I've worked with them in the past, they we okay.

What kind of terms are they offering? Typically they are pretty high?

Theres no lien's on the property currently?

This should be doable with a private investor, with such a small loan amount expect to pay a high interest & exit fee just to make it worth doing.

It really depends on your goals & investment strategy.

If your goal is to own properties free & clear faster, a 15 year fixed would do better for you.

But if your goal is cashflow & to accumulate more properties, have better ROI (compound interest / acquiring more properties) then a 30 year fixed is better for you.

Yes you get a slightly lower rate on a 15 year rather than a 30, but if you decide you want to make extra payments (on a 30 year) to shorten your term, you can.

Hey Charles, Yes!

A DSCR loan Rate & Term Refinance would be the best product for you.

A DSCR loan will not take into account any of your personal income & it wont even report on your personal credit report.

You can close in a trust or LLC, as long as the property has appreciated enough to cover the lower LTV you shouldn't need any cash to cover the remaining principal balance.

I am happy to connect & give you some more guidance should you need any!

Hey Raul, based on the numbers this seems like a great deal, it has plenty of margin.

Are you looking for debt for financing or are you looking for a equity partner?

It really depends on the lender, some are going to be fine lending the money with debt as the source of down payment, and some will not let that fly.

Can I ask what kind of mortgage product you are attempting to use?

The definition of rural varies lender to lender, if there are sufficient supporting sales comps then most investors should be fine lending.

What is the name of the city/town in which you are looking to acquire financing in?
