Hi! 

I signed an exclusive agreement with an Agent that I want to terminate. The agent is giving me runaround and not agreeing to terminate the agreement. What options do I have? The agreement was for 1 property. But the agent included 2 MLS listings in the contract.
it’s for 2 huge markets in NC - I didn’t win the property I signed with the agent for. But the agreement runs through july 2024. I want out asap. 

Yes. I read the agreement. The relationship has gone south. 

Thanks,

Chi

Hi BP- 


buying my 3rd multi-unit property.


I’m putting a contract on a 4plex

I’d like to understand which financing option is better:

Option 1 - Residential loan- 7.99%, 30 yrs, 25% down. 3 points at closing plus 2% closing cost. monthly Mortgage is ~ 1800 Under my name.


Option 2- Commercial loan. 7.75%, 20yrs, 20% down. 5 year balloon payment. 1% for closing. No points.
monhtly mortgage is ~ 2100. Under LLC

Option 2 is 13K less for closing. But also lower cash flow every month.


Any other suggestions on how to analyze the deal. I’d like to use the 13k to buy another property. But don’t like the 5/20 or the lower cash flow.

Thanks!!


Isnt there a new rule about FHA allowing only 5% down on a Multifamily loan now? ive seen many articles pointing out this option. I think it goes in affect this month

It’s in Nov 2023

Chi,

You should look at a Portfolio program they offer 15% down even for 4 units and there is only 1 point on portfolio with No prepays.  Rates are around 7.75% with good credit.

A portfolio is a banks true private capital so they service the loan and offer better otpions.

This is amazing- I didn’t know about this. I need something that lets me buy 1-2 multi family units a year. 
any recommendations on program names/lenders that do this?  
Thanks!!

Quote from @Ryan Muska:

You are paying 5 points for option 1?!?! This seems outrageous for a residential loan, but then again we don't have all the info, so I can't say for certain. 

I would stay away from balloon payments as much as possible

 Hi Ryan - not 5. But 3 points.

Quote from @Carrie Matuga:

@Chi Sastry I think there's a few questions you have to ask yourself:

1. How long are you planning on holding onto this 4-plex? Each point will cost you 1% of the loan, so you can do a break even analysis on the cost of 5%. It's probably several years. 

2. Is it worthwhile to connect with other lenders to see if you can do a DSCR loan with a 30 year amortization vs. 20 years? Even if you had to pay points, there's a small savings in the 0.25% lower loan interest rate and the commercial loan wouldn't appear on your credit.

Commercial loans and DSCR loans do not have to be amortized on a 20 year basis. At these interest rates, that could make things tough to cashflow. Reach out if you'd like to talk more. DM Me!


 Thanks Carrie! Just DM’d you. I plan to hold for 5 years atleast. Under my option 1 - I break even faster bc it’s better cash flow. 
agree with your #2.
