I was wondering if anyone had any lender recommendations when it comes to househacking. I’m looking to buy my second househack and wanted to connect with a lender that understands the strategy where I shouldn’t run into any issues qualifying for 3-5% loan. Lender Must lend in Maryland!


I’ve house hacked 4 times and am local to MD. Happy to chat sometime!

Hiya!

I have a property under contract in Hagerstown, MD, a SFH for $94K with an ARV of $160K.

I'd like to use a personal line of credit to purchase the property, pay repairs out of pocket (minor) and then do a cash-out refi ASAP (3 months is what I've heard from the banks I've been in touch with) and cashflow with the rent roll.

Has anyone done this kind of deal? Any tips on personal lines of credit -- who to use or avoid -- any anyone finding LTV cash-out refi above 75%?

Looking forward to reading your advice and insight :)

Really depends on the lender/investor and type of financing. We're both a direct lender and broker and some of the better financing options require some amount of seasoning if you want to use a new appraised value, but if you document your improvements and don't take out a loan on the property originally when you purchase then you might be able to avoid some of the seasoning requirements and do a cash out refi relatively quickly. And if you qualify on your own income/assets then you have multiple options including more conventional investment property financing, which usually has better terms than DSCR or hard money from what I see out there.

Hi,

I'm wondering what other Maryland landlords do with their tenant's security deposits. I know it has to placed in an bank account within the state of Maryland.  

Do you open a savings account?

Do you use an escrow service?

If yes who do you use?

What fees should I expect?

Any other Suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Ryan


I personally use banks with local branches in all the states I invest in for all my security deposits to avoid breaking any of those weird nuanced laws that say you need to hold the money in a bank with a local branch. Seems like an outdated law and probably not heavily enforced, but that should cover your bases in that regard as far as I know. 

In regards to the interest on the security deposits, here's a calculator to easily calculate what you owe the tenant: https://dhcd.maryland.gov/Page...

Post: Vacation / Second Home Financing on Small Multi-Family

Quote from @Brant Jones:
Has anyone worked with a lender that offers second/vacation home financing on small multi-family properties (2-4 units)?

We've been pre-approved for a second home with Navy Fed but they only lend on SFRs for vacation / second homes. We found a great opportunity to purchase a duplex, and get an "almost free" vacation property by renting out the other unit, but have been unable to find a lender that has the right financing product, i.e. not a conventional 20% down investment property loan.

Appreciate all the help in advance!

 What if you got a partner on the deal to split a higher down payment? As the other lenders on here have said, I'm not aware of any loan products readily available for a multi-family 'second home'. If you can't or don't want to partner with someone, then perhaps look at a single family property with an in-law suite or separate basement area that you can section off and rent separately (assuming allowed per local zoning/regulations).

Hey guys,


I am looking at a property in Western, NC to purchase and run as an Airbnb. I have heard Tony Robinson and Rob talk about the 10% down second home loan mortgage option numerous times.

Does anyone have a lender contact that services Western North Carolina. I'm in Durham but the property is in the Boone area.


Thanks in advance


Hey Graham, I know a few great LOs licensed there I could refer you to. There are 10% down second home loans, but you can pretty much only get one per market/per 50 mile radius and you must qualify on your own income/assets without rental income. Beyond that, there are some lenders that will lend based on the long term rents a property can generate (i.e. DSCR loan) or even qualify without using a standard DSCR calculation if you have enough of a down payment/'skin in the game' (typically 25% down is what I see required recently if long term rents can't at least cover the mortgage payment including taxes/insurance/HOA).

I missed you all so much that I created an event only 3 weeks later! Let's talk real estate over some cold tasty beverages to escape this crazy weather ;)

Hello my fellow REI Enthusiasts and welcome to our monthly social located at Jailbreak Brewing Company in Laurel, MD.

This is an informal meetup for anyone interested in anything real estate-related at all levels! I have a table reserved under Steven and will put up some trifold signs at the table with the name of the meetup above. We've been averaging around 15 people per meetup with Agents, brokers, flippers, investors, lenders, and complete newbies all coming together and having a fun time talking real estate investing because our loved ones and friends are sick of hearing us talk about it! Hope to see you there.

Also, I'm interested in any ideas to bring to the table at the meetup! If you have any potential deals you want others to look at, think about printing out the info and bringing it with you. We had 19 people at the end of May. Let's up those numbers!

thanks for continuing to organize these events Steven!

Hello,
I'm 47 yrs young and need some advice on what to do in terms of my student loan, investing and savings. I had 62,000 in student loan debt and now only have 30,000 plus $400 in credit card. I have no retirement savings and I make between 2,100-2,400 every two weeks before taxes. Help? There's a program in Maryland that's call Smartbuy that will help someone one like me into a home and pay off the remaining student loan debt. But there's a catch, I have to live in property for 5 yrs. HELP.

There are other down payment assistance programs available that might not necessarily force you to live in a property for a full 5 years in order to reap the benefits. I have found that I’ve been able to build wealth a lot faster by living in a property for a year as a house-hack, and then moving and buying another house hack in another year or two. Some argue to stay for two years to avoid capital gains taxes if you sell within 5 years, but I plan on owning my properties long term and most primary residence mortgage programs only require you to stay at the property for one year before you can move out (unless you have a life changing circumstance like a job relocation in which case you may be able to move out even sooner).

I fully agree with Scott’s plan above about increasing your savings rate and house hacking. The savings from a house hack by eliminating your housing expense can really help snowball you into the next deal (and the next and the next if you catch the real estate investing bug like many of us have who come on these forums). Happy to chat if you’d like a second opinion about your situation.

Hey y’all! I am looking to get acquainted with anyone in Nashville, TN area to learn more about the market and soon get started in real state investing. Been a huge fan of bigger pockets for 4 years now, just graduated from college and ready to hit the ground running. Really looking forward to acquiring that first deal in the near future. Excited to get started and meet some great people with similar interests and goals


Hey Luke, congrats on jumping into this world of RE investing! I used to live in Nashville and it’s been amazing to see the city grow. Prices are much higher now, but it’s fundamentally still a great place to own real estate in my opinion with low taxes, population growth, lots of major companies/universities/state gov offices there, tourist destination, etc 

I would lookup REIN - they have a Facebook group and local meetups. I also would be happy to put you in contact with some of my connections down there.

Hello,

As per my last post I am trying to get a feel for the Memphis area real estate investment market.  Once I have found a place, assuming I'm not paying cash, how do I figure which financing options to use?  Are there any articles you can refer me to?

Thanks,

Jesse

Do you own other properties currently? If buying a fixed up/turnkey rental you can also consider more traditional forms of financing. 

if a fixer upper - do you qualify for a conventional renovation loan? It would likely be a much lower rate than hard money especially for someone just starting out. 

Either way, I would recommend figuring out your financing and getting pre-approved before finding a property. I submitted an offer last week on a property with no other offers on the table and sent a pre-approval letter that was technically expired. I figured since I was a Loan Officer they would “take my word” that I was indeed qualified. nope, the listing agent still went around me and called my office and spoke with a manager to confirm that I was indeed pre-approved. Before accepting my offer, they wanted to verify I was actually qualified for financing before wasting their time and the sellers time. So if you don’t have cash, I would get pre-approved before you start touring properties to buy.

Any one on here have any investor friendly lenders in the Nashville area? Working on getting a commercial style loan with a local bank which seems to be giving me a good rate but lender is working very slow and unresponsive most of the time.


Commercial loans generally take longer than residential - appraisals can take longer and underwriting can also somehow take longer despite often less paperwork than residential mortgages. 

I own a rental in Nashville and have many clients down there still - would be happy to chat if you'd like a second opinion.
