Quote from @Albert Howard:

I recently found a lot of land that I have under contract and I have a contractor on standby. My question is, once I secure a commercial loan to build or get monies from Hard money, after its is built and rented, has anyone had luck or know that there are banks out there that will do a 30 year note with fixed rate on a Duplex that is an investment property?

The current bank I am talking to says that the commercial loan to build will be a 20 yr note and I just want to be sure that there are banks that will loan me money afterwards on a 30 yr note so I can refi out cash and BRRR this. Thanks for you help.

it is called a 30 yr dscr loan. most banks, credit unions, and hml’s offer them. 

so in short, yes, after your construction is complete you can refi into a dscr for an investment property 

Agreed, as direct lender, we lend to first time investors. Cash is king, and rates are less favorable than those with experience. 

Ultimately, loyalty and repeat borrowers have more negotiating room as time goes on.

I am a newbie and I paid off 80% of my  rental mortgage. I have already applied for cash out refi planning to use for 25% downpayment  and I need to finalize my decision next week. Is it wise to take cash out refi and invest in my second multiplex given the market conditions?  OR wait till market cools off or crashes and then take out cash out refi.. please advise

I feel like this is all in your personal risk tolerance. 

No investment is a sure thing. 

Without knowing anything else about your project, I’d say stick to the fundamentals and be conservative with your estimates. scale back profit a point or two, increase reserves a few points and take it from there. 

Are rents stable in your area?

Quote from @Nicoló Tossici:

Hi, I bought my first rental property with an LLC. We are three partners. What should I do to finance my second property? I tried to speak with some small banks about a cash-out refinance on the first property (we own 100% equity). They told me that we are not approved because we do not have enough personal income.

Moreover, I tried to speak with two private lenders for a loan (not a cash-out this time) and they told me they do not give loans to LLCs. What should I do? Do you guys have advice?

Hi Nicolo,
As a direct lender we work with only business entities such as your LLC. 

I’ll shoot you a DM to answer any questions you may have.

Hi,

I have an opportunity to do a private loan deal through a family member with a great track record in real estate development. Looking over the documents, it's clear to me that I could benefit from a lawyer to help review the terms. I also need someone to act as the trustee (also a lawyer?) and I'm not sure how to go about finding that person or how to compensate them. Any advice?

Perhaps your answer should come from the person you’re doing business with? That or simply seek out a Real Estate lawyer in your area and retain them. 

Most of the RE lawyers I have dealt with bill between $200 and $400 an hour depending on the extent of the service.

@Mitesh Kapadia

I ended up not using them because of what the other poster mentioned, they wanted 2% upfront then promised to send me the funds quickly. It sounded too good to be true, I send you x and you cut me a check for multiple times what I sent you?? Also, the people I spoke to on the phone weren't able to explain how the funding process would work. This is an example where speaking to and communicating with multiple lenders helped me recognize this was weird.

Agreed on your logic. if their Account Exec/Lending Officer cannot explain to you how the process works, then that is not a company I would do business with. 

The upfront fees is another thing that irks me when I hear about it. If you pay their fee up front, where is the urgency for them to perform?  As a direct lender myself there are so many horror stories I hear about on a weekly basis. It makes people be distrustful of the industry as a whole.

Exactly, You'll be stuck in the 7s for 5 years unless you buy out of it. Not a good fit for most of my clients at the moment.

I'd have to agree with Robin, in addition, I don't love DSCRs right now for the prepayment penalties.
