If you DTI (including the LLC owned property) is above 50%, you may want to consider tapping into equity through refinancing.

Also, refinancing isn't available in many countries and would make even less sense in Japan for that exact same reason.

Happy to assist and walk you through the process, but the boiled down version is refinancing at the purchase price at a certain LTV. 

Using the BRRRR method, normally requires you to hold for a while until you can get refinanced, is that right?

I refinanced with the owner once to lower payments.

I'm refinancing a 8 unit apartment, I'm trying to add a HELCO after finishing refi. but all the lenders doesn't all second lien, is this normal?

Example:  My option has a sales price, a monthly option fee credit, a 3-5 year timeline, and add the last year a Owner Finance option to convert to a refinancable note for to complete the acquisition.  

So, friend bought a property cash under their name and now refinancing (cash-out refinance) the property into an LLC that is jointly owned by both of us and we will be getting funds from this refinance for renovation work.

However I ended up refinancing it because I wanted to buy something else and now it cash flows about $350/month which is close to my average/door.

U use our capital instead of credit cards there by having a very easy time refinancing me out of your deals.
