Quote from @John Mocker:

Argi,

Yes, there are now dozens of "Private Market" flood programs.  Most are using their own algorithms to calculate the rate for a specific property.  Many can quote with just the address and a few other items.  I routinely runs quotes with most of the markets because there are often large differences between programs rates and which will be most competitive differs from property to property.  If your agent can not access all these markets PM me and I will get you some recommendations on who can.

Hi John, thanks for the reply. I will send you a private message now.

I have a rental property in flood zone. I am refinancing and the lender requires flood insurance. My insurance agent told me it would cost $3,000-3,500 per year to insure this through NFIP/FEMA. Are there any alternatives to this? The property is in St Louis, MO and not in an area that is very high flood risk area compared to other areas.

Thanks in advance.

@Argi Avetisyan as mentioned above the loan amount will be a big challenge for you.  Lean on some other real estate investors in your area (or the area of the property).  Try posting in that state forum. Bigger Pockets has some great state forums and usually there are good locals that monitor those. Also, try some local real estate meetup groups. Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too. Even facebook might have some good local groups for you. But post locally for this. That’s the best bet.

Thanks for the suggestion, Andrew!

I would consider a HELOC loan from a bank. If you don't qualify for that, then I would go with some type of private money financing. Your challenge will be the loan amount. If the value on the house is only $55K most lenders won't touch it. So, shop around a little.

 Thanks, Roi! 

Hey guys! I own a rental that I bought all-cash, worth about $55k that's currently rented. I would like to pull as much cash out as possible to put into a different project. The property is owned by my LLC. How would you recommend pulling cash out? Thank you..

Hey guys! I am trying to buy an 8-unit multifamily property. The seller has agreed to the owner finance/carry 40% of the purchase price (second position). Ideally, I would put 5-10% down and then get the remaining 50-55% from a lender/bank. The property would cash flow decently even with such a low down payment and conservative rental comps. The PP is $295,000. So far I have only purchased single-family properties so I am not exactly sure how to find financing for commercial. Any tips on how to find lenders who would allow the seller to carry a portion of the PP? I would still have some skin in the game in terms of down payment but not as much as 25-35%.

Ask him if he will do 100% Seller Finance OR try to raise the remaining 200k if you think it is a killer deal. 

The whole no-money-down at all whatsoever is becoming a rarity. 

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have found an 11 unit portfolio in Ohio and the seller is offering to finance 50% of the purchase price (total price is around 400k). I am wondering if any lender would be willing to finance the other 50% of the purchase price. 10 out of 11 units are rented and cash flowing very well! The numbers are really attractive even with both loans. Please let me know how you think I should proceed. Thanks!

Hey @Brandon Johnson, great job on getting to 33+ properties. What lender do you use in your area that allows seller-financed 2nd position? Thanks!
