Hi everyone,

I recently learned about an all-in-one mortgage and I was curious to see if other people have heard of it. Is anyone using this product? What do you like about it? What don't you like? It sounds like a great product especially for investors so I'm curious why I haven't heard more people talk about it. Thanks!


 Which lender is offering this?


 So far I have found this website below from CMG Home loans. I actually met with a lender who offers this product. 

https://www.allinoneloan.com/

This looks like a waste of time TBH - I just followed the link and did the simulator it’s basically a mortgage tied to an automatic ACH checking that puts additional funds towards principal to “save years” on the life of the loans. The rates are no more competitive than leading wholesale lenders. It’s a value add program for folks who are incapable of understanding if you just pay Bi-weekly mortgage payments on a regular loan you will cut 7+ years or more easily by just doing the right thing in the first place. Any servicer can accept bi-weekly payments already. I see no benefit to this product. I get the logistics of it, buts like telling someone to flip a cheeseburger on a grill using these new tongs instead of a standard grill spatula with no good reason. Unless I’m missing something?

Is it advantageous to cash out a refinanced loan and use that money to pay down the loan?

Quote from @Srini Murthy:

I am trying to close on my second Duplex in OH. I have an Ohio LLC which is pass through to my Wyoming LLC. This second duplex lender says they cannot close on my Ohio LLC with this structure. I did not have any problems when I brought a duplex last year.

Have the rules changed in the last year?


Doug is correct, but generally as long as you can prove ownership of the original wyoming LLC then it should be approved no problem.

Quote from @Troy Smith:

I have my rehab complete and my renter moved in to my first BRRRR. I'm excited to start the cash out refinance so I can get moving on my next property. Looking for some advice. Should I go through my current mortgage lender for the refinance or shop around? Also is there anything I can do to try to help with the appraisal process so it appraised for what I'm thinking it should?


Always worth shopping it out with different lenders and brokers. I recommend getting in touch with an experienced investment broker who can help you compare rates and terms with different banks. Happy to have a conversation, good luck!

Quote from @Trevor Neale:

What is the procedure of changing your investment property to a LLC to protect you ?

 @Chris Seveney Here we are again! - Trevor, there is a common misconception to this notion. I must have seen Chris answer this two dozen times over, and he does a real good job at it. That being said, if you wanted to change title for any reason you can try with a quit claim deed at your local attorney or title office. Just make sure the lender who holds the note doesn't have any rules around acceleration clauses in their loan covenants. Good luck!

Hello,

I am looking for hard money lenders recommendations in Illinois to fund future fix n flip or BRRRR projects. I tried to use find lenders option in bigger pockets but didn't able to get thru the lenders contact page as not able to receive the phone codes.

Havan


 Havan, lots of options available to you here. I just recommend that you get acquainted with an experienced investor focused broker who can help you isolate the nuances amongst the wide array of hard money lenders out there. Guidelines get confusing so setting the proper expectations is critical. Happy to have a conversation, good luck!

Quote from @Mark M.:

I own a 12 unit property in Ohio purchased in December that I'm looking at refinancing. Anyone have good lenders with low seasoning requirements (6 months)? 


 There are a ton of underlying questions that need to be addressed here.

- Are you looking to refinance for the purpose of cash out, or restabilizing the debt? What's the goal?

- Is the property 100% rented or has any vacancies?

- Are you trying to use a new appraised value or original purchase price?

You will have a lot of lenders and brokers tell you different things so these questions matter. Happy to dive deeper together if you want to chat. Good luck!

Post: Airbnb Income for DTI and DTI double counting

Quote from @Ezra Benjamin Harris:

I have a condo in Florida I use for Airbnb. It was down most of 2023 due to Hurricane Ian in 2022. I had a tax return loss of 21k including all expenses PITI+HOA in 2023. In 2024 I reported 30k profit after all expenses. YTD this year I had made 25k so far after all expenses.

Situation is this:

I applied for a HELOC on my primary home. They calculated the rental income as $1400/mo. But then they added the PITI+HOA to my DTI calculation (which was $3400 a month) causing the Airbnb to be a net negative of $2700 to my DTI (50% of rental income being $700, then them subtracting $3400)

Is this correct? I filled the Fannie Mae Rental worksheet using my 24' data and it had it as $6500 before PITI+HOA, $3200 after, I'm not sure how they came up with this. But it's affecting my ability to open the full line I was looking for. Anyone have advice on this?


Any traditional quasi govy lender will 100% use your reported income averaged over 12-24 months to qualify the income. They might even apply a vacancy factor of 25%. So that's why you're seeing a negative loss. Only way to qualify the true income would is to use a nonqm DSCR product. However, those are no owner occupied products. Meaning - you cannot live in it. If this is a true AIRBNB property then I would recommend looking into DSCR Heloan or cash out refi (depending what current first rate is) blended rate may be higher with a 2nd heloc. I'm in florida myself and see this situation all the time. Happy to chat and talk more! Good luck!

Quote from @Sean Spagnola:

Any cash out refinancing options that would not requiring seasoning?

From my own research this is unlikely. At best I've seen 6 month seasoning periods. 

I am targeting properties that have been on the MLS for longer than the average. Hopefully purchase for a discounted price. I'd mortgage them. Do a light rehab to increase ARV. Refinance and pull my down payment back out to start the next. Pretty much a classic BRRR.

I'm hoping not to have my down payments tied up for a 6 months to a year before I can repeat the process.

Any help and advice is truly appreciated.

 Sean, no seasoning cash outs definitely exist. You just gotta find the right lenders happy to chat if you have any questions.

Post: Has anyone had success getting a DSCR loan based on the as-is appraised value rather

Quote from @Emmanuel Duah:

I'm considering buying a rental-ready, off-market property. It'll likely appraise around $385K, but I may be able to purchase it for $270K–$300K. Since it doesn't need any work to rent, I'm exploring DSCR loan options and ideally looking for 80% LTV based on the appraised value, and not just the purchase price. So it'll function more like a BRRRR without needing a rehab.

Has anyone structured a deal like this successfully? Any lenders you'd recommend who do this? Would love to hear your experience or suggestions. 

Thanks ahead!


Emmanuel, there are two figures here. Loan-to-cost and loan-to-value. Your LTC is the purchase price of the collateral divided by the loan amount. the LTV is the value of the collateral divided by the debt outstanding. Your pricing and rate for all intents and purposes will be based off the later. If you are looking to take out the remaining equity, I would close with a no PPP purchase loan/bridge loan maybe and proceed with a no-seasoning delayed cash out refinance where you can then walk away with the excess liquidity in hand up to 75-80% of the true value. Happy to help you navigate this is if you have any questions. Best of luck!
