Refinance - Cash Out 6 month seasoning

Refinance - Cash Out 6 month seasoning

Member since 2023 · 3 posts · 3 votes

Hi everyone! 

We completed our first BRRR (or almost) and we are at the cash out stage. Guidelines for conventional read we can only pull out our initial investment on the purchase price (not the rehab)... we want to get our funds on the rehab and purchase back to do it again... how do you get around the 6 month seasoning of pulling more then the initial investment out?

Facts: 

Initial purchase price $45k 

Rehab $50k 

After Repair Value $125k 

Purchase 7/18/2023

Trying to pull out 75% of our After Repair Value to BRRR again now. Let us know thoughts!

 Hi Becky,

Most BRRRR investors will utilize a different lending strategy/program than going conventional since the Title seasoning requirements for conventional are so long. Most of our BRRRR clients that are wanting to refinance out of their HMLs are utilizing the DSCR program for their BRRRR projects as they can get a 75% LTV cash out refinance based on the new appraised value of the property with only 90 days seasoning. If you bought the property in July, you're already past this benchmark. This strategy helps you get your cash back quickly in order to move on to your next BRRRR project.

    Hi Becky, I only have a two-month seasoning period on my DSCR loans up to 80% CLTV. Please let me know if you are interested in learning more.

     Hey Becky, 

    As long as you have documented rehab work over $10k, you may refinance based on the new appraised value with no seasoning requirement.

    You should be able to refinance at the new ARV with documented repairs using a DSCR cash out refi. 90 days - 6 months is the norm

    @Becky Frempter, there are lenders who have a 0 seasoning period with a DSCR loan if you have significant documented improvements with receipts spent on work done and before and after photos. The lenders will lend on the new appraisal amount. Other lenders require a 3 month seasoning period if significant rehab work was done to use the new appraisal value for the cash out LTV. In contrast, conventional loans will require a longer seasoning period- usually six months.

    DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

    DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

    Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:

    1. Credit score- the higher the best. 760+ generally gets best pricing for investment property loans with most lenders

    2. Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit. So your pricing will be higher for a 80% LTV loan than for a 60% LTV loan.

    3. Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms. The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.

    4. Are you cash flowing the property? More on how that is calculated below. Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable). Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit. This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

    I've included an example below to help illustrate this.

    So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.

    See example below:

    DSCR < 1

    Principal + Interest = $1,700

    Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50

    Total PITIA = $2200

    Rent = $2000

    DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91

    Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.

    DSCR >1

    Principal + Interest = $1,500

    Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25

    Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300

    DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23

    DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC. It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.
