Hi all,

I'm wondering which institutions are currently the best for a commercial building line of credit.  Asset type is retail. I have calls to Chase, Wells and some smaller banks.  Any specific lending institutions I should look at?  I want to secure funds and not pull until I need to which is why I want to go the line of credit and not loan route.

Thanks.

Hi there! I look at multis every day and the ones that look interesting as of late, just don't pass my critique of the number. I literally just ran numbers on two fourplexes that went live on MLS today, and both scream vacancies and negative cash flow. Some are within HOA's with monthly fees to... wait for it.... >$1,400/mo. The rents were stated as (avg) $800/mo, with two tenants being evicted due to non-payment of rent. I am guessing they were on month-to-month, because we are still under the CDC directive for no evictions. So, with avg gross income of $3200-$1400(HOA)=$1800. Oh wait, two vacancies... 1800-1600=$200 gross income. Uuhhhh.

I'm not saying there are NO deals here; there are. We just need to watch every single day for the good ones. And be very careful to consider ALL aspects of purchasing and owning here right now. (As always)

Hi Terri. I think I looked at that high HOA deal myself and laughed. Let me ask you this. Do you foresee Vegas Multi-Unit price per unit hitting the 40k per unit low again like in 08? With the correction that is taking place and with Covid, I guess I just wonder if high unemployment will tumble prices back to this price point. Insert crystal ball comment. :)

@Shant Mahserejian also note that, if you plan to use debt, Lenders will look critically upon the considerations that @Charles Carillo mentioned.  As a direct Fannie/Freddie lender, I can confirm that neither agency is very interested in doing business in Vegas/Nevada at present and have explicitly tagged the market as a "market of concern".

This is interesting David.  I didn't know that lenders were avoiding Vegas right now.  I do want to use leverage and was looking at larger units (6+) and commercial financing of course.

Has Las Vegas rebounded from COVID? During the shutdowns Nevada had over 30% unemployment. If you do move forward with a purchase, make sure the numbers you are buying on are COVID 2020 numbers not pre-COVID numbers. If you are going to purchase in an area with high unemployment, make sure you are getting a sizeable discount.

Hi Charles, thanks for the response.  To clarify, the rebound I was referring to was pre covid.  I purchased in 2004 (when the market was high in Vegas) and then saw it come down drastically after 2009.  As of January 2020, the values were right back up to 2004 prices for my investment.  That's the rebound I was referring to.  Now with Covid, I 100% agree that we have to analyze deals with a fine-tooth comb.  I do wonder though at 80k a door (1 bedroom 1 bath) on a Multi-unit in areas that are not war zones, is it really something to pass on during covid?  I have seen some of these investments north of a 7 cap and to someone in California, that is very appealing.  I want to continue out of state investing and wanted to stay on the west coast (really Nevada & Arizona since it is within driving distance to me).  My biggest concern is when Vegas gets hit, it gets hit very hard.

Hi All,

Las Vegas Multi-Unit market has come up quite a bit over the years.  I got hit bad in 2008 with values dropping but it of course rebounded now. Anyone else worried about buying right now in Vegas?  There is still some decent deals and the price per unit is much lower than California.  I would love to hear/discuss Las Vegas multi unit investing,

I would like to be added too, please.  I'm an investor from LA.  Thank you.
