Quote from @Jacob Bremer:

Hello all,

Two years ago I purchased a SFH for 210K. Renovated for 35K. Have it rented out for 1900/mo since then. My monthly payment is $1550/mo. We have about 5K in reserves. My current interest rate is 7.4.


There is another home that would be nearly an identical rinse and repeat in the neighborhood. I would purchase for around 220k. From my lender estimates, they would give me roughly 6.5 on the refi but taking another 70K for DP and reno for the 2nd home would put my monthly at around 1800/mo. 

If these numbers are accurate, would pursuing it be too aggressive given the small delta between the new potential monthly payment and current rent? 


What's the ARV of the new home and will you be financing the purchase and renovations?

Quote from @Sandra May:

is anyone willing to share their go-to banks/lenders in this area? My first and third door are here, looking to get a HELOC on one to do some value-ads to the other :)


 Have you tried Figure? I have heard they have some very aggressive programs 


Figure has some of the highest rates in the HELOC market. They only allow a 3 year draw. Honestly, Figure is a very convenient option for people who need funds in 96 hours or less, but there are quite a few HELOC options that are 1-2% lower rate with 5-10 year draw periods out there. Just depends on the client goals, but I am not sure I would consider anything Figure does as aggressive relative to the rest of the market.


 Good to hear a solid opinion. I only heard of them since a lot of my clients use them for HELOCs. I don't originate any HELOCs, so I would not have a clue what they offer.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier:

Why is the lender allowing this to take place? They clearly do not value their broker relationships.


 There are alot of lenders that do this... CV3, Kiavi, Visio, Easy Street, just to name a few. They follow a whoever gets them in first model. 

It's the wholesale only lenders that typically do not allow this.

Quote from @Taran Sergiu:

@Erik Estrada I am specifically looking for a lender who would be willing to work with a new flipper, if you guys have any suggestions of lenders who would be open to doing that?


 There are several that can! Just anticipate 15-20% down if you are going at it without any partners with experience

I think this has happened to a lot of us.. I am curious to know how most Brokers handle this? Is it a total loss? Do you create a broker-agreement before you work with a client?
