Chase Stocki BRRRR a Duplex - Financing Via Hard Money & VA Loan
20 March 2019 | 9 replies
This is as of march 20th, 2019 of course.Additionally here are some important advantages with VA financing you have over other loan products:- there is no title seasoning on VA so as long as you can document the value increase that has occurred either through your value adds or through the market increasing purely from buying a good deal you can refinance right away even for a cash out refinance unless conventional which requires 6 months and FHA which requires 12 months to use market value- VA can finance up to 100% of your property's value which allows you to avoid lower appraisals as with conventional or FHA you have to get minimum 2.25-5% equity in order to refinance- VA funding fee which is often pretty pricey (bordering hard money in terms of points charged 2.15 - 3.30 pts financed) can sometimes be waived if you have service connected disabilities or receive disability compensation for service connected injuries so check into this- make sure you save all your contractor invoices and receipts so you can document the improvements especially if there is a very large gap between what price you paid versus what value you're pushing for on your appraisalHope that helps and good luck on your BRRR.
