85%. That can happen if you buy a home that needs a little TLC or renovations and after the upgrade the new ARV might put you at that 85% LTV or lower, possibly even be able to take cash out.

As a first time home owner you can use FHA 3.5% down or Fannie Mae 3% down (single family). I would consider looking for a 2-4 unit so you can at least occupy (1) unit and collect rent on the other unit(s) and at the 6 month mark evaluate your LTV and situation. FHA 3.5% for 2-4 Unit and Fannie Mae 5% down.


 Hello Jason thank you for your response! If I were to tell no loan officer about renting every room out and living there part time do you think there would be any way they can find out and screw me over? because my name is going to be on the primary residence the whole time so I dont really see how they will find out unless theres other ways.

I've been living with my parents and I am planning on getting an FHA Loan to purchase my first home. I want to house hack and rent all of the rooms out (since with an FHA Loan I have to be a primary resident I cannot rent the whole house out). But I don't want to be living with strangers, I was thinking if I make my own room(something small like in the garage). and only sleep/be at the house half of the time will I still be considered a primary resident and will that be okay with FHA guidelines as long as I don't tell them?

Not very likely. 

I would recommend building up your cash up first as most hard money lenders will only allow 70-75% LTV for a first timer. Then I would partner up with a flipper, maybe even wholesale some deals to get started.

The risk is very high when you are brand spanking new and you will definitely need to go through some transactions to get an idea of what you are doing. 


 Thank you for your response, Erik.

I have researched the business and I have contacts and connections like family friends who are contractors/ have done some sort of real estate fix and flip. If I were to acquire an LLC would it look better on my resume?


 Your contractor may help if they have done flips themselves and are okay with being a PG on the loan and member in the entity. But you still need more cash if you are looking to get into flips, especially here in CA. 

Got it thank you so much!, last question how much cash do you think I'll need in order for my resume to look a little better?
