Post: What are some Business Loan Prerequisites

A few things here:

When you say a business loan do you mean: 1) a business line of credit 2) a DSCR loan that closes in an LLC 3) a full non-recourse loan with your business as the guarantor?

Each one is going to have different requirements based on your goals. Most people mean they are looking for a loan they can put in their LLC similar to a DSCR loan and there is very little that is needed for that loan type and we do them all the time. It really depends on what you are trying to do.


Hope this helps!

Post: A shortage in my escrow account. What should I do?

This is an unfortunate situation that happens pretty frequently.  You have a few options: 1) do as you are and let the tenants pay the difference so you may not make much if any profit, but they will pay the shortfall.  2) You can typically contest the assessed value of the home with the county.  ESPECIALLY in this market with home prices falling a bit in some markets, and affordability going down, you probably have a decent case against the county to get the assessed value reduced a bit so you don't have the shortage.  3) You can pay the difference in full up front like you mentioned

I would at least give the county a call to see what the process for contesting looks like

Quote from @Roshan Srinivasan:

Hey Clayton, thanks for the response! Are you familiar with any small funds that are doing BRRRRs or buy/flip in the Bay? (Should have mentioned in my original question that I'm more curious about funds and syndicates.) Thanks!


Typically, funds and syndications are going to be taking down larger projects like 50+ unit apartments or something. I have not personally seen or heard of funds that are doing individual BRRRR deals.

I would love to connect about this.  Depending on your appetite and means, we may have a deal for you that needs a 2-3 year bridge.  It's a pretty heft loan amount though.

We have access to DSCR lenders that can do rural properties. I am working on 3 rural cash outs right now actually. I know how frustrating it can be!

Hey Roshan, a lot of our clients are doing BRRRRs in the Bay Area.  Being part of the David Greene team means we've seen a ton of them and would love to help you get started!  Generally, a lot of them have used either hard money or house hacking to get into the properties and then they do live in flips or true BRRRRs depending on their financial situation.

@Joel B. Thank you.. I always feel like one needs to have more than 1 or 2 reliable lenders. Most of the time, one lender can not provide ALL the good stuff.

So yeah, this is helpful, was hunting for good lenders and brokers

Is this the right website? I want to make sure I'm not in the wrong place

That is correct, you can also find a lot of our loan officers on here and reach out to us directly as well!

Few questions: 

1) Who has been making the loan payments?

2) Who was your original lender? Because they should have advised you to be on title and not on the loan originally.

3) Definitely listen to @Bill Exeter in regards to consulting a tax and legal professional.  Frankly, you may just be best off leaving it alone in his name and put the house into a trust that names you the sole beneficiary. 


 >Frankly, you may just be best off leaving it alone in his name and put the house into a trust that names you the sole beneficiary.

This is also my belief but I want her to consult her own tax expert.  Trusting her dad is big.  At his death, the property would get the step up basis, so no capital gains consequence.  The property tax impact will occur then (because her dad does not live at the property at his primary home being transferred to primary home of a child), but that is better then than having the property tax increase now.  Not a tax expert, but only downside I see is the heavy trust involved but if you cannot trust your dad, who can you trust?

I am glad OP is consulting a tax professional for guidance.  They will find optimal path.


 Agree 100% this is probably the best advice.  Again, these are just my personal thoughts and not in anyway legal or tax advice.  I would always recommend consulting professionals in those areas.

 I have paid my dad for the mortgage, insurance and property taxes in monthly payments, essentially like rent. I know that doesn't help my case at all.


 You pay it to your dad or you pay it to the bank directly?  It should help your case tremendously honestly.   At least from a lending perspective if we see two people on a loan, but one of them has made all the payments for past 12 months, we can treat it as if the debt does not exist for the person who does not pay and attribute it entirely to the person who does pay.
