Post: looking to buy an investment property- fix an flip or a rental property (Little Rock)

@Staphon Smith,

Great area to invest, I have a few clients that do some good work down there, and being from AR originally myself, it is a good area to look into.

You definitely want to keep an eye on areas where the comps are going to provide a healthy cash flow. Are you wanting to do any fixing (through BRRRR) or just strictly buy and hold? If you do buy and hold, keep an eye on minimum loan amounts because I know that there are some cheaper properties that might keep some lenders from wanting to lend in that area.

Good luck! Happy to help where I can.

Post: Looking for lender that does DSCR Cash Out immediately

Quote from @Ashley Ernst:

We're under contract on a SFH in Indianapolis and are paying all cash. Looking for lenders that do cash out refis immediately or 90 days max. Goal is to pull as much of my cash out as possible, so looking for a higher LTV ratio if possible. Found one lender that will do it for 75% LTV immediately, but wondering if there are better options out there. Any and all recommendations welcome. This is our first time buying all cash. Thanks!


Hey Ashley,

Some great recommendations already for sure. If you went with the 'delayed financing' then you could recoup even more than 75% of the initial purchase price along with some rehab funds if that is something you are looking to do with the property.

If you go cash on both the purchase and the rehab, then you could go with a refinance either on the unseasoned cost. Or if you keep track of the rehab you do, then I know of one lender doing ARV-based refinances before 90 days. As well, there is another group doing it at 90 if you wanted to wait that long.

You could also "double dip" in the sense of a delayed purchase/rehab to recoup funds, get rehab reimbursed, and then refinance at 90 days at the new ARV and maintain most of your liquidity throughout. Going this route does incur additional closing costs, but you would maintain most of your funds throughout the process.

Sent you a DM, would love to see if I could help.

Good luck!

Quote from @Marisa Voelkel:

Looking for some advice. I have a property that we originally bought to flip in Southern WI (close to IL border). The ARV is roughly 180K+. Investment is budgeted for roughly 120K. 1) If we flipped, likely will get 50K in our pockets after closing costs. 2) If we hold, according to the BRRRR calculator, the CoC ROI is 16.8%/Inf%. After the refi of 125K, there would still be about 20K in equity to tap, plus about a $650/mo +CF. 3) Another option is to hold, refi at max equity, which drops +CF to about $250/mo, but puts more liquid cash in the bank.

Note: I am the GC and the Realtor so fees are already reduced.  House will be ready in March for any of the options.  We have flipped several houses already and own one rental at this time. 

Which would you do and why?  Is there an advantage to maxing out the refi and pulling as opposed to leaving the equity in and tapping it over and over?  With the numbers, all options are good options, just looking for feedback on why you might choose one over the other.  Thanks!


 Hey Marisa,

I think it depends on what you see as your next steps. I always recommend to my clients keeping if possible because passive cash flow is never a bad thing and you can leverage equity down the road if you need a little extra. But once its sold, its certainly not making you any more money.

You'll get a more favorable rate by doing a reduced leverage refinance, but almost every lender will put some kind of a prepayment penalty on there (usually ranging 3-5 years), so you won't be able to really "pull" from the equity consistently without incurring some financial implications, so it really does depend on what you are looking to do next. If you just want a little bit to help purchase the 'next one', then reduced leverage, increased cash flow monthly, and repeat until here in a few years you can refinance a few into something bigger.

Good luck! Happy to help where I can.

If you want to make a cash offer to win a deal, you could do delayed financing - it's similar to a cash out refi, but it's based on the purchase price and loan costs, not appraised value. So you could turn around and pull out 75% right after closing, leaving 25% equity in the property. 


Wanted to second this, the clients I have clients who leverage the benefit of 'cash closings' (speed and offer acceptance) but don't want to tie up their capital to wait on seasoning periods of most long term lenders (6 months or more). It does require two closings but definitely helps on the acquisition side of things.

Make sure to be up front with any lender that you work with that it is the intended goal, as some lenders do not allow delayed financing.

Good luck! Happy to help where I can.

Hey @Rick Albert

Hoping you found an answer to your inquiry, not every lender will do that so its VERY good to be up front. 

I would also confirm if there is a rate adder to do it that way or any additional cost in processing fees, etc. Would be good to confirm ahead of time.

Good luck!

I'm looking for DSCR lenders in the Tulsa area, any recommendations? Also does not owning a primary result in rejection.

Much appreciated, thank you. 


Hey Michael,

Hope you found an answer on this, but shouldn't need to own to utilize find DSCR.

I know that you can run into some title stuff in OK in general though. My experience with my clients there is that any kind of purchase you do they run FULL title everytime, which can certainly uncover a few things and delay the process. Have you purchased in OK before or is this the first?

Any lender offering cash out refi using DSCR loan without seasoning period. The rental property is in MD.


 Hey Ola,

There are a few, and honestly they are pretty competitive as long as you can show that you did some rehab to the property to improve the value. 

Did you purchase it with a 'fix and flip' or rehab loan that you are looking to refinance out of? Or did you just buy it in cash and are wanting a refinance?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any suggestions for experienced lenders in Cleveland, that work with foreign investors?

Also, wondering if it makes sense to look for companies offering loans under 75K of property equity, or is it typically better to consider private lenders?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Hey David,

There are certainly a few, and Cleveland is a great area right now. I have a few clients doing pretty well up there.

There are a handful of DSCR lenders that will do loans of under 75k, but if you have a few of them and they are close, it might not hurt to look into some smaller portfolio lenders as well if it comes down to it..

As long as it cash flows, you generally will have a good argument with a lot of different groups. There are also some different classifications of 'foreign investors' so I would clarify with whatever group you look at how they would distinguish that on their end as their interpretation guidelines might even differ from lender to lender.

Good luck, happy to help where I can.


 Thank you, Aj!

Do you have maybe any recommendations for lenders that will do loans under 75K, or smaller portfolio lenders? 

Happy to, just sent a DM
