Post: How can I take some equity out from my rental portofolio!

Hello!

I just spoke with a lender that does HELOC and they told me they only do HELOC for primary homes, not for rentals. Have anybody worked with a lender that do do HELOC on rental properties as well? If yes, please leave me the contacts to see if they can help me as well.

Also, How do you go about pulling out equity from your rental portfolio in this High Interest Rate environment? 

Thanks in advance for your answers!

When it comes to private lending companies, the interest rates for cash out refis are starting somewhere around 9% for borrowers with good credit right now. 

The most efficient way to find an institutional lender that will do a HELOC on investment properties might be to go through a licensed mortgage broker

Quote from @Tyler Livingstone:

My wife and I are Canadian. We own a USA based LLC for real estate investing. I have been speaking with lenders regarding cash out refis. Most are coming in at 60 to 65LTV for Foreign Nationals. With the high DSCR loan interest rates we're finding it hard to get decent returns when your leaving that much money in a deal.

Are you talking about institutional lenders or private lenders? Most private lenders lend a max of 75% LTV for cash out refis. And private lenders usually lend to the business entity and not the actual person so that might help your situation. However, I admit I'm not sure how many lenders would change their terms because you're Canadian. I'll send you a DM

Good evening friends! 

There has been a lot of rate volatility this past year and we've seen many lenders have some difficulty servicing their market. That said, who has become your Go-To hard money lender?


As a private money broker, it depends on the borrower and the deal. Regardless of the market volatility, I still have to match the borrower with a lender that fits.

Post: loan options for a residential/commercial property to rehab/refi

Quote from @Brandon Fischer:

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to see what loan options there are for a commercial unit with single family residence on it. My plan is to buy, rehab and refi to pay back the loan with interest and sell my current house to move into this property.  My current house sale would cover half of the initial loan of $325k (about $150-$160k which is pretty below appraised value) and the refi would cover the remaining 50% plus interest.  The LTC would be around 35% considering the property doesn't need any major repairs.  for a little background on myself, I own 3 income properties in an llc as well as my current house, they're all paid for except a heloc for 50k on one of them.  I completed an extensive rehab my primary house last year, as well as rehabbing all 7 units on my other properties, so I have the experience it takes for this flip, just not the timeline for a traditional mortgage if I'd like to put in an offer.  So I'm wondering if anyone thinks a private hard money loan is a logical way ( or even possible) to get funding for this project.  Is this an attractive option for any investor? it seems pretty low risk with selling my primary house with the ability to borrow against another one of my properties if necessary, but I am relatively new to any lending outside of a bank.  Any tips would be greately appreciated!

Well when it comes to private lending companies, most will have a hard time lending you money if you plan on moving into the property.  I'll send you a DM

2.5 million is a lot to start with for a new construction job when it comes to most lenders in the private lending industry. 

The way it works is that most lenders want you to have experience doing renovations before they lend you money for new construction. But they prefer for that 1st new construction job to be a single family in which costs are in the low six figures to build.

To start with 2.5 million, you'll have less lenders willing to take this on, not only would you have to come with that huge down payment, you'll have to show you have enough to cover the loan if the project fails.

Quote from @Jessica Lamont:

We are doing a hard money 12 month loan for a fix n flip and our closing costs are over $10,200. Purchase price is $121k. Is this standard for hard money or too high? 

It varies from lender to lender but I always tell investors to expect 10% for closing costs

I'm pretty sure there is. The quickest way to find them might be to work with a licensed mortgage broker. They have a list of conventional lenders to match you with the right one

Are there any fast close lenders that do in house appraisals for Refi?

I know lenders that order appraisals through their appraisal management company. Is that what you're looking for?

Quote from @Nathan R Andersen:

They state that they are private lenders, not brokers. If that is helpful or revealing in any way. 

Not really. Brokers can be labeled private lenders because they work closely with with lenders. 

In your situation, I'm more concerned that they could be a complete fraud altogether. 

A good private money broker can put investors at an advantage when it comes to shopping for loans. But the private loan business is vulnerable to fraud for borrowers since sensitive information can be exchanged

I'll be honest, I new to the private lender idea. I'm trying to vet a lender and this is all I can find. I have the LLC filing, their website, and other than that I'm not sure if I'm able to find anything else (or should be able to) to vet this private lender. My initial hesitancy is that the rates look really good, which gives me the "too good to be true" feeling, but I've seen other people find good rates as well. Any help in this endeavor would be much appreciated.

A lot of " lenders" are not actually lenders. They're  private money brokers such as myself but they don't disclose that information. 

I'm not saying that's the case with your situation. I think you should go with your gut feeling.
