So he did a non allowable assumption to get around non owner occupied rules and it bit him in the ***.

Karma....

I've been getting a lot of calls lately about doing DSCR (cashflow based rental loans) as a second mortgage. That way you can preserve the low rate on your first.

We now have this program. Yea!

Basic terms:

Must have positive cashflow on the property

75% loan to value max

660 min credit score

$100k min loan amount

Hit me up for more info. 937-572-3713 or [email protected]

I agree with others that DSCR is the way to go on this one

Are you thinking about selling on land contract?

Make sure you know the rules!

The cfpb is coming down on land contracts.

From what I'm seeing, seems like the alert only affects when financing a primary resident and not investors.

What's the option?

Be friends with a reliable mortgage broker who has a program for any need.

If you would like me to be that broker, I can be reached at 937 572 3713 or www.scarpero.com

Quote from @Andrew Kiel:

as @Chris Seveney points out the recent opinion by the CFPB may make owner financing more difficult.


 Yeah, that answered my question. I'm not going to do this now. 

Way too risky for me to risk a CFPB audit. Not going to risk my mortgage license over this one.

Quote from @Adam Walter:

Hi @Carlos Scarpero,  I’m an investor in the Dayton and Cincinnati area and I’ve been both a private lender and private borrower.

As a borrower, I utilize my private lenders whom I pay between 8-12% to quickly purchase properties that are distressed or low in value. I’ll take  a year or so to refinance those into a long term loan and then use their funds for a different property. These loans are so much easier and cheaper than a hard money loan. 

As a private lender, I will sell a property with seller financing to someone who may not qualify for a loan or the property is distressed or low in value. 





 Thanks for the reply. I'm not too far from you. I'm sure I'll see you around some time,

Studying this whole note world and I'm curious....

From a borrower perspective, what advantage do they have going with a private lender vs going through a mortgage company/broker?

Is it more because of a borrower not qualifying traditionally, property not qualifying, or they can get a better deal going private?

I would love some examples if possible.


 As a note investor, we rarely if ever originate loans for owner occupied, we would rather buy on secondary market at a discount. 

The reason being you are correct, many times the borrower is not qualified for the loan, so my response to that is why do I want to give a loan to a borrower who does not have the ability to repay. There are occasions where the borrower does have ability but does not qualify for traditional - but that is rare.

Throw in the fact that I am not a bank so I can create loans out of thin air and only need a 10% reserve as another reason.

I can share good and bad stories - it really goes to underwriting the borrower and the price they pay (paying more) is irrelevant if they cannot make payments


 Interesting. Thanks for the reply
