Fire damage is tricky. City has to inspect if I'm not mistaken to determine if threshold is met to where it is a tear down or rehabable. Permiting will be stricter I imagine.

Get a personal loan from SOFI for $100k. Finish remodel. Deed to LLC. Get tenant in place. DSCR refi out (maybe put both properties on in one portfolio loan). Pay off personal loan. Do it again. Or talk to a private lender about delayed financing. Then refi out when done.

Strongly suggest. Also makes private lending easier. Keep all those monies moving through one account. If you are doing a BRRRRR with a DSCR rental exit, smooth sailing. If the deal pencils, the underwriting is so much easier. LLC is pass through income so have your bookeeper or CPA take care of everything at the end of the year for your tax documents. Get your insurance in business name, utilities can be put in business name. Build a financial history with your LLC.

I would hope that the BOA meeting would tilt in your favor considering the error on their part. I have sat in a couple of those meetings, they sure say no a lot. Best of luck

Bought one from my wholesaler. Refi'd two recent completed rentals. Still in awe in the amount of "deals" that come my way that have no basis in reality. Watching the strike team go wild slapping stop work orders like crazy.

I use State Farm. My agent beats all other rates, somehow, I don't ask. And I get to bother him whenever I want.

If you can weather thin deals right now on the hold side, it will pay off.

It's slow out there for a lot of trades in SA right now and I'm not one to gatekeep. I've been through the gammit of good and bad trades. If anyone out there is looking for trusted trades in HVAC, Electrical, Roofing, Foundatio, Framing, Painting, Drywall, Cleaners, Junk Removal, etc., let me know. More than willing to share my contacts to keep them busy. Buyer beware of course but these are folks I routinely use and trust. DM me if interested.

I'm not a GC, but have rehabbed several BRRRR and Flip properties in SA. If you need any pointers feel free to reach out.

Quote from @Derek Brickley:

Hey Matthew, is there a reason you wouldn't be looking for delayed financing? I have not had luck finding someone cash out less than 6 months otherwise; sometimes 12.


ARV is higher than what purchase and rehab are. Delayed financing will only allow me to pull out maybe 80% of total cost put in instead of refi on appraised value with tenant in place.
