What are rules for cash out refinance for commercial properties?

I have 3 duplexes appraised for $197,500 combined, that were purchased for $111,000 in June 2016. How much seasoning is needed for a cash out refinance loan and what LTV is expected?  All have been rehabbed and are occupied.

Duplexes are not considered commercial...only 5+ units are. These are residential and terms depend on the bank and program. Usually a minimum of 6 months seasoning is needed.

    I would call around some smaller portfolio lenders on this one, usually at least 6 months seasoning, and they usually pick the lower of the appraisal or the purchase price to determine value. I say usually because it depends. If they're held in your personal name you may be able to refi them into an LLC but again, it all depends on your situation. Just start calling!

    Hello Eugene,

    In the unconventional lending world value seasoning in anywhere from none to 90 days. The LTV is generally based on credit score and cash flow of the property. The cash flow may support 75% LTV or less. This is determined by monthly rents/PITI.

    In this case, @Dante Pirouz is right.  These are just 2 unit properties that are easily financed with conventional financing after 6 months; I would add, if you qualify.

    It seems, running the numbers from your post, the loan amounts will be too small for investor/commercial financing like we offer (minimum loan amount 75K).

    Does anyone have any reccomendations for specific lenders who do commercial refinance? @Eugene Finley @Dante Pirouz @Account Closed

    I think we need a little more than "lenders who do commercial refinance"

    For what type of property? What's the loan size? Full doc or no income verification? DSCR? Do you have a cap rate?

    Matthew, throw a dog a bone here.:)  What are you looking for?
