ISO loan for my first SFR "house-hack" rental

Hi,

I am in search of a loan for buying my first 3/2 SFR "house hack" rental in a growing NE dallas. It's a growing area, and the few houses i've been looking at are in the 90k-100k price range.

I'll bring a 15-20% down payment, possibly more. 
>1.25 DSCR, with 6mo of reserves on hand.
i'll fund the repairs myself, only buying structurally sound properties in C+/B- neighborhoods. 
Ive been in dallas for 7 years now, and I know where the better spots of the east dallas neighborhoods are. I'll be living there myself, and renting out to tenants i know first or second hand, so it will certainly not be in a war zone! haha. 

i'm looking for:
15-30 yr loan, with a competitive interest rate
no prepayment penalties 

ideally i'll  be able to refinance out of it in 2-3 years after claiming the boarder income on my tax returns. The loan can be to me or to my S Corp. 

proof of funds upon request. 

let me know what you have! or if you know of anybody trying to liquidate their portfolios in DFW.

all the best, 

dan

    Hi @Daniel Porter given the fact that you intend to "house hack" one option might be to pursue an FHA 203k loan. Here are the loan requirements:

    • Your credit score must be at least 620 or 640, depending on the lender
    • Your maximum debt-to-income ratio can only be 41% to 45%
    • You need a down payment (or home equity if you are refinancing) of 3.5% or more
    • The loan amount (including both the purchase and renovation costs) must be lower than the maximum loan limit for your area
    • You must be an owner-occupant of the property you intend to renovate

    Just a suggestion.

    Hi Daniel,

    I am a loan officer licensed in Texas with Carrington Mortgage Services. We are a nation-wide lender and mortgage servicer and we have a "Near Prime" program specifically for investment properties, but it seems like you would also qualify for more traditional financing so I think you have a lot of different options. Send me an email and I can get you pre-qualified as soon as tonight if you're interested.

    If you'd like more information feel free to pm me or email me at [email protected]

    Thanks,

    Kyle Johnston
