10 year (the common benchmark for CRE loans) just keeps climbing.

For some buyers it would end up being less than a 2.5-3% commish, and for others more.The tricky part for the buyer is it would have to come out of their pocket in addition to the down payment, whereas a commission paid by the seller at closing is included in the purchase price and absorbed into their loan (usually unless paying cash obviously) so the buyer only has to make the down payment out of pocket.

Sell your car and get a loan on a new car.

Financed Loan Amount: $172,0004.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

Are you using the 10% down second home occupancy loan?

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

You could build a new one every 2-3 years and move into it as a primary so the bank would be more friendly with your loan.

I see you did a loan sizing down below on your sheet, but I'm thinking that's on current NOI and not on a 7-year projection.
