For our value-add acquisitions, we are getting permanent and bridge loans at 75%-80% of total acquisition cost (purchase price plus rehab plus some soft costs). 

Many soft money commercial lenders have no problem with 20, 25, or even 30 year terms.  

Usually 10% is for financing, carrying and other soft costs, while the remaining 20% is for profit.And if you go over on your expenses or maybe get a slightly lower ARV when you sell, the 70% Rule cushion will make it really hard for you to not be in the money.As long as you stick to the rules!

I'm not that experienced, but I don't know if the market will be soft enough this winter to justify that kind of blanket purchasing.  

Give her some of the 3mil thick bags too to quickly bag up soft goods (linens, pillows, clothing, etc.). 

Hello all, I am a Program Manager for OGE Real Estate Investment Group assisting investors who are seeking private (soft) money for real estate purposes through our network of private equity investors.

Ask your lenders but usually they will wand the loan they are providing and the money you are putting towards the deal to add up to less than 70% therefore I'd look for deals where the purchase and rehab is 50-60% because you will have soft costs and closing costs adding up to less than 10% and then you will have lender payments for about 10% or less.

I can review the information in their system like statements, bills, etc.The question is, should I be talking all of that information and input into my own software to have the detail or just keep soft copies of the statements and reports for record keeping?

(That's one credit)  if your market is over priced in one area, it will be soft in another.  

I call this space "soft-ish money."
