@Anatole Doak

You can cash out refinance prior to 6 months with delayed financing if you paid cash for the property. 

If you used a hard money lender you could do a rate and term refinance without any seasoning period as well. 

There are some limitations with delayed financing. 

  • The new loan amount can not be more than the actual documented amount of the borrower's initial investment in purchasing the property, plus the financing of closing costs, prepaid fees, and points (subject to the maximum LTV as well).

@Yia Vang

I would recommend looking educating yourself on both options and then deciding what works best for you to start out.

With Conventional financing you can obtain long term financing out 30 years. Typically, with commercial financing, it is amortized over 20 -30 years, but then has a balloon payment due in 5 -10 years. So you will either be refinancing or having to pay the balloon. I am glad to send you info on residential financing.

@Anant Radadia

I am glad to answer any questions on financing that you have. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is one of the first steps after you figure out what route of investing you want to go. (A property that needs renovation, or one in livable condition) It looks like you have some great local resources that have also responded as well.

@Shannon Threlkeld

You only need a 2 year history for Freddie Macs guideline, not Fannie Mae’s.

If your current lender can’t follow Fannie Maes guidelines directly than it will be an overlay of your lender to follow the strictor of the 2 sets of conventional guidelines.

You will be able to use tax returns if you have owned them long enough. If not, lease agreements will be used at 75%.

@Louis Grigoletti

Sorry for the confusing response!

Gift funds are technically allowed and will approve with good credit - the higher scores you first mentioned.

With a lower credit score of 640 - you will have to bring some funds to the table - down payment to get it to approve in the system. You can still ask the seller to pay money towards your closing costs or have a family member gift them to you.

    CASH OUT FINANCING

    A cash out refinance is a refinance of your property that allows you to pull equity out of a property. The mortgage can either be paid off free and clear or can have a low enough balance on the current mortgage versus the value, to make it worth pulling out the equity in the property. Cash out refinances are available on primary, second homes and investment properties.

    • The typical cash out financing is done after 6 months of owning the property, based on ARV and available for mortgaged properties #1-10. Please see delayed financing for less than 6 months after closing.
    • On a primary residence you can pull out up to 80% LTV on a SFR and up to 75% LTV on 2-4 unit multi-families.
    • On an investment property; A SFR if you have #1-10 mortgaged properties, you can pull out up to 75% of the equity and on 2-4 units is up to 70% equity.
    • On an investment property; If you have #7-10 mortgaged properties, including subject you are required to have a credit score of 720, and are subject to a minimum loan amount of $50k!
    • PROPERTIES LISTED FOR SALE - Must be taken off of the market prior to disbursement date of the new mortgage.
