Quote from @Rodney Thompson:

I am looking for a lender for a short, hard-money loan for land. I have two parcels under contract that I need some temporary funding to complete the deal. Do you have anyone you have used that you can recommend?


Hi Rodney, I'm a HML and we sometimes lend on land, I'll message you for details but bridge loans are usually 9-12% rate, 1 point, and 70-90% of purchase price funded

Post: DSCR HELP- Closing Oct 4th

Quote from @Nandish Desai:

Hello

My credit score took a hit due to incorrectly reported late payments. Since then the bank has reported a dispute with the credit bureau to remove that late payment. That takes at least 4 weeks to resolve. 

I already have a property under contract with closing on Oct 4th. Any DSCR lenders willing to work. Our current lender is not willing to move until credit dispute is rectified. Inspection and appraisal already done. Property is in NH, current credit score is 680, corrected would be 750+.


 Hi Nandish, I messaged you separately too but I can lend on a 680 FICO score if you're looking for a quote. The rate won't be the lowest but it's better than passing if the deal makes sense! Let me know if you want more info

Hello! 

I'm looking for a CPA and/or tax strategist that can help me start tax planning now that I own a property. I want to know what things I should plan to write off, what tax loopholes I can take advantage of, if I should do bonus depreciation - things like that 

If anyone has any recommendations for NEW investors that would be great! I'm looking for people who work with rookies because I'm still new - I don't need the really expensive CPA who does intricate tax strategies yet. 

Thank you! I'm in California and invest in Oklahoma 


Hey Mary, I've got a great CPA recommendation for you. I'll reach out with contact info.

Where in Oklahoma do you currently invest?

I'm active in Tulsa and have contacts working Oklahoma City.


 Oh perfect thank you! I'm in OKC

Seeking lending partners in VA and NC for active projects I have in VA and NC. I mostly buy and hold rentals 90k all-in and under. Home built in 1940 and newer single story ARV 120-160K. Average rehab is only 15-20K. I call it production housing.

Seeking lenders and partners in active deals and upcoming deals. There is so much opportunity in the markets I operate in. Let's chat.

-Brandon


 If you're experienced I could provide 90% financing of the purchase and 100% of the rehab. We also offer 0 origination points for your first loan with us if you're from bigger pockets! Last, the rate is usually 8.99-11.99% depending on the deal 

If you're interested in learning more I DM'd you! Happy to answer any questions 

Post: Looking for A and B area. Zip code help.

Quote from @Elvin William:

Hello, I'm looking to buy SFH in st Louis and KC. I'm looking to rent to section 8. I'm looking for A and B SFH. Is there a demand for section 8 housing in these cities and how hard is it to get section 8 approved for those cities. Thanks

@Elvin William

A quick and easy way to find out roughly what kind of neighborhood each property is in is by going on to niche.com and searching the zip code in the top search bar. It will give you an overall rating from an A to F scale of the zip code along with lots of other info and demographics - it really helped me! 

As for financing, I lend on purchases and refis in those areas once you're looking to get loan quotes. We can fund up to 80% of the purchase or 90% if you're rehabbing with the loan as well. Here's some other basic info:

Bridge loans:

  • 8.99-11.99% rates
  • up to 90% of PP funded and 100% of rehab funded
  • No PPP
  • 0-1 lender point fee
  • nationwide!

DSCR:

  • 30 year fixed rate available
  • 6.00-8.49% depending on the property details and your FICO
  • Up tp 80% LTV
  • Anywhere from 0 to 7 year ppp options
  • 0-1 point lender fee
  • nationwide!

Hope this helps, good luck!
