Quote from @Dan Flannery:
I have came across a home with a 2.75% assumable VA loan in a great location. This Property will make for an excellent investment as a house hack then eventually a long term rental which I am pretty excited about considering the current housing market conditions. The only issue, is that I don't have enough capital to cover the difference between the asking price and the assumable loan amount. Has anyone found any way to get financing for something like this?
Thank You!
You can consider creative financing options to pay the equity such a Hard Money loan, (assuming the difference between the purchase price and the assumable loan value is a low balance)
You can also ask the seller to reduce the sales price (which might be counter productive for seller if they can capitalize on the edge they have given todays high rates)
You might be able to use seller financing for the difference in the purchase price and the assumable loan value (downside is that the seller might need the equity to pursue other investments) as mentions by @Christian Ehlers
You can also consider partnering with another Investor looking for the same kind of deal.
I myself is also ready to purchase my first multifamily house hack as I do not want to pay another year of rent and receive receipts, I would like to start building equity. However given today rates and even if the Fed lower rates by 0.5% max that would not be sufficient enough for me.
