Post: Take out Loan Options

I'm attempting to learn more about Take out Loan Options. I'm finding contradictory information when perform online research. Below are a few notes I've created. Looking for assistance filling in gaps. Thanks in advance and really appreciate the help.

-Charlie

Rate and Term
- No actual money changes hands in this case, outside of the fees associated with the loan. The size of the mortgage (or hard money) remains the same; you simply trade your current mortgage terms for newer terms with longer terms.
- Can refinance up to 75% of rehabbed appraised value
- If wait 6 months can include rehab as part of rate/term loan???


Cash Out
- The new mortgage is bigger than old loan (or hard money loan). Along with new loans terms, you’re also being advanced money – effectively taking equity out of home.
- Can refinance up to 75% of rehabbed appraised value
- Typically higher cost for “Cash-out” loan then rate/term
- ??Must wait 6 months to include rehab cost?
- Typically done after 6 months of ownership


Delayed Financing
- Source or original funds must be all your own cash.
- Can “take out” amount used to purchase the home (plus closing costs). Can’t pull additional equity out.
- Can refinance up to 75% of after rehabbed appraised value
- Renovation or improvement costs CANNOT be recouped with delayed financing. To recoup these costs with conventional financing, a borrower must wait at least 6 months after their purchase and meet all cash out refinance guidelines.
- The original purchase must be an arm’s length transaction (There may be no affiliation or relationship between the seller and the buyer of the property at time of purchase).
- The original purchase must be well documented (assets used to purchase the home must be verified), and proceeds from the refinance must be applied toward the original source of funds.
- The loan amount for the new mortgage cannot be more than what the cash the borrower used to purchase the property plus closing cost on the new mortgage.

@Matt M.thanks for your suggestion.

@Russell Brazil, let me make sure i understand you suggestion.  With an escalation clause you essentially agree to pay $x dollars above next best offer.  So if seller gets a cash offer of $300k you agree to pay $300 + x.  A few questions:
1) How do you know the next best offer isn't just the sellers brother making a ridiculous offer to drive up price?
2) I assume you still have some contingency if total value of cash offer plus escalation gets to expensive?

Thanks @Kevin Kroll .  In your sample scenario what if buyer walked away due to inspection contingency?  What is status of $20k earnest money then?

All,

Have a friend looking to purchase personal residence in Denver area and he keeps loosing to other all cash offers even when coming in over asking.  He is using a 30 year fixed.  Anyone have experience using a private lender so able to offer all cash on a private residence?  Thanks for help.

I'm interested in data about Average Days on market for residential properties.  I found site below but curious what others use for tracking Average Days on market.  In particular I'd like to see historic data so I can start tracking trends and cycles.

Below site seems good but interested what others use.  Thanks!

Hello BP, I’m really grateful to have fond such a wonderful resource. I’m primarily interested in buy/hold to generate passive income but also interested in fix/flip. I found BP from the podcast on iTunes and attempting to work through all 144 episodes!

I’m attending the BP meetup happening 11/2 (link below) and excited to meet other investors face-to-face. Highly motivated to stop working for my money and have my money start working for me!
