Refinance in Baltimore

Refinance in Baltimore

So my project is very near completion and I'm looking to get out of this Hard Money Loan.  Financed it with Lima One Captial - NO problem, Rehab work - NO problem, Refinance - PROBLEM.  Tried Caiber...No reply and it's been 10 days since I applied, tried NFCU...waiting on a callback, Tried Quicken Loans and here is what they said:

"There are two guidelines we have to adhere to on conventional loans... they are called Safe Harbor and High cost. We are not able to adhere to either of these guidelines with this loan for a few reasons - the fact that this is an investment property, the fact that we are over 70% loan-to-value, and the fact that the credit score reporting is 6 digits under 700.  These things combined make the loan too expensive to legally refinance. The other thing we run into is with the debt ratio - the amount of income vs. the debts including the mortgages is too high at the moment."

The LTV is actually below 70% as I didn't use all of the rehab funds.

Does anyone know of a loan program that would fit my needs?

    @Account Closed - Did you ask Lima One if they will do the take out loan?  If they said NO, then what were their reasons?

    @Account Closed how was working with Lima one? I am literally about to close on a house with them in 5 days. Why don't you refi into a commercial loan? There are plenty of banks that will underwrite a commercial loan for a 2-4 fam house if that's what you have. Albeit, you will have a higher rate but rates have come down recently.. maybe pay like 1-.75bp higher. And is your LTV over 70% or under 70% i think you wrote 2 different answers.

    Not sure who Stephanie is but she sent Tom Potter my way and he is willing to give an asset base finance at about 6-7 percent. Lima one was also willing to switch me over with the same terms but we didn't finish discussing all the details as I took the refi with Caliber instead at 5.5% with Freddie but I had to include my wife. I'll do a quitclaim deed and put it back in my LLC.

    @Michael Doherty I Love Lima one!!  They gave me a chance when others wouldn't.  Closed when they were supposed to close, rehab draws were no problem but that extra $200 for each draw was a surprise.  It's in my loan package but I just missed it.
