I am looking at possibly getting into apartment complexes, but with the banks currently tightening up it is making these deals difficult. Who invest in realestate investors who are getting started? Thanks.

New investors are getting funded. I have a friend who just bought an 18 unit building in Decatur, GA. His financing is through Bank of America, it was his first multifamily deal.

If you have a deal you are considering, post the details up and let's see what we can help you come up with.

Hi Taz,

I am curious, I too invest in Decatur, GA (SFH). Did your friend secure funding with B of A that included an allowance for rehab, or did he secure a straightforward loan with 25% down and paid for rehab out of pocket?

I am interested in apartment complexes but I am getting mixed messages from the banks re loan structure.

Any comments are much appreciated.

Paul,

Reese was approved for two different lending options through BoA.

One included full purchase and rehab, the other required 20% down and rehab costs paid out of pocket with a streamlined refinance process once the rehab was complete and the occupancy reached certain goals.

Since Reese had someone willing to front the money, he chose the second one because the terms were much more attractive

I've heard others talk about getting mixed signals. This some times happens when hypothetical preapprovals are sought. If you have a specific deal and sit down with a commercial lender there shouldn't be any mixed signals.

Taz,

I really appreciate the feedback. I understand many of the financing options available for SFH, but commercial is really a great unknown for me.Thanks for helping to clear up some of the mystery!
