Quote from @David Edwards:
As of today (3/28/23) I have city approved and stamped plans with all permits paid but my financing has fallen apart, tryign to get this going
While I have history with rehab projects as well as buy and hold room rental properties generating very high cash flows I do not have new build experience.
I have a general contractor with nearly 20 years of build experience, for both himself and clients, he's worked with me on the project and was going to be on the loan with me but recently due to concerns about tax and legal implications ahs decided he can't be on the loan, I don't hold this against him.
How can I go about getting this funded?
More project details:
Land owned outright via a cash purchase ($76k purchase 9 months ago)
5200 sq foot duplex with a $650k build cost estimate
Shovel ready plans
Each side is 6 primary bedrooms with their own baths and 2 more bedrooms sharing a bath, this makes it a 16 bed 14 bath duplex.
Valuation estimate of $850k - $950k.
I will have about $100k in cash on hand after the sale of another property and another $100k I can tap into if required. this is ideally to fund project work refunded with draws.
Build time estimate 4 month, but lets assume 8 months to set expectations.
I would appreciate any advice or connections.
Thank you,

From the brief scenario above we would be able to fund this transaction. We may need to show the experience of your GC even though they are not being included on the loan. Also your history will help as well. How many transactions have you completed within the past two years?
What are your questions?

Hello
I would like to check if it is good strategy to borrow 70% of offer price form hard money (30%: I have cash) so I can offer like 100% cash offer. Once it is closed, I will refinance with 30yr mortgage. Is my understanding ok? Any pros/cons? Obviously, I need to refinancing and will need to go through the same process again but I think this will give more chance to win the multiple offers. Appreciate any feedback.
It depends on your exit strategy as the buyer. Also will the property require rehabilitation as well? We operate as a direct lender so each suit is tailored different. What are your exit strategy thoughts?

Quote from @Nathan Frost:
Hi, my banker said - We are needing a minimum extra $20k in cash flow in order for this to debt service at 1.25x, which is the industry standard lowest it can be to approve loans, your's now is .98x. Is it possible to do the loan under my LLC? I have two rentals under my LLC but can't do the cash out under my name cause of the debt service. Any solutions?
It may be possible depending upon the overall scenario as a direct lender each loan is unique. What amount are you looking to receive and what will be the LTV?

Good Morning. I have a client that is looking for a commercial lender for a $400,000 apartment building (6 unit). We are looking at options for them for financing. It appears most of the traditional local banks here have $1M minimum requirements for borrowing.
Has anyone used a rockstar lender lately they would like to suggest? Would a DSCR loan here make sense? Borrower has 15-25% down and 800 credit score. Maybe an SBA504 but I don't think they can be used for rental properties?
We as lender prefer DSCR loans because they provide a level of assurance that the property can generate sufficient income to pay the mortgage. This reduces the risk of default and foreclosure for the lender.
However, DSCR loans may have higher interest rates and stricter lending criteria than traditional commercial loans.
Overall, if you're looking to purchase or refinance a commercial property and can show strong cash flow, a DSCR loan may be a good option to consider. Don't hesitate to ask other questions.

Hey all,
I'm looking for some advice on which type of lender to use and then looking for referrals for that type of lender in the Columbus area. Some background:
I own a few properties in Columbus and Dayton, OH (a mix of SFR and small MFRs) all of which are financed using traditional Fannie/Freddie lenders. I'm getting close to my 10 loan limit and would also like to work with someone who is more investor friendly and hopefully is less hassle and still has good rates. I currently have a duplex that I'm BRRR-ing and looking to refi in a couple of months. I also want to buy another 20+ units this year, ideally as one building, but it may be split over a couple depending on the deal. I'm looking to cash-out-refi on these too expecting to only get 70% LTV (although if I could get 75% LTV that'd be great). All my properties are cash flow positive and my FICO fluctuates between the high 700s and low 800s.
I'd like to find a lender who can facilitate all my new properties. So my question is, when considering these types of lenders, Commercial, Portfolio, DSCR, or Private which type of lender would be best suited for scaling my portfolio?
Cheers,
Justin
- Commercial Lenders: Commercial lenders are traditional lenders such as banks and credit unions that offer loans for commercial real estate investments. They typically offer lower interest rates and longer repayment terms than other types of lenders, but they may have stricter lending requirements and longer application processes.
- Portfolio Lenders: Portfolio lenders are lenders who keep the loans they make on their own books instead of selling them to investors or secondary markets. This can give them more flexibility when it comes to loan terms and underwriting criteria, which can be beneficial for investors looking to scale their portfolios quickly.
- DSCR Lenders: As mentioned earlier, DSCR lenders focus on the cash flow of the property rather than the borrower's creditworthiness. This can be helpful for investors who have strong cash flow from their properties but may not have a strong credit profile.
- Private Lenders: Private lenders are individuals or groups who provide financing for real estate investments. They can offer faster funding and more flexible terms than traditional lenders, but they typically charge higher interest rates.
Overall, the best lender for scaling your portfolio will depend on your specific investment goals and financial situation.
Quote from @Kevin Murphy:
I own a duplex in Portsmouth, VA. Both units are rented. I am open to DSCR, ARM or other terms that keep the APR low (relatively). I have owned it over a year and it's in my LLC. I would like to keep it that way and avoid a ding from a credit pull but I am flexible.
We can fund an approved transaction within 5 to 7 business days. We are a direct lender. Are you looking to also receive cash back or are just looking to receive more permanent financing? Please message me with more information regarding your scenario.

Hi Folks,
Hope to hear advice on possibly doing a cash out refi on one of our rentals here in Texas. Looking to pull out funds to pay off the last of my daughter's tuition. Anyone have any information on the following?
--Are 75% LTV loans possible right now?
--What sort of reserve requirements are out there?
--Rates and points at the present time?
--How long to close?
If you have any info on what things are looking like out there, especially with these sorts of questions, please let me know. If you're a broker, please DM me.
Alfred
1. Yes, 75% LTV is available possible up to 80% depending upon experience.
2. We may use your cash out proceeds as reserves so no reserves are needed for DSCR loans.
3. Rates and points depend largely on LTV, credit score and whether you're cash flowing.
4. Loans are closing anywhere from 5 to 7 business days depending on the appraisal.
We are a direct lender so if we tell you yes, then it is yes. Please reach out if you are looking to approach the next stage.
