Quote from @Nadeem Ahmed:

Hello bigger pockets family,

I have a question about hard Lenders and financing with them. Generally hard Lenders have higher interest rates and would typically have me think twice about using them. But with the market now traditional loans are reaching almost the same high interest rates. My question is after using a hard lender are you able to refinance like a regular loan when interest rates come back down? Or are you stuck with them for the duration of the loan?

Also any local hard lenders in Buffalo? Looking to buy and hold multi family rental properties.


Investors who borrow hard money refinance their loans after the work is done. They probably don't do it as much if they plan to sell right away as an exit strategy. But when they're holding the property, it definitely makes sense for them to refinance and even take some of the equity out so they can get paid tax free while their tenants service their debt. 

As far as hard money lenders in Buffalo, does this multifamily need rehab?  Because if it doesn't need rehab, you can get a 30 yr rental  loan from private money companies and their wouldn't be a need for hard money

Quote from @Sol Romand:

I've got a mixed use property in south NJ, it's 75% office space and 25% residential. The residential is occupied and the commercial is vacant. I'm looking to refi and take out about 220k which is 50% of appraised value. I've been trying to get a loan, the only offer I got was for 8.75% with 1.5 bp. Is this the norm? And does it make sense at all to refi at that rate or just sit and wait until I have a tenant.

Current rent- $31,200 annual

Potential additional rent $60,000

Taxes and insurance- $15,500


Unfortunately rates are higher these days than they were even just 6 months ago.  You can search around but you might not find a rate that is significantly less than that

i have some properties under contract that i intended on wholesaling but at this point there listed and i actually want to purchase do i need good  credit or can i purchase under my business name. any help would be appreciated


I wish more wholesalers would take the initiative you're taking. Wholesalers already have buyers in place if funding doesn't go through, so why not take the chance?

The best thing about using private money or hard money companies is that you don't need good credit or work history. What you mostly need is a good deal. I sent you a PM

Looking to work with a private lender for the first time in an acquisition that will be my largest to date. Property is in Washington County. 

Any recommendations?
thank you so much.  


Lending companies primarily base their approvals on the details of the property and the exit strategy.  A they also usually ask for a 10 to 20% down payment

Quote from @Mitch Jones:

Hello, I have a couple houses (1 single fam and 1 duplex) that we bought, fixed up and now looking to pull cash out. Does anyone have a good lender they can recommend? Properties are both in Fort Dodge, roughly 90 miles northwest of des Moines, thank you for any recommendations. 


 A lot of private lending companies offer cash out refinances. Funding is primarily based off the value of the property. I sent you a PM

He might be serious but I wouldn't take that bet. It's especially weird that this guy doesn't have a real company address and offering you 100% financing for your 1st deal. There are hard money companies with full infrastructure who wouldn't take that risk.  

If he is serious, there's a lot he's not telling you. I wouldn't do it man. I'd rather find the 20% to put down and go with a real company that closes with the use of a title company than risk giving that man my bank account information. 

Btw, as a private money broker, I've only seen lenders ask for bank statements or send PLAID links to verify your bank account information. You can pay for the appraisal with a credit card.

Funding is pretty fast with companies that lend private and hard money.  However, they also require appraisals. Most of the lenders I work with will be ready to fund within a few days after the appraisal report comes in. I sent you a PM

Manufactured homes can be difficult to finance mostly because of the property value. The further below 100k, the harder it becomes to find a lender that will finance it. I sent you a PM
