You're going to have to piece a few different loans together unless you do a construction loan that wraps your first and a new second into one.

@Chris Mason the key many times is to get a value similar to a duplex. I've won that battle a few times.

It’s a great time to own property in CA! Always has always will. Whether you develop it or not depends on so many factors. Zoning, Land cost, holding costs, demand, relationships, etc.

Quote from @Christina Kokologiannakis:

We are closing on buildable land in a few days.  We will eventually build an Airbnb on the property but can't do anything till the plans and budget are ready.  Until we can convert the loan in to a construction loan, I want to refinance out of the high interest rate we have on it.  We needed to us a hard money loan due to banks not counting our Airbnb income and my business income.  We are putting 50% down on the property, paying 2 pts and at 10% interest rate.  

I would like to refinance pretty quickly and get back out as much of the 50% cash we had to put down. 

Can some one explain how that will work?  Is it possible? How long do I have to wait to refinance? What do I need to be able to refinance land? 

I really appreciate the help and guidance. 

 


  Not many refi options for you. I’d focus on building the plan, vision it’s future use and then raise the money you’ll need to get going. Raise enough, quickly to pay off the hard money loan. They’re sharks and you will continue to have significant carrying costs.

You'll need to seek non-traditional financing.

Leveraging VA loans via residential or commercial development has always been an underutilized strategy. I'd suggest connecting with a few VA lenders locally.

Assume you are buying it cash! Seller carry may be one of your only options. Maybe it’s not about price rather terms that make the agreement happen. Find out what makes all parties happy.
