Hi All,
Was hoping to tap the groups expertise on explaining/guiding me on financing options. I'm looking to by a 4-plex property outside Pittsburgh for about $220K, and am confused about lending options.
I'm 41 and have a successful career thus far in the Investment Banking space. So i have pretty sizable personal assets, along with a relative high income. Due to my personal assets, i really need to have the Loan under a newly created LLC for liability protection. I also am fine closing my purchase in cash, and refinancing shortly thereafter (or even down the road in 6-12 months).
So for my questions:
1) I've spoken with some mortgage brokers- they all seem to charge a lot of upfronts and are telling me I need to do a DSCR loan. Is that really the only option available via a mortgage broker? Are there other options i should be asking for?
2) I haven't yet reached out local banks, but seeing the quotes from brokers makes me wondering if Banks may be better? I'm fine if things get drawn out weeks/months, and would not mind building personal relationships with Banks. But I'm wondering if the LLC loan is a no-go for banks.
3) Last question- i'm seeing rates on DSCR loans in the 7.2% to 7.5% range, in addition to 1 to 2 points and they likely track 10 yr treasuries (4.26% as of today). Is a roughly 3% premium to Treasury's typical for a commercial/DSCR loan?
Many thanks for any insights & guidance.
Tim
