@Amy Greger, You aren't alone in your particular scenario. Many of the lenders we work with nation-wide won't lend to a borrower who is not within a certain radius of the property - no matter the numbers. There are some who will, the numbers just have to make sense, and you have to prove you have experience working with and being successful at managing the same-type property out of state. This will be huge.

Another option - Is there someone in the same area as the property that you would be able to bring on board with this deal? If someone on the LLC was in direct vicinity, this would help your chances significantly as well.

PM me to discuss more, I'd be happy to learn more about your current situation and try and brainstorm with you.

Best Regards

Richard,

I completely agree with Ann. Your likely to find many HML's. I second her suggestion to attend her event. Because Ann is running the event, I would assume she has worked with many of the investors there. Ask them about their experiences! If you ever get an unnerving feeling working with any lender for one reason or another, follow your gut, ask around.

If you shop around and work with a broker such as myself, the experience will be a little different. A reputable broker will only work with lenders who don't charge those additional junk fees. So if you find a good broker that you trust and has a good reputation, some of those worries can disappear. Vet and ask questions is the best advice! Best Wishes

Marty

Best wishes, Becca! Sounds like you're on track, and you're absolutely right - your filed taxes and ability to use that income will change your opportunities here substantially. Let us know if we can help in any other way!

@Serena Ocenas, as a broker we work with many HML's and out of all of them, there is not one that advertises for 100% financing on LTC. However, some HML programs might offer 90 or 95% of purchase and 100% of rehab as long as the LTC does not exceed 65% of ARV. So, the secret is to find a property at deep enough discounts to get the most leverage. But that leverage will be limited by 65% ARV.

Keep in mind also that it's typical that the higher your leverage, the more expensive the loan. You can expect to pay 3-4 pts (possibly 5 depending on your credentials, experience, and different aspects of the property's rehab needs) and 12-15% interest only. If you're turnover on a flip is 1-2 months, and/or you're doing high volume, these rates and terms still make great sense.

Also keep in mind, that often times a lender will offer more favorable rates to investors who are repeat borrowers with them, and who will bring a lot of business. Certain rates and terms are often reserved for these type of investors. What you're looking for certainly isn't impossible to find, but it will be more difficult for sure. Private lenders (family, friends, personal connections) might be more inclined, but again - connections connections connections.

You mention you're an experienced investor - without question, this will help you. HML's love experienced, liquid investors.

Best of luck, Serena!

I am not sure if I am under the correct posting - so I don't mind any a point in the right direction.  I need a hard money lender willing to work with someone with 615 credit score.  My issue is school debt.  I am looking to move on to my 5th property and need some help moving forward.  If you know of a hard money lender working in the Georgia area please send them my way.  Thank you!

 Greetings, Mel.

It's a new year for all of us. Send me a PM, let's talk!

Michael,

Is the property stabilized? Does it need rehab? Do you or any of your partners have prior experience in this property type? How many properties do you own of this type currently? How much cash do you/and your partners have top do this deal? All these things will be taken into account with any commercial lender.

PM me if your interested. Id be more than happy to talk about this deal with you.

Marty

My lender has rejected me last minute because he was unable to count my property management income towards my debt/income ratio since I haven't done my 2016 taxes to prove this income. Additionally they are giving me a hard time about quitting my corporate job to pursue my own ventures. I'm sure plenty of you have had this problem! If the boxes don't check right they will give you a big fat REJECT.

I'm working a job in land development consulting, have rentals, property management and other side ventures. Additionally, 80% of the mortgage can be covered by rental income because the house has a separate apartment. My credit score is over 770.

Hard money doesn't seem to fit for my situation as I'd like to keep the house for awhile. I've looked into SoFi but they don't do any mortgages in Utah. 

Any advice, contacts, anything would be very much appreciated!! I submitted an offer on the house today. Yes, I probably should have been pre-qualified prior to putting in an offer but didn't think it would be an issue. Lesson learned. :)

Thanks!

Becca

 Hi Becca,

It sounds like you may be looking for a Bank Alternate/Stated loan. These loans do not require much of the documentation that you are struggling with. They are there for people in your situation struggling to get conventional financing. You are most certainly not alone. Many investors need to go this route if they are devoted conventional financing for whatever reason. 

Send me a PM! I don't want to break any forum rules. But let's talk!

I was hoping for some great BP recommendations for hard money lenders in the DFW, TX area. I would like to have a reliable lender relationship lined up as I am looking to quickly close a BRRRR and would like to ensure I have the financing portion of it ready to go.

Anyone that might have local contacts that I could network with would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 Hi Greg, send me a PM, I'd love to hear more on webcast your goals are, but don't want to break any forum rules.

Thanks, Greg!
