Line of Credit based on Appraisal

Line of Credit based on Appraisal

Is it possible to establish a line of credit based on the Appraisal value of a property?

I've only tried BOA, they want to use the purchase price to determine the amount of equity.

    Depends on how long you have owned the property. If you’ve only owned it a short time most banks will use the lesser of the purchase price or appraisal.

    richard is correct. it's called SEASONING. usually, banks will require 6 mos to a year.

    just to add....

    some banks may waive the seasoning requirement IF you have made SIGNIFICANT improvements to the home. if that is the case, they will want receipts to prove it.

    We have done it numeous times in the pre-bailout era.

    We have not tried since the RE crash.

    Most of the banks willing to consider this are the small, local banks; not the large, national players.

    Dave,

    You need to catch up with your local banks or use portfolio lenders. Commercial loans are not restricted with seasoning requirments. Nor are the restricted to the # of properties financed. You may need to consult with a professional on this.
