Good day, I have a rental property in South Florida and I'm thinking about adding some square footage (additional bedroom and bathroom). My plan is to used some of the equity in that property to do this expansion, I got a rough estimate of the interest rate at 11.25%, is this normal and if not I would love to be connected to a bank/ broker that does HELOCs on investments at a lower rate.
Shak :)
Sounds about right. You have to factor in that this is a HELOC for an investment property.. The rate will be very high on this as standard. If the fees are not absurdly high, this is not bad.
It is very difficult to find lenders that will do a HELOC on an investment property.
Are these HELOC based on asset value or tied to salary income?
Depends on the bank, but usually it’s a full doc loan

I am having trouble locating a fix-and-flip loan on a house we plan to flip and then refinance and turn into a group home for adults with disabilities. It is located in Laytonville (Mendocino County) and has 32.5 acres. Anyone?
Is the value mostly from the land? It's possible but expect 65-70% LTV max on the purchase and depending on the ARV value, you might be able to finance 100% of the rehab costs

Hey Ed,
Most lenders can do up to 90% of the initial purchase price and 100% of the rehab cost with experience and credit. Lenders generally want to see 5 exits completed to qualify for these aggressive terms. A few can do higher leverage with lower experience (1-2) however you will need to have a high FICO (usually 740 or better) and it will need to be a light rehab.
On a Ground-up loan, lenders generally want to see more skin in the game. Expect 25-30% down with reserves for construction costs. Additionally most lenders want to see similar construction experience. There are some ways around this if you have flipping experience with similar budgets.
Lenders charge anywhere from 1-4pts on these types of loans. The points will depend on your deal size and experience level. You will usually get better terms with more experience. Think of it as dating. Yes you'll have the few that will promise you good terms but then leave you hanging once you go to dinner. You generally want to optimize your experience and credit to get favorable financing.

DSCR (long term and short term) is available for a Manufactured home.
What are your terms?
Most lenders generally cap the LTV to 70% on Manufactured Homes. Most loans are 30 year fixed and rates can be anywhere from 6.25-8% depending on LTV, PPP, Location, and credit.

Quote from @Jake Yuskaitis:
Agreed.
Although, locking a loan is not that common in private money.
Any lender asking for a deposit is trying to scam the client apart from a large commercial loan.
Private money is a bit of a grey area. Some lenders follow a traditional method, and could lock in your rate on a long term loan, however there are many that will honor terms based on the actual factual data gathered.
I see this common, especially in hard money loans where borrowers overestimate ARV values and their budget is very low for the amount of work required to fully rehab the place. Then when a borrower receives a lower appraisal or virtual opinion of value, they are surprised the loan terms have changed. This rarely happens with experienced flippers. I see this happen with first timers.

Hey BP!
I have been seeing a lot of fall out deals lately. Most of which are due to the following horrible practices lenders will do to get a loan in..
1. Not locking in any terms and hitting you with a much different rate and fees at closing.
2. Saying they can do a loan they are 50/50 about...
3. Failing to meet critical contingency deadlines
4. Floating the rate to collect a higher spread at closing
5. Dragging the process for 45 days+ and saying "they are close to closing"
6. Collecting a deposit and not being able to refund you if the loan terms changed significantly...
Be careful with who you end up working with. There are a lot of desperate lenders out there that will tell you anything to get a deal in, and go ghost when it does not work out..
