And the deal is complete

Posted: Friday, October 16 at 05:19PM

Finally finished the refinance today.  I was able to get a 30 year fixed, 5.875% note on the property.  I'm pretty satisifed with those terms.

If you've been following this story, you recall I paid $70,550 for this house.  I went through all the receipts a couple of weeks ago and the rehab costs were just under $14K.  We originally thought this would be worth about $130K fixedup, but then revised that downward after a preliminary appraisal.   The before appraisal came in at $120K, assuming the repairs as planned.  The after appraisal came in at $135K.  I know that surprised me and I think it surprised everyone else involved.  Nevertheless, I'm very pleased.  The refi amount was $88K, which covered paying off the HML and most of the costs for the refi.  Altogether I'm out of pocket about $8,000 on this deal and have a $88K, 65% LTV loan.

Now off to the next thing.

    Nice appraisal. Keeping it for a rental? How much will it rent for?

    Congratulations...

    Can you share how you found your financing and also if you had to season the title to get this done as a conventional loan?

    I was referred to Cherry Creek Mortgage Company by my hard money broker. Not sure about seasoning, but I was able to do this refi in about four and a half months from the initial purchase, using a new appraisal.
