Josh at Nantahala Bank can also do this, and well. Appraisal is an issue as discussed above, with two houses on one property, finding a good appraisal is quite difficult.  As also mentioned above, subdividing is a vastly better route if possible, but proceed with great caution, since subdividing can be a gigantic pain in the rear end.

Good luck with it!


 Thanks for the info! I'll reach out to Josh. Yes - prefer to avoid subdividing if possible

Call the county or town zoning person.  See if the lot can be subdivided, so that each cabin sits on its own parcel.  If it can be subdivided, financing will become much easier....


 In many counties they allow multiple building especailly if they are small.   They might not even be considered dwelling units.   Did you pull a permit?  Is their a drain fried.  I would not subdivide unless you have to becuase there are cost involved with that.  You might be just fine but if you did not pull a permit then I would not talk to the county.  Just go with lender that is non conventional.  I am getting rates in the 7% to 7.5% now.  Which is just above owner occupied. 

Yes, we are fully permitted (building, septic, well, etc). I'd prefer not to subdivide bc the plan is to build another cabin in the coming years and then sell in 5-7 years.

@Tyler Divin and @Andrew Steffens

Thank you guys for your responses! Since I have been running for a couple months - AirDNA does have projections (or at least data) on my cabins. Some lenders have asked for them, some haven't.

Hello!

I am looking to refinance two of my STR's in Asheville, NC.

Background: I had 2 couples cabins (not actual cabins) built, finished in December, on several acres of land in Asheville, NC. I financed the deal by a 50/50 mix of construction loan and private loans. I am looking to refinance both loan types bc they are interest only. I have 3 months of performance (so DSCR isn't an option.... unless there are DSCR options with only 3 months of performance) and the cabins are doing really well (top 1% for one and top 10% for the other) - even with the huge downswing in the market. I have a couple of interested lenders but nothing in writing yet. Before I go further with discussions I wanted to see if anybody had any suggested loan types/lenders. Also, the cabins are 450 sq ft and I had an appraisal done for the construction loan within the last 12 months and if I can get 75% of LTV of that appraisal - that would be enough to pay off my lenders. Thanks!

It definitely sounds a little tricky. My first concern would be comparable sales available. Happy to see if we can make a DSCR loan work. We can usually use projections from air dna. Happy to connect!

 Sounds good! I'd be happy to connect - let me the best way to reach you

@Matthew Becker - good to know to just talk to commercial bankers. In my initial screening (not talking to a commercial banker) the bank rep tells me that 2 properties on one parcel is a problem. I will start just asking to speak to the commercial banker. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply @Matthew Becker!

Debt coverage is above 1.5. The property is under my LLC. I have reached out to a couple of local banks and credit unions and they seem to get continually tripped up on there being 2 properties on one piece of land. Also, I am an out of state investor and the properties are 450 sq ft which they don't like either. Good to know about the 7%. I appreciate your reply and help!
