What if you did an owner occupied loan for the more expensive side, and got a lease option contract for the other side?

Quote from @Chris Varsek:

I purchased a home for BRRR, took a loan out on it. It's cash flowing $400/mo, and we just received our first month rent. We want to move it to my wife's LLC, and out of our personal assets, this was purchased for her growing REI business. How long do we have to hold it before we can take out a loan based on the cash flow of the home and move it to her LLC?

You didn't say what kind of debt is on it right now, but if you quitclaim it into an LLC, (rather than sell it to your wife's LLC, triggering a taxable event) you will have to notify the bank you are doing so in order to avoid the due on sale clause. 

With a commercial loan, you should be able to refinance whenever. They will take the market rents to appraise. Once you quitclaim into the LLC, you will likely only be able to get a commercial loan. 

If it is in a residential loan, and you quitclaim it into an LLC, there shouldn't be a seasoning period as long as you are not trying to cashout refi.

Quote from @Charles Carillo:

@George Paquette

I have found with seller financing that the owner usually has an important item that they are focusing on; it could be the price, down payment or interest rate. I would feel them out and see what they are most focused on and build the deal around that. 

For example; the price is $300k but talk to them about putting down x% as a down payment and y% for an interest rate and see how they respond. If the property has minimal deferred maintenance; I would shoot for 5%-15% down and a term of 10+ years (see how long they will go) with no pre-payment penalty. If the property needs serious attention; I would try and deduct this amount from the down payment and tell them that you will put a clause in the contract that states the work will be completed within x months.


 I agree with this- I wil add that sometimes what is important is external from the deal. ie, "I need enough money to get a storage unit and a plane ticket to fly out to my grandchildren". Maybe you can pay for two years at a storage unit and buy a plane ticket for a whole lot cheaper than your down payment would be.

I am looking at a property to BRRRR for $300k and I threw it out to the owner to owner finance it. She said yes and for what terms? I wanted to get some ideas that people have received for owner-financing and to see if you would share the terms?


 You want to focus on the seller's needs. Seems like she isn't going to just come out and tell you, so you are going to have to do some digging to find out what it is that she really wants. I would suggest putting together a few offers, all with different terms, and present them to her. Her responses will tell you what she really needs.

@Tanner Sherman I'm getting $550 for 3 years plus $850 set up fee.  The location is right by the major military base in my area.  It is very prominent, but since it's considered a rural location the cost is less than half of what it would be in town.  I've done some polling of military members and more than half respondents were able to tell me what the current featured advertiser is at that location.  Also, there are no other visual distractions nearby.  I noticed in town, that the concentration of advertising is overwhelming. I think this spot's an opportunity. I'm going to go for it!

@Sam Romain I know you're right. I'm going to start with this one and add on more locations along the same path.  When driving into Minneapolis, I noticed Kris Lindahl had dozens of billboards on the interstate I was traveling on. It caught my attention!

 That's not bad at all! I might have to look into that... 

Yes Kris Lindahl might as well own every billboard and TV ad in Minneapolis. You can't live in MN without hearing his name at least 3 times per day.

I have really been considering the billboard idea too, what kind of rates are you getting for it? I would presume it is based on the daily traffic but I have no idea how it works.

Typically the best markets for cashflow are in the midwest and the best for appreciation are the coastal markets. There are certain areas that the population is rising so appreciation can be expected, but if there was one market that was #1 for cashflow and #1 for appreciation then every investor in the country would be investing there.

I would definitely say that using a local bank is usually better. I have interviewed dozens of banks and I always feel more like a person and less like a dollar sign with the local banks.

Welcome to the BP community, take advantage of every piece of free education you can get on here! Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but I would recommend researching other REIAs around the nation and joining their meetings virtually. Omaha REIA live streams the meetings on facebook.
