Can I get a HELOC on my investment property if I used a HELOC from my personal home for the down payment on it?

I'm a bit confused but what it means for these companies to remit taxes on your behalf. Does this mean that I do not need to save an additional 30% in a separate tax account? Can someone explain what remitting taxes means and if I should be saving separately as well please. 

Thanks!

So I've recently been approved for a $30,000 unsecured loan with BHG financial. I was referred to them by someone in the Bigger Pockets forum due to the fact that they don't report the loan to credit bureaus and would help me get into a BRRR property. Does anyone have any experience with BHG or an unsecured loans in general? What has been your experience if so?

My terms are as follows:

$30K loan

$647.37 monthly payment

854 month term with 12 months of required payments 

Fees: $300 documentation fee, $675 Reimbursable serving fee and $2100 Optional limited personal guaranty

Thoughts??

Following this — I’m also working with BHG but haven’t yet received terms. I don’t believe they have an early repayment fee either, correct?

 The way that the Senior finance manager worded it was that it was a “commitment period” of however many months. So that tells me that there is a prepayment penalty of some sort depending on the terms they give you. I would make sure to clarify that once you get your terms!

Doesn't matter what's fair, what matters is you get the deal you want. 


 Yes, I guess I meant was my analysis a good one. Not necessarily fair. 

Quote from @John O'Leary:

Hey Tamera,

Lets say you use Hard Money to buy the property because of it's condition. The highest leverage you would most likely get is 90% of PP + 100% of rehab.

$175,000 x 90% = $157,500 + $80,000 =$237,500 (loan amount)

Most bank will Cap the refi at 70-75% and you might need 6 mo of seasoning.

$355,000 x 75% = $266,260. After your closing costs and fee's for the loan you prob won't get much more than $15k cash back assuming you qualify for 75%. 

I'd happy to hop on a call and discuss on further detail if you need it. 


Hello John,

thank you for the analysis there, it always makes more sense when someone writes it out for you even though I’ve done it a million times in my head.
There was only one similar comp in the area which is why I used that $355k as a conservative ARV number. The updates I make to this home will likely be better than those of the comp and there are more rooms that can be finished so I see this valuing higher but as this is my first BRRR, I'm afraid to go too high. At the end of the refinance, is having $15k cash back a bad thing? That hasn't necessarily been discussed in my research besides anything other than a benefit.
do you feel my analysis is fair?

Working on the analysis of my first possible BRRR. Any insight is appreciated.

It is a pre-foreclosure 3 bed, 2 bath 2660 sq ft property. Hoarders lived here so tons of things everywhere and in need of a lot of cosmetic rehab including a complete kitchen gut and one bathroom. The ARV is $355,000 on the very conservative side and my estimate for repairs is $80,000. They have it listed at $299,000.

My analyzation is telling me my maximum allowable offer would be around $175,000 which is quite a bit under asking price. Since I'm going quite conservative with my ARV, does this seem fair to offer?

Thoughts please?

Hello, my husband and I are just starting our real estate investing journey and have one property under our belt. We are looking for a CPA to assist us with tax preparation/finance. Someone who specializes in investing would be wonderful. Please reach out! 

Quote from @Lyndsay Zwirlein:

What rental income #s did you use to underwrite your deal before purchasing? Is $2400 per month or $28,800 per year feasible based on your research? If so it’s probably seasonality. Also with all of our STRs, we’ve noticed a ramp up period. The first 6-9 months you’re building reviews. Like someone else said, it’s a long term investment and you’ll start to build momentum with time!


 They used $2100 as the rental income to underwrite the deal. The $2400 is feasible but going to be tight. I think it's definitely seasonality and it's causing me to panic quite a bit - we just have to make it through and with this being one of the first months, it's causing some concern. Thank you for the positivity though I believe you are right, eventually we will get there. 

Quote from @Scott K.:

It sounds like you didn't do your research or you would have forseen this coming (airbnb is extremely month to month, and december is known for high traffic since its a holiday month for many people)

I'd recommend you 1. do some actual research on your market, see which months do better than others so you have better expectations.
2. post your listing here so we can offer tailored, targeted advice
3. Lower your prices so you begin getting booked out.
4. Look at your competitors and see if they're A. simply better than you B. not booked either or C. cheaper than you.


 Thank you Scott for the input. As a new investor, I thought I did enough research and didn't want to get stuck in "analysis paralsis" so I made the move. Likely you are right though, there is definitely more I could of done in order to prepare myself. I will look more into my competitors to see what they offer. 

Here is my listing under new management: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/8...

Please give me your thoughts
