Danny nailed it, talked to a local smaller lender maybe in Canby, otherwise the bank may want you to pledge more assets to reduce their risk


Quote from @Sanat Bhandari:

@Angel Lee What's your estimated credit score? Talk to a local bank/credit union that can do a portfolio loan for you. Their underwriting can help you get away with a potentially lower credit score

DSCR lenders place a huge amount of importance on credit score so if your credit is <640, it'll be hard to get approved for a DSCR loan (though most local banks are at 650, some might grant exceptions or go below that depending on your finances)

Feel free to PM me to go through your situation

Congrats!


What bank?

Quote from @Robin Simon:

Right now, the advantages of getting a shorter fixed rate loan (either a true bullet commercial loan or something like a 5/1 or 7/1 ARM) aren't really advantageous and the savings on rate are really low (you might for example only be looking at like 15-25 bp lower on interest rate vs. 30-year fixed) so getting the 30-year fixed is probably best for optionality and in general. Also, if your properties are in Minnesota, there is no prepayment allowed on 1-4 unit properties even on commercial loans so you can prepay at any time or partially along the way on a psuedo-25 year amort if you'd like.


Don't know your specifics but I'd guess that getting 30-year fixed rate financing is probably your best bet and allows you to pursue any strategy you'd like over the course of the loan

You can charge pre-payment penalties on 1-4 family in MN.

You have a lot of options Justin. I would look at the long-term plan and see what structure fits you best. If your current primary residence is above 3% it might be a no brainer to lower your rate while pulling out equity. You get best rates typically on primary residences before investment properties. If you are looking to scale, you could put a line of credit on the the investment property to help make cash offers and could hold the real estate in an LLC. Conversely rates are low so it might not be a bad idea just to finance it personally and get a long term low fixed rate,, something in the 2.5% range. The rental income will pay the mortgage and use your funds as down payment.

Hi Jeff,

Dan is correct and there is a potential to do a Freddie Mac asset based approval as well vs using the 2 year income rule. Plenty of options for you.

Best,

I would be looking to Duluth as the new medical campus comes to town, however I have learned from past experiences the iron range has it's fair share of issues just an hour north. Rochester is still great and for cheaper properties, I still some out towards Waconia. Again, plenty of exceptions.
