I am ready to refinance one of my rentals to pay off the private lender loan I used to purchase it. ($85k) The ONLY thing preventing the loans from being accepted is the square footage of the house. (500 sf) Everything else about the house passes with flying colors!

But personally in my state of WA, I can lend in 2nd position on a rental at very low CLTV and put a 1st on a new acquisition at a low LTV and I would take that loan all day, every day over a 1st position on an acquisition at 85% LTC.

Don't be afraid to negotiate, particularly if you have a lot of rentals.4.

We are looking to start a rental investment business and we're currently doing all of the reading and learning that we can get our hands on.

Hi Jacklyn, I'm a VT realtor (though I focus on northern VT), and also on the board of the VT short-term rental alliance (VTSTRA).

Tons of rentals it seems. 

I probably have 150k equity at this point)- A SF rental with ~150k equity, no HELOCThe new property will probably need to sit for 6-12 months while I renovate.

Will this be a rental or something you'll be living in?
