Post: How get loan for lower priced properties?

Quote from @Ryan Judkins:

I have two homes in Missouri that I made offers on for $63k and $77k (paying 25% down on each).  Then our loan officer said the underwriters rejected them.  She explained they are lower priced homes so they have a hard time selling them in secondary markets.  Now I'm scrambling to try to save these deals.

Any suggestions?


 I went through Community America Credit Unión in KC, Mo. 

The advanced tax strategy book is a great book to read/listen to that references this exact same thing. Find a cap that specializes in real estate. Look at both the solo401k and SDIRAs. The book talks about the limitations on investing with your retirement and the limitations that come with it.  



Quote from @Johnny Horner:

Can a person use a self directed solo 401k to purchase a property cash and after you close get a loan and pay back the self directed solo 401k without any penalties?  The thinking here is cash and quick closing makes offer more attractive.  Thanks for any feedback.

I believe the BRRRR reference of not being able to do more is because many members of the BP forums have stated they are typically limited to a 10 property limit. This typically moves you to use portfolio loans as opposed to individual residential loans. If that makes sense.

@Andrew Postell has a great article on refinancing a 1-4 unit multi family complex that hits on this topic. 

@Wes Rice What terms does your lender request after the HELOC? Do they require you to stay in the house for a certain period of time this furthering your progress after The HELOC is pulled, or can you move out instantly after the HELOC is pulled?

So you are paying almost half of your cash out in closing costs? That doesn’t make sense to me.

What type of LLC do you have? The lenders I have spoke with said, ifit is only you on the LLC and you transfer it to thebLLC they do have that right to call the loan due by using the Due on Sale clause, but you could transfer the property back to yourself out of the LLC. If that makes sense. More work if they call it due, but gives you what you want. If you have a multi-member LLC with anyone else except your spouse it wouldn't work to my understanding.

I am currently re-zoning from Industrial to residential. As of now I am 4 months into the process due to COVID and am awaiting the final approval this month. Like the others said, a couple of months is pretty normal. 

@Vina Real Did you receive the property when he defaulted on the loan? Was that written into the contract?

Do the research while they sort it out and find comps to correct the appraisal report. I would start working another route to change your appraisal through proof.
