 Not accurate enough.

Hey Jacob - do you mean phone number and email?

Hello BP community, 

I am curious if anyone has come across a lender that will give a loan based on renting by the room and using the rental income as estimates in the loan?

Ask your favorite mortgage broker about DSCR loans.

I was told by my lender they would base the loan on AirBNB estimates of what my STR would generate, didn't even have to one day of rental on it. But alas, then the lender was no longer working at that company so I'm not sure what I was told was 100% accurate. ;-)

True but on thing to note: the AirDNA projected income qualifies a deal, but we do not value it off of the rental amount.

You can try a bridge cash out on the properties owned free and clear. You will need a minimum of 7 days to close though as it takes a couple of days to complete the inspection and order title/insurance, get docs ready etc.. 


 Bridge cash out is a great option, especially if you cannot access the property bought at auction prior to closing.

The cross-collateralization would likely need to be in the first lien position if you want to use this strategy

Most DSCR loans only have seasoning of 6 months. There are some products out there for 3 months seasoning as well.

Hey Amber - is this currently operated as a rent-by-the-room?

Hello, I am planning to buy my first investment property within the next 6 - 8 months. I was wondering when it comes to finding a hard money lender for rehab costs, is it a general rule to pay for a percentage of the rehab initially? Is it possible to find a hard money lender who will pay 100% of the rehab costs up front and then receive their return 6 months later during the refinance process?

Don't do 100% financing!!!! That is way too overleverage, and if a lender offers that to a first-time investor, you will be ripped off with rates and points. If they require an appraisal, they will likely cut the loan amount, too (standard LTARV is 70%). 

Most hard money lenders will do 80% LTC with 100% lender-funded rehab for first-time investors.

You can do this as a hard money refinance. It's not super complicated, but you can pull out cash to rehab the deal and then put it on the market with no prepayment penalty.

It sounds like you would be looking for a DSCR loan. The income qualification for the property is off of the property's cash flow. You would need to put 20% down for something like this.

The short answer is, yes...but, it is more difficult & takes more time. If you have a deal and you're willing to contribute some time & sweat equity, you can consider joint partnerships &/or equity partnerships. Just be careful who you partner with...be sure they are reliable, honest, experienced, and trustworthy. There's also hard money & private lenders, but they can be expensive. (It may not matter if it's truly good deal. Or, it could eat up all of your profit, which is most common.) Outside of that, maybe searching hi & low for seller financed or lease option deals. They're pretty hard to find in this market.

I'm happy to collaborate to see if there's anything I can help with! I have pretty diverse investor clientele. Feel free to connect with me any time!

DSCR loans are actually a lot easier than conventional loans! There is no need for tax returns or paystubs, and the closing timeline is about 30 days. Rates are also in the high 6s at the moment.
