The short cut to your assessment and unasked question is come with 35% minimum. See Rick's questions above, what will it be worth, demand?. Also what's the projected gross inc, net inc? All that matters in the end is cashflow!

My income docs aren't there, is there a private deal I should consider, or a Portfolio loan? Should I quit claim my property to an LLC? Any advice will help. Thank you

Your properties (I'm assuming residential) should have been in an LLC from the beginning. They should not be owner occupied and cash flowing. Although you have no income to show are you able to show cash (seasoned) enough to support 6-9 months loan payments on the refi and purchase? (Let's use a round number at 5-7% of loan amt).

Standard Criteria 650+ FICO

Now I see you were seeking 100%. If from a private lender with no prior relationship it's tough. If from private individuals maybe. 

Now let's dig deeper

First question... What are the taxes?

Second Question... What will the taxes be after the repair?

There is no accounting for taxes. This NJ the highest taxes in the country. What's the number?

@Shaun Draughn, Are these conditions something that you have experienced or are you a lender that's able to do this type of refi as this deal actually meets all of these requirements. 

I'm a broker these are where the guidelines are for underwriting.

Also Do you mean that each building must be worth over $115k?

Yes that's a good average value per building. Cashflow is also a determinant factor. email to share more details.

Portfolio funding looks like this....

Must use an entity
Properties: 5 or more
Value: $80,000 +
Loan Amount: From $200,000
LTV: Up to 75%
Each Property must be cash flowing for at least 4 months to be considered for underwriting. No credit given for missing cash flow.

Let's connect I'm in NYC.

Where there's a will there's a way. Great reminder as to the fact that there are no limits to our abilities. I felt like I could have done this some months back but I failed to capture the owners attention correctly.  You didn't box in your game plan and that's the real accomplishment.

Hello,

I am new to the real estate investment world and have a few questions about obtaining a conventional loan for financing.  I am looking at buying a medium multifamily (30-50 units) and am looking to spend under 1 million.  I've got enough for 20% down, but are banks able to count your monthly income from rent collection for paying your principle and interest?  

Also, I heard from my real estate agent that some sellers could be considered a "second" on a mortgage......I think that's what he called it.  Is this where the seller stays on the note so we can afford a more expensive property.  For example, if we are pre-approved for $900,000 and we find a property that is listed at 1.5 million, can the seller stay on the note and cover the remainder and charge us (the buyer) a monthly percentage?  Does this sound right?

Thanks so much for any advice you can offer.  I really appreciate it.

 Give yourself a better cushion and buy a smaller property if you intend to work with just under $200K. That 20% DP is a fallacy. Keep this as a rule 25-35% sometimes 40% plus the ability to show reserves of 6 mths payments. If you have a partner coming with the rest then fine. Will you have to use it all? Not always. Will you look 10 times more credible? Absolutely. 

For example, if we are pre-approved for $900,000 Pre approved?
