Hi - I’ve done several deals in Florida that are all ongoing rentals.

Hi, 
I am fairly sure one of my properties will not produce enough rent to cover the PITI.

As I’ll need to refinance in the next few weeks, any lending packages I can leverage? 

Thanks,

Post: Need Foreclosure Financing

Hi there,

My team has identified a SFH for auction. We are well versed in the specific market and have existing investment there.

We are a bit cash strapped for a home in great condition that is being auctioned. Starting bid is at $61,000 and the ARV is $277,000.

From the looks of it, the home is in great condition. And may only require $30k-$40k of rehab (this is being conservative). 

We have a 90/10 DSCR loan available to us but they won't front the costs for purchase of an auction home. 

We need a bridge type loan, that'll allow us to purchase the home. And we have a 90/10 DSCR loan lined up to pay off the bridge loan.

Any leads or any lenders have solution, we're all ears.

Quote from @Mike Smith:

I have people pitch this idea to me multiple times a year, so let me start with what not to do:

Landowner : I own a piece of property worth 100k, and I owe 95k on it.  Let's build a house on it and we can split the profits 50/50.

Me : So you put in 5k, I put in the 300k to build a home and 95k to payoff the lot, along with all my experience/knowledge and you feel 50/50 is a fair split?

Reality : Each party is paid a split on profits based on capital invested.  Each party is paid fairly for their work before profits are calculated.

Reality example :

Land cost : 100k

Build hard cost: 300k

Value at completion : 500k

Reasonable fee to build 300k home : 13% or 39k

Profit : 500k less 400k less 39k builder fee = 61k

Profit split (landowner paid in 5k): 5k/400k = 1.25% for landowner

395k/400k = 98.75% builder

Profit split (landowner paid 100k for lot, free and clear) = 100k/400k = 25%

Builder 300k/400k = 75%

For this reason, simply finding a piece of land without putting up significant capital or knowledge isn't worth much.


 Hi Mike,

thank you for taking the time to write out this thoughtful explanation. 

I had a few quick questions, hoping you can clarify. Why did you include the $95k note over to the builder expense column? Isn’t 100k note that the land owner owes enough for his stake in the deal regardless how much he put down to secure the purchase of the land?

Also confused with the below, at first it says the profit split is 1.25 and 98.75 and then the second line item says 75/25. How would you split the remaining $61k in your scenario? 75/25 split? 

Profit split (landowner paid in 5k): 5k/400k = 1.25% for landowner

395k/400k = 98.75% builder

Profit split (landowner paid 100k for lot, free and clear) = 100k/400k = 25%

Builder 300k/400k = 75%


thanks in advance,

Joel

I have been eyeing this corner intersection property for a new construction. The property across the street has been rezoned for a multi family. So I inquired about this corner abandoned house, and I just got word that it has been rezoned for a duplex. 

Now I’m in the process of buying this property for the land value. But what are some creative ways to partner with developers to finance the construction? We currently do not have funds for construction but willing to give up fair % equity of the sale of properties  

Thanks,

Joel
