Florida St Augustine lenders or investor/hard money needed

Hawthorne, CA · Member since 2014 · 1 post · 1 vote

Hello all, 

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm looking to buy an investment property in St Augustine. Probably a SFR or two.

I have a SFR rental home in Las Vegas, currently generating $250 a month in income after expenses..... I also have roughly $85000 in equity.

I'm not sure if I would qualify for a conventional loan at this point.... I'm holding some high personal debt (25k) which has lowered my credit score dramatically, I could pay most of, but then I'd have no cash left.  Original plan was to pay off the debt, then refi my current property..... I am at 5.5% interest rate and was told I could take out $30k and my payment would remain the same.  But while in St Augustine last week I've found a great deal on a budget priced home that is an easy fix and great rental rate. So I'm thinking someone creative might be able to help me. 

I have a job ($800 per week), a credit score of roughly 660-700 depending on your source, no later payments....16k in cash. 

Thank you!

    I'm near the St. Augustine area. It's a hard market, but I'm sure there are deals. 

    Your profile says you're in Hawthorne, CA. This would be an out of state investment? 

    I can help by driving by to see what properties look like for ya. I guess I could bird dog for you for a fee payable on if you close. 

    What kinds of deals are you looking for? Wholesale, fix and flip, buy and hold? There may be others here that have some deals ready to go.

    @Danielle D.

    Welcome to the site.

    I would check with some lenders for a pre approval. 25k in revolving debt doies not seem that high to me.
