Post: How do you shop around for a lender?

Are you currently under contract or needing funding. Some lenders in Private Institutional Lending that may not require credit checks or income docs. In some cases the interest rates and points for origination are more reasonable.

Post: Birmingham Small Multifamily. Section 8?

Hey I am an investor from Memphis with some experience in Birmingham but it’s been nearly 4 years (2019) since the last visit to Birmingham for a property tour. Back in 2019 Oporto Madrid was a tough part of town between East Lake and Roebuck. East lake was on the east of a Woodlawn developing part of town in terms of commerce.

I guess I’m looking to understand, how has that area (Woodlawn, East lake, Roebuck)  changed since 2018-2019. Jobs, business, legislation, investment? Oporto Madrid (the area I’m curious about) is north of Irondale.


Value-add opportunity  seems to be in a dead zone (mostly small businesses, convenience stores, fast food) . 
if you know the area, what you think? Thanks 

Post: Question about Wire Transfers Vs Bank Transfer?

Quote from @Fili Aguirre:

I talked to my banker today, and told me wire transfers are used when sending money to a different bank, when individuals are working different banks. And its called "bank transfer" when they're using the same bank. Isn't it the same?

  @Justin Sullivan is correct sending money to someone using the same banks as you is much easier right now. I went to the bank earlier this week, attempting to set up a bill pay on a seller financing property I recently closed. The banker told me that the account that I am sending the bill pay to has to be an account with my name on it. Confused as if I can do an external transfer, even wires are tough as well. 

@Fili Aguirre but yes wire transfers are same day transfer to different banks thru the ACH system and usually comes with a fee around 30 bucks (as far as I know, not a banker). Bank transfers are account to account within the same bank. IF you opened your account in one place and someone else opened there account in another place but same institution. Same bank but the numbers get off when for each individual bank tho they are the same. same same but different lol

 My mistake on the last post. Moving too fast. Would Private lending be an option?

Quote from @Stephanie Sicard:

Hi everyone ,

I purchased an investment property in Detroit in January . Since then , I rehabbed the property and it’s now rented out . I purchased it for 48k and it’s now worth about 90k. I’ve been searching for a lender that can do a cash out refi on this property , but I’m not having any luck. Most banks have a seasoning period of 6 months and up , and have a loan requirement of 100k. Has anyone had this experience ? If so , how did you move past this issue ? Thanks !


 I know a Private lender I could refer you to if interested

Quote from @Evan O'Brien:

What’re everyone’s thoughts on borrowers with higher credit scores having to pay additional fees due to the New Federal Mortgage Fee Plan that is being put into place?? So ridiculous

 Taking a contrarian viewpoint, The more the expensive the funding the least likely someone would seek to utilize debt. I feel as if it is a measure to stabilize the banks balance sheets. I don't understand the approach to be honest. Makes me think what's the point of working hard, seems if you just wait long enough the admin will benefit mediocrity. 

Make it reasonable for lower score people to have an on-ramp but not better than higher scores that have worked hard to get where they are.  im with you @Evan O'Brien Ridiculous

You and I are on the same page. And thank you.  The local banks all want 2 years of history, we only have 4 months.  We are still pursuing private lenders and partners.  Thank you for your suggestions. 


I know a private lender that I could refer you, if interested.
