Hi Kristine, yes the high interest rate is what I don't like at all about this. and the fact that is not at locked rate, but as you said in this case it supposed to come down anyways. thanks

I have 2 investment properties that are doing really well and give me some cash flow (on top of paying both mortgages). Before thinking of going for the 3rd one, which would be great if it goes as well as these two, I need to fix my own house (personal) . Long overdue little things and not so little things. I am exploring the possibility of not only fixing things but doing a renovation to bring an old half bath into a fully functional bath, renovate the entrance and foyer among other things and possibly even an addition to the house. Somewhere around $100k to $150k ballpark expense. Besides making our house prettier and more comfortable, something we can enjoy while we are here after the renovation, all these things will certainly add a lot of value to the house. We estimate 3 to 4 times the amount of the loan by the time we plan to sell the house in about 5 to 6 years. I still owe about $238k on the house (I am paying around $2k per month including escrow) and the bank says it appraise for $850-900k so plenty of equity to borrow. After doing a quick search..I get numbers around 9 to 10% interest for these HELOC loans that I found insane. Any ideas or recommendations as to where to go for financing this kind of project.

Regards,

Agustin

HI Caitlin, (and everyone else) I apologize for not getting back at you guys. 
I am off the market right now, specially for STR. I will be able to start looking for a new rental property towards the end of 2024.

Thanks so much for reaching out.

Wishing you all the best, peace.

@Nick Belsky

Thanks, but what is YSP and can you explain this: "I priced out a DSCR deal with a 1.12 DSCR at 80LTV yesterday at 7.6% at par"

Also, were can I find these type of brokers and deals?

Hi, I do have 2 rental units doing well in dif. states (I am from Florida) and I am looking to buy a Single Family Home for LTR in the Greenville Area of SC. I know these are not the best times for getting good financing deals and interest rates but I am ready to to move on and planning to refinance as soon as things get better. I have a credit score of 815-825, I am currently pre-approved for a 30-year fixed loan with 20% down payment at the following rates: (with an online bank) 

8.125% Rate
8.708% APR

Plus! 3.4 points ($7,648) These numbers are crazy specially compared with 2 years ago when I got the 2 properties I have under 3% each.

IF the numbers allow for self support and or minimal cash flow I want to go for it and refinance later BUT the question is:

Is there realistically anything better than this out there? as of now (AUG 23) if not, when is the expectation for these numbers to get better?

Thanks a lot!


Can you clarify the difference between the rate and APR structure? shouldn't these be the same? I think if that is truly your credit then you can probably find some better options here on BP

Without the particular details of this loan offer, I understand that the the basic/standard difference between rate and APR is that the APR in the rate + all costs/fees for the loan including points you pay to get that rate.

Ricardo and Ray, thanks so much for your invaluable insight. I never said that month to month is more work, only less "peace of mind or thinking". I discarded the consideration of a multi year lease for the many reasons stated above by you guys and many others, however I have decided to do a 1 year lease for many reasons. PM's do this day in day out? I don't know what you mean, but I don't do this for a living. thanks for the post

Agustin, there are definitely better options out there for you, especially in the world of a DSCR one thing. I would recommend that you find an experienced debt service coverage ratio/investor broker to help you shop a myriad of different programs across the country. 3.4 points is also a lot I do not believe even the best of brokers that should be charging 3.4 points if they want to maintain mutually beneficial arrangements amongst them and their clients. Find someone who is going to save you some dollars on the back end as well.
Hi David, I am not familiar not know anything about DSCR or how to find someone who is going to save me some dollars on the back end. Any tips?  thanks for your post!
