But if they are seeking to hold a property for any length of time and want their cash investment back there are some important rules to understand with conventional loan:If you buy a property with cash (or with a HELOC) you can receive a cash out loan on Day 1.There is not a 6 month waiting period with receiving a cash out loan if you purchased a home with cash or with a HELOCBUT you will be limited to the amount of....Your purchase price + closing costs (costs when you purchased the home)OR75% of the “After Repair Value”...WHICHEVER IS THE LOWER AMOUNT (super important)These rules are important to understand so here are two examples:Example 1: If you purchased a home with $50k of cash, and put $30k of renovations into the loan, and the home was worth $100k. 75% is $75k and $50k is your purchaseprice.

Paul DeSilva Banks are only offering commercial loans on my 2 family refinance
24 February 2018 | 16 replies
@Paul DeSilva:@John Leavelle and @Anthony Gayden (above) are both correct.Unless you have more than 10 residential mortgages, or the properties are above the jumbo mortgage limits or you're trying to finance the the properties with the LLC intact, then they should qualify for conventional residential FNMA loans.For the LLC situation: my strategy is to close the loan under my personal name (no LLC), then after a few months of "seasoning" to establish on-time payment, notify the lender that I plan to drop the property into an LLC strictly for asset protection purposes.Many seasoned pros will tell you that you don't even have to notify the lender that you plan to do so, but will warn that doing so runs the ever-so-slight risk that they may actually call the entire loan due immediately.
