Looking for Financing Options

Looking for Financing Options

I am interested in this property that is worth about 250K. I currently have 2 investment properties at the moment. I need about 50k for down-payment. I am able to get a conventional loan once the down payment is covered by the banks.

Here is my situation below:

1. I am able to use heloc, but that banks are only able to lend me around 15K. So this option is not viable since the payment and closing costs are not enough to assist me with the downpayment.

2. Using hard money lenders, but they are charging high rates around 10-15%.

3. I am also able to put about 10/15k down but will need to cover about the remaining 35k with a loan.

This property I am looking to buy is going to be a long-term rental. I have excellent credit (745) and can provide w2 and all the required documentation. Private money is an option too, but my father is having his HELOC renewal so that is not viable now.

I want to see what options you offer. If you are able to do liens on a property, provide downpayment terms better than private lenders, etc. I will go for a conventional loan once I get money for a downpayment.

I can speak over the phone about this as well.  Looking forward to hearing potential suggestions. I am located in Virginia.

    @Paras Gupta When I shopped last month for an Investment Loan, I came to know from the lender that: To get the conventional Loan on Investment Property (freddie mac/fannie mae), require 2% of the aggregate UPB if the borrower has one to four financed properties.

    So you need more than $50k to get the Conventional Loan on that property. If your numbers work, go with hard money lenders and  get it Refinanced after a year. If not, try to get a partner who can make the down payment on it.

    @Paras Gupta if you can't use the equity in one of your rentals to finance the new acquisition, or find a partner, another option is an asset based lender like Lending One, Lima One or several others. There are many that specialize in lending to non-owner occupied investors on buy & holds or flips. 

    I've never used them, but their rates are better than hard money lenders. I think they have similar down payment requirements as similar lenders, but perhaps they could assist in a unique way if you can provide something of a down payment, some conventional, etc.
