Due to my age, I haven't had an opportunity to establish any tangible amount of credit, limiting my financing choices. I have tried unsuccessfully to obtain financing from a conventional bank based on my current properties. I have closed on 8 duplexes, all of which are above a 12% cap. rate and are all fully occupied. Despite this, I think my only options would be owner financing or hard money.
Has anyone had any luck with, or know of any hard money or bridge financing lenders that would lend based on a business plan rather then credit? I'm expecting to have to pay above market but everything I've seen requires 3% points a year.
Unfortunately I think your chances are between slim and none getting a bank to loan you money based on a business plan right now when the business is young and/or has no assets.
I think your time is better spent trying to find private money to procure assets going forward.
