Lenders like Newfi who offer a full Non-QM suite and multiple rental property loans with different qualification structures (and brokers whose purpose is to do the same - as many options as possible) - can likely toggle how they are framing a loan even though it might look the same to the end borrower - if they are asking for Tax Returns they are likely on the back end structuring it as something else while it may look indistinguishable to you as the borrower

A little context: the building is structurally sound and they have done major updates such as septic, generator, and sprinkler system, and all mechanicals are recently inspected and tagged.

In these scenarios, they might structure the loan with a higher rate or more stringent terms.

Every deal is different, and supply and demand really dictate what we can sell it for.

Here is the fee structure:- Flat fee of $595 per transaction (deal over $1M has a higher fee)- 100% commission to agent- Free E&O insurance $1M for every transaction- Updated forms for buy & sale transactions (similar benefits as from the NAR membership)- Annual membership fee of $109X3=$327- No mandate on NAR membership ($550 per year in MA.  

DSCR lenders might offer flexibility in fee structures, so it’s worth exploring whether they can streamline costs if you’re using the same lender for both transactions.If you take out $50k for the down payment on the second house, you can always tap into the remaining equity in the future, but doing so later could result in additional fees, as you’d likely need to refinance or apply for a second HELOC.

Bottom line - All hype, bs, misinterpretation, opinion bias, etc aside, sellers willing “owner finance” the sale of their property for one reason - and one reason only: They PERCEIVE that they are getting a higher price for their property by owner financing than by a cash (cash to them) sale.The “perceive” part is why buyers can sometimes structure terms ridiculously one sided in their favor - because some sellers are so focused on PRICE they become oblivious to anything else.It’s why I and numerous others have been able to structure 20 year owner financing loans at ZERO interest; why sellers have accepted “substitution of collateral” that gave them a lien on recreational land I had rather than their own income producing property; why sellers accept second position liens and allow buyers to obtain new first mortgages ahead of theirs (subordination), and why sellers always accept mortgages without my personal guarantee.I myself sell properties and provide owner financing to obtain a higher price.

Below are some general notes on DSCR loans:* usually used for single family or 2-8 multi family unit properties (fits your scenario)* must be for investment, non owner occupied (if looking for a product for alternative qualifying solutions for owner occupied there are other products)* can close in a personal name or LLC* usually 80% LTV for a purchase (20% down payment) & usually 75-80% LTV for cash out refis* prepayment penalties vary and are optional, but the higher the prepayment penalty, the lower the rate / options typical range from no prepay all the way up to 5 year prepay and structures vary for how those penalties work (3 year is my most popular by far)* appraisal most likely required and paid out of pocket during transaction* can be used for long term, mid term, or short term rental properties * generally 1%+ is the desired DSCR ratio but you get better rates if the ratio is higher (usually rate breaks kick in at 1.15%+ or 1.25%+) and you can still get the loan done if ratio is lower than 1% but the rate will reflect that (DM me if you wand help learning how to calculate the ratio)* the average time to close is 21-30 days* fees vary lender to lender and product to product, but $1595 underwriting plus title fees is pretty standard* 700+ credit is preferred to get max LTV, but plenty of options if credit falls below that* a typical loan minimum is $75k (have limited options for $50k+) and typical loan maximum is $3-4m (have limited options for $4m+)* 3 months reserves usually required, having 6+ months will usually result in better loan terms, 0 reserves can still get the job done if you go with a program that allows you to use the cash flow as reserves* 30 year fixed, IO, and ARMS available

Of the HOAs that do allow STR, each has a unique fee structure.

The builder will need to supply a Cost analysis, Blue print and a few other things prior to the Draw being negotiated and set up.The land that you own will act as "Equity" to offset the LTV/LTC so you are off to a good start.
