Hi -

Hoping to get some advice and/or connect with a potential lender for my scenario.

Currently I own a 37 Acre lot with 1 Duplex and 1 SFH. Total rent between the three is $3200/month.

I have an adjustable 20 year mortgage with a balance of $100,000~ at 4.95% that is set to adjust in 2026.

I also have a HELOC on that property at $180K~ with a 9.75% rate.

I am hoping to roll these two into one loan and reduce my monthly payment/ interest rate on the HELOC as I will be having the debt long term.


I also currently own a 11 spot RV Park which I own all 11 units and is currently generating $10,375/month in rent. It is on a 13 acre parcel that I own free and clear. 

I want to be able to borrow against this somehow to give me capital to work on some other development plans that I have.


Anyone have any advice on how best to pursue this? I have not received favorable terms from the local bank I worked with on the original loans, and they are unwilling to work with the RV Park whatsoever.

You may look for cash-out refinancing. This would allow you to leverage the equity of the property. If traditional banks aren't providing favorable terms, consider alternative lenders like HML or PML.  These institutions might be more flexible and willing to work with your specific scenario. 

Post: Commercial lending for 6 unit property

Quote from @Julianna Barnes:

Hey everyone! I am looking for a private money lender that can fund on a 6 unit property in the Bay county area for around $400K with great monthly cash flow. I have already been preapproved through various DSCR/Commercial lenders however they are all requiring 25%-30% for the down payment. I have the capital available for that size of a down payment but I really don't want to tie up that much cash into one property. I am wondering if there are any lenders on here that are able to fund the entirety of the loan with at least a 10%-20% down payment and/or a private money lender that can help fund the 25%-30% down payment with one of the lenders I have already been preapproved with. I also have another investment property located in Enterprise, Alabama that has about $150K of equity currently in it. However, after running some numbers on a cash out refinance, the current rates would nearly obliterate the $800/m I'm gaining in cash flow on that property as it currently has a 2.25% interest rate. Does anyone have any creative financing advice that we could get this deal done without needing as much upfront cash? Seller is absolutely not willing to do seller financing of any kind as she is sick and needs the cash now. Thank you to everyone who responds!

Hi Juliana, were you able to find some help with this. If still not, let's connect. I'd
be happy to assist.

Hi,

I am an out of state investor, currently rehabbing a property which I plan to rent out and refinance in a few months. 

From what I was reading about refinancing requirements - seems like some of them require the property to be managed by a management company. 

Can I self manage this property and still get a refinance? (I have boots on the ground in case needed)

Thanks  


You can self-manage your property and still qualify for a refinance, but it depends on the lender's specific requirements. Some lenders may prefer properties managed by a professional management company, especially for investor loans, but many also allow self-management.

Quote from @Guillermo Nadal:

✔️Today I close in my second multi family building.

6 units 2/1.

Plan is rehab it rent it and refinance it to pay back private money lender.

Why I have private lenders loans

Because I join groups and pay membership to be around people that are doing what I’m doing and more.

Because I am not shy in telling people what I do and what I’m looking for.

Because I know what I’m doing and talk to people with knowledge and proof of what I done.

Because when someone tell me no I don’t get offend it or insult. I just keep looking for the YES 😁.

Because I don’t care what other people think of me or what I’m doing.

Because last month I paid $2500.00 for a 6 week training and already have 92k in loans funded and 109k in the pipeline.

Because I know if I don’t tell people what I’m doing and what I done they won’t know about me.

Because I’m not afraid of work hard without crying or complaining.

Because I’m 57 and I don’t want to waste more time of what I already wasted with the wrong actitud.

Private lender lend me 215k for purchase 100k to rehab.

That's awesome to hear! It’s inspiring to see your perseverance pay off. Keep pushing forward—this is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see where your journey takes you!

Good morning

If I have  250 K capital , can I make 120 K a year from flipping?

Thanks in Advance

Flipping houses can help you earn high returns, but making $120k a year with your capital depends on: Market Conditions, Property Selection, Renovation Costs. It could be possible but consulting a real estate professional could help.

I purchased a home on the MLS less than 90 days ago and renovated the home. The project got finished quicker than we anticipated. Should I list it on the MLS now or wait the 90 days?

If you've finished renovating your home, you don't have to wait the full 90 days to list it. Waiting might increase value, but your renovations could attract buyers quickly.
