Quote from @Heath D Wallace:

I contacted Rocket Mortgage they can give me a $50,000 loan with a 6-7% interest rate.  As long as the appraisal comes back at $85,000.  This isn't a rehab draw loan.

Rocket mortgage doesnt do commercial renovation loans. Chris is correct. Expect 4-5% points for low loan amount. Most hard money lenders will have a min loan amount of 100K. If you have no experience it could be anywhere between 10% - 20% down. Interest rates will most likely start at 10% for something like this. Good luck!

Quote from @Jennifer Fernéz:

Hi all! I’m looking for a lender to help me start a portfolio. I have about $100K in cash. 709 median credit score. I don’t qualify for conventional loans because my debt to income is to high with a pending new construction primary residence loan. Can anyone help? I don’t have a particular property yet, however, I do have a neighborhood in mind so when something comes up I have to be ready to pounce. The homes are usually in the $200K-$250K range with rent $1900-$2200/mo. I can explore other neighborhoods that would produce more rent with a lower mortgage, but I prefer this specific neighborhood because of the proximity to the hospital (lots of traveling nurses and it’s a high demand area) and the school district is the best one in the county, with the highest appreciation rate in the county. Thanks in advance!! Jennifer

Jennifer! Congrats on the new build project! What you’re looking for is a DSCR loan. This will allow you to qualify for any purchase based off the income projected from the property. There is no DTI associated with this program. Theoretically, you can qualify for any purchase price so long as the expected rent is 1:1 or better with the anticipated PITI. I recommend connecting with an experienced investment focused broker to compare terms across a wide variety of lenders. Best of luck!

this is the starting point for commercial deals.

I'm considering making an offer on a 36-unit multi-family property. I have a potential private lender, but I need to determine if this is a viable investment opportunity and explore the best financing options


You’re a first time investor going for 36 units… alone? No sponsor? No team?

Quote from @Kenneth S.:

Greetings,

I am looking for a seasoned mortgage broker in Middle TN that can find me the best rates on refi's and new investment property loans. I currently own 6 investment properties and the two most recent are at 7%. I know that now might not be the best time to refinance but I am looking to establish contact with someone that can keep their finger on the pulse and let me know when the time is right for refi or BRRRR.

Thanks in advance!


 Hi Kenneth, I work a ton with investors in the TN area. more than happy to connect and discuss what you're looking for. Using and experienced broker is a great way to avoid having to shop multiple lenders. Good luck!

Quote from @Van Lam:

Hi I am investor in Gainesville, I currently hold a multifamily 6+ units.  the property’s rehabilitation is scheduled for completion in 2025 and the rent will subsequently increase, can I proceed with a cash-out refinance based on the current rent roll? How will the existing income from the property influence the amount I can borrow?


 Van! I am in Gainesville myself. There are a few ways to skin this cat. Happy to connect and talk about options.

Post: How to refi out of hard money loan/multi unit

Quote from @Colton Bridges:

I recently bought a duplex that I plan to convert to a fourplex. I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.

I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit. I believe after the holidays the other unit will go quickly.

What is the rule to refi into conventional loan? If I secure renters and show a lease agreement and deposit can I get into lower interest rate mortgage?

I wasn't planning on going this big for my first investment but the deal, location and potential to value add was too good to not go for it.

Thank you!


Colton, You will most likely want to consider a DSCR loan here. You wont have any seasoning requirements if you are looking to just do a rate and term refinance to pay off hard money. Simply use the signed leases to qualify the anticipated PITI. Hope that helps, good luck!

Quote from @Arun Maheshwari:

Hi,

We are looking to buying investment property ,Townhouse/Condo in Connecticut(Hartford). We looker at few houses/Condo under $200k-$250k and saw few online in that range. Is Conneticut a good market in terms ease of rental and appreciation?. We basically want property to generate some cash flow and long term appreciation. Are there any others in CT which can fulfill these requirements?

Thanks

Arun, I am local to CT so happy to help answer any specific questions. What type of strategy do you intend to stabilize with? That will depend on the numbers. CT is one of the oldest markets but lots of forced value in good off market deals. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Quote from @Maegan Quaife:

I am looking for recommendations of lenders who offer a HELOC on a cash flowing rental property in Burien, WA. I was surprised to find that most major banks do not offer this.


Thank you in advance for your feedback.


Maegan, most lenders are in the same boat here. You wont find competitive HELOC loans for investment properties that A. Are DSCR underwrites, and B. Less expensive that it would be to get an entirely new first. Calculate the blended rate on a HELOAN to see if you can save some spare change with that approach. But big picture, 90% of the time I've seen it makes more sense to refi the 1st. Hope that helps. good luck!
