Post: BRRRR I AM FROZEN! Where are the high LTV cash out refi??

Hello BP Fam! I need a referral for a cash out refi lender.

Project details:

This Redwood City home was purchased from seller who was facing foreclosure, divorce, bad tenants, and dilapidated house. We negotiated the price down to $1m. We put in $300k to put in 6 bedrooms and 8 baths. Each unit has private bathroom and is renting for $1600-1800 a month. The home is worth about $2.2m!

My challenge is now I am having a difficult time finding a lender who can cash out refi this investment property. Does anyone have experience with a lender who can help me pay back my lenders :P

My focus area is in the Bay Area. My marketing gets leads from far up north. If someone wants to take on a small and cheap project feel free to contact me!

@Albert Bui Thank you very much! That's very insightful. 

Should I be lending under a corporation or would as an individual suffice? Considering it's lending and the liability is not on the lender's shoulders I figured it won't really matter. 

@Albert Bui Wow that was very informative! I will definitely look into both right away. 

I'll steer clear of Chase for the HELOC. Sounds like the strategy I should take for my scenario would be:

1) Refi the rental

2) Take over this flipper's loan as 1st position lender

3) Repay the refi loan upon disbursement 

4) Attain a HELOC

5) Fund the next acquisition with the HELOC

6) Refi the same rental

7) Pay off HELOC

8) Pay off refi loan upon disbursement

Am I missing anything here? 

Hello BP!

My family and I have three properties (1 primary, 2 rental) held in one family trust. They trust my methods and are allowing me to leverage the equity to invest in real estate.

1) Primary property was purchased about 5 years ago for $700k with market value up to $1.4m.

2) 1st rental property was purchased about 5 years ago for $300k, current market value is about $800k if rehabbed to sell. Loan balance about $200k

3) 2nd rental property was purchased 25 years ago. Current market value is about $1m, should have very little/low loan balance.

My parents are allowing me to tap into one of the properties to fund my fix and flips, new rental acquisitions or private lending. How could I go about this to maximize the opportunity? I did some research online and just came out a bit more confused than going in. 

Possible scenario:

I have a friend who is currently funding a flip with hard money, 2 pts @ 10%. They would be open to replacing that loan with a more favorable loan from me. How would go about structuring their loan replacement? I want to be careful and not make any mistakes with my family's money.

Questions:

Should I be looking to refi or a HELOC?

Is it possible to get a HELOC against a rental property? From what a Chase Bk rep told me, this is a no.

Should I use this equity from private lending for other people's flips or should I be purchasing properties in my own name? 

What else am I missing before I dive head first with other people's money?

Post: Should I use a handyman or a contractor?

Thanks for all the info guys. 

I will hire the GC for the work that requires permitting I'll leave the tiny tasks to the handymen, limit them to only the finishes. I am learning how GCs work so that the next project I can be less reliant on them. 

We start this week!

Hello BP, it's been quite some time since I have posted. I finally have a project I'm working on! 

I have a project in San Francisco CA but the general contractors charge so much. I have a few questions as a first time rehabber... 

About the project: It is a SF property that is permitted for a full renovation of the existing living space and a garage/basement conversion. I will have a GC take care of the "major" things (I don't really know what is considered major).

I looked all over the internet but cannot get a good grasp on my questions. My questions are...

1) What can a handyman do instead of a licensed contractor?

2) Can a handyman do projects that require building permits?

3) Anything else I should know about using a handyman?

Thank you in advance!

@Account Closed I really appreciate you giving me your perspective. Advice based on success and failures, a great free lesson for all BPers.

With all factors considered, is there a middle ground that can be negotiated here to make a deal out of the given scenario?
