Hey everyone,

Exploring financing options for a duplex in New Haven, CT. The lender my agent put me in contact with is telling me that rates for an investment property are currently low 7's with 2 points. 30 yr fixed no Interest Only.... Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

 Hey Robin, thanks for the welcome. I want to enter Originations with more experience and a solid book of business with guaranteed deals. (Obviously deals fall thru all the time but knowing a property NEEDS to refi this year is what I’m getting at). Additionally, failing to close a loan over a fiscal year is a huge red flag and usually leads to termination.

I want to dive headfirst into RE investing to gain that experience I mentioned above. I imagine borrowers will be able to relate more to someone with investing experience.

 Thank you Lien, appreciate the warm welcome!

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Matthew. I work as an U/W for a REIT in Boston, multifamily agency lending. I discovered my passion for Real Estate while running my start-up late-night restaurant in College. I'll never forget the day I learned about "ghost" kitchens! My Real Estate goals are to start investing in small multifamily properties in Connecticut and to transition into an Originations role.

Outside of work, I enjoy most active activities: avid skier and a terrible golfer. Delusional NY Giants fan as well, my screensaver is DJ.

Nice to meet you all!
