@Jaysen Medhurst

Thank you so much for your knowledgeable insight. I will post the information you’ve asked for in the next few day honestly I’m not sure what some of the acronyms mean. I’ll research it. Thanks again you’ll here form

Me soon. I will look to get out if the pause as soon as I can my hope is to do it as soon as I begin to collect full rents. Mitch.

@Jaysen Medhurst

Here is the rest of the agreement I am concerned about opening a bank account with them sounds fishy. Also after in year 6 he mentioned the rate can float or I can refi with them as he says Ted it’s most likely what the will do. My frustration is I’m paying closing cost at the beginning and again at year 6 is my understanding. This makes no sense I’ll be paying closing cost of ~ 60 k to get a lower rate though-out the life of the loan and that will come form my equity right ? unless I’m Getting this all wrong

Hi @Jaysen Medhurst

I'm not sure what his relationship is with the mortage company I suspect they are related or working with each other. I've always been suspect of this especially since he brought it to me. Since I have no experience with evaluating the proposal I'm reluctant to even entertain the idea I'm just that cautious. However, I would like to explore saving money. My motive is that I would like to place my properties in LLC's which I currently can't do as I have traditional Mtg. He said a commercial loan will allow me to place them in LLC and lower my monthly payments. Do you know if the current pause in monthly payments will affect my eligibility to get a refi in the non commercial refi market. I was told banks are not going through with loans in pause payments status. I am have some issues with collecting some rents. Mitch.

Hello everyone: I have been approached by my management company to look into refinancing my (2) 3 family units located in the Bronx Here is part of the proposal agreement. Please give my your thoughts. I am have no experience with this.

I'm sorry for not providing the necessary info. There is about $5,000 worth of work to be done I had a contractor walk the house and that was his estimate. The bank has already approved me for a $446,000 loan with the purchase price set at $421,000 and I was estimating to giving him $5,000 after closing. I would have to pay his estimated closing cost of ~ $19,000. In this scenario, I would put down 20% of the purchase price which I have for the downpayment.

I was also thinking of how to structure the deal differently so that I would not have to give a 20% downpayment using a warranty deed and then refinancing soon after. using this scenario, my bank has given me an estimate of Cash from the borrower of ~$2,000.00 that would be all I would need to come to closing. I have not done a deal like this before and I wan to be sure I'm not waking myself into ta trap by trying to save on the deposit.

Hello everyone. I was referred to someone who is interested in selling his home. He just wants out doesn’t care how it happens. He ha last experienced a very difficult divorce. He doesn’t owe his X-wife anything. He want sleep out. I met other him and learned that he is current on his payments. He owes the bank $421,000 and has owned the property for the last 3 years. The estimated value is $550,000-600,000. He would like to get some cash after we close. He didn’t say how much. How should I structure this deal ?

Mitch

@Danielle Wolter I can’t qualify for less than 25 % deposit.

Martin et.al So since then I'm now Getting a guaranteed 5.5 % interest rate. That drops my Mtg Payment by another $30 /month. The ARV is $350k estimated. I'm collecting $1,850 per apartment there are two. MTG. Payment is 2,000k /Month including taxes and insurance. I'm an holding as a long term rental.

not sure what you mean by BRRR ?

This looks like a good deal based on my knowledge... These are actual numbers from the bank disclosure. I may have not entered the correct vacancy, water bill electric bills information they could be possibly a little higher. Thanks in advance. Mitch
