I have clients that come to me all the time seeking to pull cash out on their primary residents because they can't qualify for conventional financing. They get really pissed off when they find out it's illegal to do it any other way except with conventional financing. It's frustrating to not be able to access the equity in your property when your in a tough financial situation.

You have two options, a stated income loan or a loan based off the properties Debt Service. They are basically the same type of loan, the stated income loan will require a 700 fico score, source and seasoning of closing funds, 25% down. Most stated programs only offer 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 Arms. The other loan is based off of the properties cash flow and the lenders Debt Service requirement, 620 fico score requirement and 25% down with 30 yr fixed terms available.

You can obtain a blanket loan to cover all four properties and it would be considered a commercial loan. Your down payment would be 25% of the total purchase price plus closing cost. We do these types of loans all the time.

Hi Tatiana,
I am on the financing side of the business, 70% ARV is the max we are financing so you don't want to exceed that as a rule. We see a lot of deals in Houston and surrounding areas at 65 to 70% ARV. You may want to connect with a realtor who works with investment properties, they can find good deals and run CMA's.

With banks it will be determined by your income,10 is the max under your personal name. Alternative Investor loans/business prupose loans have no limit and are not based on income, they are based off of the property cash flow or stated income loans. Both investor products can be purchased under LLC's as well.
