Quote from @James Dugan:

Hey BP folks,

I am looking for a hard money lender that can work with somebody with an H-1B and can do 15% deposit and 100% funding of rehab? I own a number of properties, and have experience working with hard money.

Please DM me if this is something that anybody can help with or refer?

Thanks,


James


 As long as you are local to the project we would entertain. Not a broker but lend out of our balance sheet.

Quote from @Shalante Davis:

Hi, 

I am under contract with a DSCR loan for a 2 bed 1.1 bath town house condo for $80k. I just received my conditional approval and submitted my two conditions. The problem is my primary residence is in a special needs trust for my son that I have resided in for the past 10 years. I am only financially responsible for the utilities and have never purchased a property in my personal name (which was discussed with the lender prior), I have only bought a few fix and flips in my business name. Now, I pray that the lender will grant me an exception due to the primary residency issue.

Here is my issue, I was sick for the past 2.5 years and have not produced as a realtor at the rate years prior which is why DSCR Loan was ideal. I'm a 1099 employee and because I was sick, I itemized everything. I realized that there are very few lenders willing to lend on a property under $100K.

I can use some assistance strategizing a plan B on how to secure financing for this deal. 

Property Details:

Purchase Prices: $80k

Down Payment: 20%

Section 8 Rental Rate for Property Zip Code: $1976


 Can you explain exactly what the condition says that is causing you to make this post?

Quote from @Sushil Gupta:

I currently own a few investment properties and am looking to finance additional ones. Many banks, like BOFA and Citi, have limits on the number of financed properties they support. I’d love to hear from other investors—how have you secured financing for new properties after reaching these limits? And are those financing options gonna be more expensive than conventional mortgage from a bank? 

 @Sushil Gupta    Fannie/Freddie will only allow you to have 10 financed residential properties IF looking to finance  a new investment property. This is for ALL lenders not just big banks.  https://selling-guide.fanniemae.com/sel/b2-2-03/multiple-fin...  It is important to note there is NO limit to financed properties if the loan is for a primary residence.  

Loan products that are NOT going to be sold to Fannie/Freddie can make up their own rules. Some products might limit you to 20 properties financed while some might not have ANY limit. It is also important to understand that a lender will likely have access to more then just one product so the LO's job is to understand your situation and know which product would fit your particular situation. 

Post: The worst company I have experience in submitting draws from held back Rehab money

Quote from @Joven Aromin:

We have two properties under Kiavi as the lienholder/lender. The worst company to deal with submitting draws for renovation. They are so focused on their stupid form and its format, they rejected my submissions multiple times, the contractors even submitted one. They still rejected it. They even sent a person to the renovation site and still rejects the draw submission. I would never consider Kiavi as the lender. Never again.


 This is why huge nationally scoped/wall st back or securitized hard money lenders will have a hard time dominating the this very segmented market. Real estate is still a people business. They have to reach tremendous scale to be profitable/satisfy their investors, so you have to automate so much of the process to reach that scale, in then becomes a "process" instead of a collaboration.  They of course lend a huge multiple to what we do, but I would wager we do a much higher % of our loans for repeat borrowers. 

Post: Should I go 3/2 or 4/2 rental in North San Antonio

Quote from @Jack Walker:

I’m considering purchasing a rental property in Northern San Antonio.  

The options are:  

- Three bed, two bath  

- Four bed, two bath  

The property is near a nice high school.  

- Three bed, two bath rents: $2000/month  

- Four bed, two bath rents: $2400/month  (according to rentometer)

I’m wondering if renting out a four bed, two bath is more challenging than a three bed, two bath in San Antonio.  

Anyone with experience in this area, please recommend.  

The price difference is small, so I’m debating whether the extra square footage and rent justify the additional effort or if sticking with a three bed, two bath is simpler. Both essentially meet the 1% rule


 which on is in the better neighborhood with better schools etc?

Quote from @Michael Nelson:

Hi everyone, heres my BRRRR situation

purchase price 520,000

rehab 25,000

Appraised at 600,000

Rents are now at 1950, 1850 and 1600 totaling 5400

My question is can i get a DSCR to take out all 545,000 as the rent roll to to a mortgage for that amount would ratio out to around 1.4 but....obviously appraisal is not high enough for 80/20

Any info on this or suggestions would be great. Trying to get as much as possible back out

 @Michael Nelson    Do you have current financing on the property or did you purchase/rehab with cash?

I have a HELOC on my primary residence but was told by the bank I have it with that they can't give me a HELOC on my Quadplex because it's a multi family rental (they could pass a single family rental off as a a vacation home. Are there any reputable lenders that offer a HELOC on multi family rentals?

Post: CPA Reducing Schedule C Depreciation amount from 19K to 1,622?

Impossible to give you an accurate answer without reviewing your tax return, so this reply is based on assumptions picked from your description.

If your only taxable income comes from this Schedule C, I do not know how you would qualify for any loan anyway, even with a ~$20k profit after adding back depreciation. If you also have W2 income, then Section 179 income limitation on Schedule C should not matter.

Also, whether you take $1k of depreciation or $19k of depreciation, after adding it back you have the exact same income for underwriting purposes, so I'm not sure why you're concerned about a reduced amount of depreciation

I don't have a W2-I do receive alimony, and have three rental properties and this business.  

My understanding from experience and learned on this forum is the opposite. 

For underwriting purposes, adding 19,000 back to income for the purpose of determining DTI is very different than $1,000. its literally $19,000. In fact, some lenders add back repairs that are "one time" repairs. You can also add back mileage deductions. Every bit helps when your income is "interesting" and entrepeneural.


You start with $30k income (or whatever your number is) before depreciation.

A. You take $2k of depreciation. Now your income for tax purposes is $28k. But when you add back $2k depreciation for underwriting, you have $30k.

B. You take $20k of depreciation. Now your income for tax purposes is $10k. When you add back $20k depreciation for underwriting, you have the same $30k.

See - how much depreciation you take does NOT change the number used for underwriting.

And back to my skepticism - check with your lenders if you can qualify for any loan based on your income. You might be too optimistic, I'm afraid. 


 Definitely may be too optimistic!  But that statement above doesn't make sense. Schedule C shows net profit zero. But my lenders have worked magic before, with same income. My depreciation for all my rentals is about 55K, and for schedule C which is what I'm concerned about--should be 18K plus another $13 K for home office deduction that they changed from $13K to standard amount.  There was another account that provided an amazing breakdown and really made me focus on where I place deductions.     

In a nutshell, I just meed to ask for a phone call to reiterate what I'm trying to accomplish.  I discussed it in the initial "worksheet" I fill out which basically provides all the mnumbers and they type in for me.  Liek turbo tax--except 9 times as much and less interaction and ability to have questions and scenarios flagged like Turbo tax did for me. 

Add-Backs (Non-Cash Expenses)
  1. Depreciation (Line 13)
  2. Depletion (Line 12)
  3. Amortization (Reported elsewhere, often in Part V "Other Expenses")
  4. Business Use of Home Deduction (Line 30)
  5. One-Time Expenses (if documented as non-recurring)

 The "magic" you are mentioning IS adding back the depreciation upping your income. what @Michael Plaks is saying is 100% correct in that your INCOME to be used for the debt to income would be exactly the same in this case because if not paper loss is shown (the deprecation) then there is no loss to add back, so you get credit for the income. No different. Now, I am a lender so I know how it effects your debt to income but not a CPA so not idea which approach is correct from a tax perspective but it will not have any change on your DTI.

Quote from @Robert Jones:

I jus went the rounds with a loan company that maybe I should not of.  They asked me for my tax return but never looked at the s corp where all my income is.  Told me that I could not get a loan because I lost money.  Well I did lose money on paper with the llc but if they would of looked further they would of seen income of over 200k that I paid taxes on.  This was just red flag number 3.  I have great credit.  I have income from investments, income form 2 business but not much in w2 income.  So, my simple question is for a recommendation for a company that works with investors and business owners and knows to look at all the tax returns not just one of them. Thanks!

 @Robert Jones   I am assuming this is a for a primary residence correct?  If so, the first step as you have found out is finding a LO who understand tax returns and how to calculate self employment income. it is simply not hard and it continues to amaze me how so many in my profession have no idea how to do it. Kind of mind blowing considering there worksheets/calculators that will do it for you!  It is right here: https://content.enactmi.com/documents/calculators/2025%20%28...

AS mentioned above you will need to send your 1120-s and your K-1 (all k-1's if you happen to have more then 1) as wells as your personal returns. You will see on the form I linked the 1120-2 portion:

As you can see you are able to ADD back into your K-1 income non recurring losses, Depreciation, depletion and Amortization.  If your business bought a vehicle and you deprecated all at once  that is going to be a significant decrease in taxable income , but as seen above you can add it back for your income for the loan.

In addition, if you have any debt on your personal credit report that you can show that the business has  paid the debt for 12 consecutive months you can exclude that debt payment from the debt to income ratio. Other wise, it is being counted against you twice, once on the personal level and on the business level because you profits have been reduced by those payments. 

Now even doing all the above might not be enough income and if that is the case that is when bank statement loans can work. But, I always try to get my borrowers to qualify for conventional because the terms are better then on a bank statement loan.

Quote from @Samuel Coronado:

I keep running into a road block. I am on my first BRRRR and the issue is lenders keep only wanting to lend on 80% of the purchase price and not the actual appraised value, which would keep my money tied up on the rehab portion as well as 20% of the purchase price. Is there a way to get the 80% of the appraised value out? Is BRRRR dead with institutional lenders? Or am I missing something?


My personal credit score is a 780 and I have multiple other properties but still not busting the DTI metric.

 @Samuel Coronado  

We have a 2 step program that we fund out of balance sheet that allows you to pull out cash before 12 months, and then refi into a conventional loan. You get the best of both worlds in that way: No seasoning to pull cash out AND the conventional rate/costs and no pre-payment penalty which are all better then DSCR loans.
