75% will be the industry standard for max cash out.  However, 80% is typically available as a rate/term aka limited cash out refinance (cash out just being used to cover closing costs and prepaid items like taxes/insurance).

Your phenomenal DSCR is just a cherry on top. Lenders will base their max LTV on the appraised value assuming positive DSCR. However, they will not let strong DSCR drive them beyond their typical LTV caps.

Do you see strong comp support for a higher appraised value? If so, a second appraisal could be warranted.  I'd just make sure you have 2-4 unit properties that are superior that were not already used in the previous report and are in some way more comparable (closing in proximity or date of sale etc)


 Thank you for the detailed response I thought this was the case. Im shooting for another appraisal.

You either have to leave money in the deal, find a lender who will do a higher LTV, or flip and cash out. But you didnt have too much room on this one in the first place. What was your initial plan? Even if they do 85/15 your going to have to leave money in it.


 My initial plan was tat it would appraise higher. Im working on getting another appraiser over there in hopes i can get mid to high 6's


 Maybe try a BPO - this will be cheaper but not as detailed and should give you a general idea of the market - its much more expensive and time consuming to get an appraiser if your going to do multiple of them. 


 What is a BPO? 

Quote from @Mike Klarman:

For a guaranteed 10% down program you'll need good credit and 3+ experience but then with closing costs it will be more like 15% and then holding costs and such.  Just be sure you can afford your next project before jumping in.


 Yes, all those are considered but I always appreciate more experienced investors looking out for me so thank you 

Quote from @Justice Bowers:

Hey Michael! I work with investors that put about 10% down on BRRRR properties, I'd be happy to connect you with our lender.


 Hi Justice PM sent thank you

Quote from @Ko Kashiwagi:

Hi Michael,

10% down is widely available with good FICO scores and cookie cutter deals (rehab

What kind of deals are you looking at?


 Hi Ko,

Im looking at purchasing more small multifamily deals (not rural and mostly cosmetic rehabs). I have two long term rental units now (6 years) and just exited a short term rental last year due to a good off market offer.  

Quote from @Ryan Stuckey:

Hi Michael, where are you located?

We offer 100% financing on both purchase and rehab (loan size up to 75% ARV) but only in 10 states.

So if the location and the numbers are right, you can be as low as 0% down.

Yes, this kind of leverage does exist on the short-term purchase and rehab loan, and for reasonable terms.


 Ryan, Im in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Id love to hear more if either of those states qualify. 

Quote from @Ty Coutts:

Hi Michael,

With property prices appreciating, a 10% down payment can make it a bit more challenging, but there are still options. One potential route is using a FHA 203k loan for the purchase and rehab if you're okay with living in one of the units for a period of time. Another option is a hard money loan to cover both the purchase and rehab, which can then be refinanced with a DSCR loan once the rehab is complete. Many hard money lenders offer loans that include rehab costs, which could be beneficial for your BRRRR strategy.

Alternatively, if you find a lender that offers a DSCR loan with a lower down payment requirement, that could be another route to explore, especially if you already have positive rental income history. Be sure to shop around for the best terms and understand the refinancing process post-rehab to ensure your numbers work. If you had any more questions, I'd be happy to go through them, so feel free to DM me.


 Ty thank you for your response. Do you have any reputable Hard money lenders you could refer?

Hi Everyone,

I currently have a couple rental units and i am looking to do another Brrrr. My issue is properties have appreciated a lot since the last one. I only have enough cash for probably 10% down on anything id want to do. Im looking to brrrr another multifamily and refinace with a DSCR.


My question is what are my options for 10% down initial purchase with rehab able to be built in. 


 Do you have 3 exits in the last 36 months?


 No only one exit in past 36 Im more interested in buy and hold. I have 2 long term rental units (6 years) and i exited my short term rental this past year due to a good off market offer. 

Quote from @Nate Herndon:

Hey Michael, there's quite a few programs that I utilize for clients of mine who only desire a 10% down payment. Some are first-time investors, others are very experienced. 10% down payment is available for both ends of the spectrum depending on the deal numbers.

Shoot me a quick DM or email and I'd be happy to lay out the options available to you.
