Hard Money Lender for a property that I Rent

Hard Money Lender for a property that I Rent

Carlisle, PA · Member since 2019 · 7 posts · 0 votes

I have lived in the property that my landlord wants to sell right now.  I have done my research on the property and there is cash flow coming out the property.  

The property is generating $2,050.00 per month.  The monthly cost for insurance, school taxes, county and borough, water, mortgage. payment I would be looking at about 1500.00 per month.  

I have other cash flow coming in from my own business to support the property.  

My landlord wants to unload the property for 155K.  My bank wants 37.5K down or 25% down.   I do not have the down payment.  

Is there anyway that I can creatively make this deal happen?

@Gary Grant why do you think you need a hard money lender for this scenario? If you have decent credit and will continue living there for another 12 months it sounds like you can get an FHA loan on the property. If it needs work you can get a 203k loan- both are 3.5% down for up to 4 unit properties.

    @Gary Grant Are you currently living in the property?  Is it a single family home or a multifamily?  How many units?

    Banks want 25% down for residential (1-4 units) non-owner occupied investment property.  

    Depending on your income, credit, outstanding loans you may be able to put down as little as 5% only if you plan on living in one of the units.  Talk to different banks and mortgage brokers because there are various mortgage programs.

    @Gary Grant have the seller carry some of the downpayment.

    Bank loans 75%, seller finances 15%, you pay 10% down in cash.

    The trick is finding a lender to allow it, and make it worth while for the seller

    Another option, if it makes sense to update it and do some work on ot you could purchase with higher leverage flip loan. Once repaired refi out, if there is enough equity you can refi no money out of pocket.

    Ryan,  thank you for your advice.  The property does not need any work.  It is in very good condition.  My credit is very good.

    @Gary Grant

    conventional loans is the best option if you do plan to remain in one of the units for the next 12 months. As other shares above, that is excellent guidance.

    I wishes you the best!

    @Gary Grant Please try republic bank. Sometimes they would approve commercial loan with 15% downpayment. You would need approx $23,000.

    @Gary Grant if you are planning to live on the property, all you need is 5% down on conventional loan or 3.5% down on FHA.

    @Gary Grant  You should be able to find a loan with a lower downpayment than what you've been told since you are living there.  I would ask around.
