J___,

He replied to my e-mail but it isn't looking good
As you can see from my response, I am not going to accept his terms.
I'd have to be crazy first.

Mr. ----,,

A bank is a bank and a bank is a bank... ;) This man is going to be out looking to charge high rates and make alot of money in a very safe manner. If he's serious about this he would not want to scare business away with an application fee because he knows he will make the real money on the actual deal.

Again, I'd like to know what kind of rate he's got in mind over there and I'm not comfortable at all with an "application fee". A couple points at closing would make alot more sense. If he will only go up to 50% I can't pay over 14%... if he goes to 60% I can pay 18%...... both would be figured on the 360 day clock.


Another question I have for this man is: How much cash has he got to work with?


I'll do business with him so long as he shows me he is serious and comes up with some reasonable terms




Thanks,
The Fred

Dear Fred,

Thanks for the reply. The up front fee is one charged by many, many banks. If you went to a bank for a mortgage and had the credit that they would accept, you would be asked to drop $500 without a blink of the eye. It is an application fee. Call around, you'll see what I'm talking about. But understand this, all you need to qualify with this gentleman is 50% equity in a property....NO CREDIT. Of course, you want to prove that you can pay the mortgage. That is what the rent rolls would go towards. But if you don't have them, then you would want to provide some other proof.

Let me know what you want to do.

I'm trying to find out if your talking about paying points.. or what?
The reason I ask is because there is no good in doing business with someone who wants a fee for "applying"..

A 50% LTV is going to be a little thin, more hunting and searching for property... alot more money spent on my end and so your guy would have to show proof of being awfully solid before I'd work for him

An appraisal and property inspection are important to me as well.. I like to see recent comps.
That is how I determine value because it makes sense.

How would I show rent rolls on a vacant rehab potential property?

Your man does realise that he won't be able to get any normal private money rates if he's only going 50%.. yes?
Meaning none of that 22% business?

Sorry for grilling you. I really am anxious to get into rehab but I'm not desperate enough to destroy myself over here either..

Thanks,
The Fred

I am a mortgage specialist. I do know a gentleman who will lend only on the equity of the property. He will lend you 50% of the property value. He doesn't even want to pull your credit. It doesn't matter. He must be able to put a lien on 50% of the property. He must be in first place should there be other liens on the property. You must pay an up front fee. You must be able to produce an appraisal (doesn't have to be a new appraisal). In the case of commercial property, you must provide rent rolls. In most cases, the people who use this option use it on income producing property where the income will make the mortgage payments and produce revenue for the mortgage holder.

Mr. All Cash,

You make good sense there.
The deal of a century comes along every few minutes :D

"Sorry, some other project paid more so we blew you off and fixed it when we were good and ready"

Well hell if the other job paid so much more, why doesn't he give you a big fine discount? And how dare he blow you off in the first place? What kind of businessman is that?

One of these times that guy or someone like him is going to end up riding under my.. I mean someones... Cadillac :shock: :D

I've never dealt with mold,
I've heard horror stories about new laws and insurance nightmares..

*shrug*

Scrubbing with some bleach and/or replacing a few things takes care of it, of course, but if the law makes you use some stupid new age biohazard looking team of idiots to fix it you're going to really spend.

I don't think that happens often.. though 8)

This seems like a simple issue to me.

If you can pay all cash,
And paying all cash doesn't tie all of your capital up preventing you from being involved in other profitable deals,

By all means pay cash. :D

It all depends on what you're looking to accomplish.
Some guys want to be in and out of a property. (Cash is king)
Some guys want to be in many properties for the long term. (Leverage is useful)

The ones I worry about are these mental cases everyone is calling "experts" who are out buying at hyperinflated prices financing to the max and ending up with a 200 story building made of match sticks :shock:

A higher cash on cash makes leverage look more attractive than it really is.. some times. Like that lady in school who stuffs her shirt. See.

I'm not able to get into rehabs right now so I am wanting to go out and look for suitable for rehab investor property.. I will go out, find the property, put an assignable on it and turn it over to rehab guys.

The thing is - before I do that I want to have a list of investors and maybe a profile of sorts on each one. What they're usually out looking for, their financial situation.. etc

It doesn't seem like a good idea to do all of that work and end up not being able to make a deal when I find something :D

I live in a small town full of.. well... less than knowledgable people,
So needless to say it doesn't do much good asking around

:roll:
