@Lauren Koon I think there needs to be more info provided. What is your current mortgage rate at? Has there been any appreciation of the current property? How long do you plan to be in the property?

 I did reach out back to the lender on this Andrew I sent you a PM with his response just don't want to put to much info here.

 So just for clarification form 1025 is filled out in addition to a normal appraisal and is used to qualify rental income? Has this changed at all since covid 19? I looked over the form and it almost looks like an appraisal form that they would use to value the property. Sorry I just want to make sure that if I reach back out to the lender I have an understanding of what I'm referring to.

@Tristan Colborg thanks for posting and I can certainly help with what you went through:

1. Rent Received vs. Appraisal - Yes, the current rule is that on your SUBJECT property, you need to have an executed lease with 2 months of payments...OR....a lease with a 1007 "rent comparison" report on your appraisal.  It's either or for Fannie/Freddie.  So we normally just use the 1007 report since it's easier to do.  Very sorry that your lender did not know this.

2. Proof of Payment - The industry standard of documenting a mortgage that does not report on your credit is with a "verification of mortgage" (VOM) form.  Its a standard form that you never see as a consumer but lenders use it to validate things on a mortgage - like if you have paid on time and if your mortgage is in good standing.  I cannot speak for every lender here but that is the industry standard form to use.  However, the method that this article speaks to is to always use 0% interest with no payments needed...just to avoid any items like this.  But a "VOM" satisfies it even with payments required.

I certainly understand that some markets have more "investor friendly" lenders than other markets.  But both of these items I would point are pretty easy things to know if you have ever written investment properties before. Not knowing about a 1007 report is a rookie issue...not for you, but the lender.  If you still want to work with this lender point these two items out and if you need the chapter and verse for Fannie/Freddie just send me a PM and I'll give that to you so we can teach them how to do their job.  If they don't know those two items I might warn that there might be other things they don't know too.  Just be careful.  

 Andrew can form 1007 be used on multi unit properties as well or just single family?

@Andrew Postell I recently started trying to finish the Rate/Term refinance and a property that I tried this strategy on and ran into a couple obstacles I thought I would share.

I filed a mortgage on the property with me as the mortgagor and the LLC as the mortgagee, just like you talk about in this forum. However, when I set up property management the rent payments go into my business (same LLC) account. I was told that underwriters right now are not just taking signed leases but need to see actual rental deposits on bank statements, otherwise they can't count rental income.

Additionally I was told that they can only count rental payment towards covering PITI but not the excess.

The lender I am working with also said that underwriters may ask to show payments have been made to the LLC as per terms of the mortgage.

it is looking like it may be harder to pull this off with out having everything set up perfectly. I may just need to file a satisfaction of mortgage and just do the cash out refinance at 70%LTV on my 3 unit versus the 75% this strategy was going to allow.

@AndrewPostell

Question for you on this strategy. I purchased a property using a HELOC from my primary residence. Upon purchase I had my title company file a lien on the property for my LLC with the 0% 12-month term. I'm now looking to do the rate term refinance but do have a question. Because I used the HELOC from my primary residence, which is what I want to pay back with the new loan, the monthly payment on this will be included in my DTI correct. Because according to the lender the new loan is going to be used to pay off the lien/loan from my LLC not the HELOC correct? I'm trying to make sure I understand this correctly and want to give myself the best opportunity to be approved. Thanks in advance.

That looks like a solid deal, for sure!  Thanks for sharing, Tristan.  Did you get any forecasts on rent rates in this area?   

 Yes I got estimates from both my agent and my PM company. Now we will see if we get those estimates. Lol

Hey BP I'm just wrapping up rehab on a triplex in South Euclid and lending for lender recommendations to do a rate/term refinance. This is my first investment property so no issues with the 10 loan limit. I would prefer to build a relationship with someone local, but open to other options as well. Hopefully with a company that is fine with working with out of state investors. Thanks for the help! 

 I know a lot of investors that have been happy with Goldwater Bank. They are local and pretty good. 

 Thanks!
