Post: Cash-Out $800,000 Home? (What Would You Do?)

A home that was purchased for $600,000 in 2006 is now worth $800,000 in 2020. 

The home is at a 6.5% interest rate and a mortgage of $3,900/month. Once refinanced it is estimated that the new mortgage will be $5,000/month.

Is it worth it to cash-out refinance at 75% to start investing in other properties to generate cash flow properties?

$800,000 * 75% = $600,000 to start investing.

Open to all feedback and strategies!

Thank you so much for all the replies!

@Alan Feldman good to know! I am doing that as we speak (Getting finances in order)

@Mark F. I never thought of that. I will look more into this but I don't think that is the case with this property.

@Tony Nardini This property is not a 4 Family. Good to know all these things before hand.

I am looking at a 2bd/2ba in Union City for $158k (1,078 sqft) =$147/sqft (two units)

Other properties in the area are selling for 300k-400k, which average around 300+/ sqft

It is a foreclosure and is sold as-is by the bank and remodeled in 2006.

Rent: $1200+ for a 1bd/1ba in the area of the property.

Anything else that I'm missing? 


I would love to hear any feedback, opinions, comments!

lets talk in prerona numbers, since no one knows what it will do to everything.

1. Cosmetic, no HVAC electric or plumbing with new kitchen and bath - $15-$30/ sqft

2. Cosmetic, some HVAC maybe new service line and box  also alterations to plumbing with new kitchen and bath - $ 40-$60 / sqft

3. Gut rehab, nothing structural no digout - $70-$90/ sqft

4. Full gut with even joists being replaced - $100- $125 /sqft

5. New construction - $125- $225 / sqft

these prices depend on your workers, the scope of work, and the material you use. Hopefully that helps. 

 Good to know

This is what the person sent me:

Below are the loan terms and conditions.

While every loan is structured to meet individual and corporate borrowing needs, our general lending parameters include:

* Loan amounts ranging from $25,000 to $5,000,000.00

* Interest rates starts at 5.95% to 8% depending on the type of deal involved.* 6-month to 20-year repayment term. 

* Interest-only and amortizing payment structures.* Balloon payment is allowed 

* There is a service charge known as the loan origination cost which is needed for the loan processing and it depends on the loan amount.

* There are no prepayment penalties.

See attachment for our company's brochure and entity certificate for verification.

I have a family member trying to purchase a home for $276,000.

They want to put $100,000 for the down payment and the estimated rehab is around $50,000 (husband is a contractor, he can do all the work). They will also be doing an FHA Loan ($9660) and FHA 203K for this home.

They were told the mortgage would be around $2500/month and rent each unit around $1300/month (2 big units can be rented out for this price). Taxes are around 9-10k/year.

I crunched the numbers and figured out that the ROI is well below what a typical investor might consider profitable.

I'm I right on this one?

Here is the listing, below.
