They told me no to 6 months seasoning. I bet they tell us what we want just to get our info. ;)

Thanks for the update!

sling, i just had a face to face meeting w/ a local bank here north of boston...we spoke at first about exit strategy out of hard money into a conventional loan...

he then presents me with the possibility of a staight construction/rehab loan with his bank based on 75% or even possibly 80% LTV based on ARV...with an interest rate of around 7 or under 5/1 ARM & 30 yr...

needless to say i walked out very excited...reasons he is optimistic about lending to me is 1) i have over 5 yrs experience buying/selling and renting multi family property and 2) this is not my primary business, only a secondary form of income 3) MOST IMPORTANTLY they will keep this loan "in house" as i already have over 4 mortgages

so keep calling, yesterday i think i called 6 smaller to mid sized local banks in and around Boston


BG,

Thanks so much for this info! It is really important! It gives me a ton of hope that I will be able to complete this first deal :mrgreen: Just keep me posted with your project and if I get some more info I will post here as well. Thanks again!!!

Slinger,
As Jon mentioned, local small community banks are a great option, particularly ones that will carry their own paper, tehrefore they do not have to go with the Freddie/Fannie guidelines.

You will want to use the bank in the area you are investing, as the bank is familiar with that area and not the bank where you live.

Hate to point out another problem, but be aware that some of these local banks will be more apt to loan to a "local" for the property in that area as opposed to an out of state investor. It is just a sign of the times. Keep searching the banks as there are many local ones and one of them should be able to accomodate you.


Is there an easy to to find out which local bank (in the area I will invest) carries their own paper? Or do I just try calling and asking or what is the easiest way?

Thanks guys!

Jon,

Should I be calling where I live, or where I plan to buy/lend? Two different states entirely. Let me know, thanks! :mrgreen:

Seasoning is a huge issue right now.
A NOO loan will currently require up to 6 months of seasoning. I am currently seeking creative alternatives around this as it is an issue for some of my current strategies right now. There is another thread about this issue.

Thanks for the reply!
It seems that all I am getting right now is that things are issues, the programs are gone, or that we are searching. Does anyone have answers?
Care to share what you have found so far?

Not yet. I want to have all my ducks in a row and my exit strategies planned out prior to obtaining the property.

So you think that 70% could be possible?
No seasoning requirements?
Lenient DTI or stated programs?
Cash Out to 70%?
Do tell me more if you have the info.

I would be interested in rate and term as well if cash out is not an option. I am sure it would be less than 70% in those instances.
