Peter Walther ROI expected by purchaser of a PMM

Some general guidelines:- yield for the note-buyer at purchase will likely be 8%+; most are looking for 9-15%- min 10% borrower downpayment if owner-occupied, 15%+ for non-owner occupied- very few will buy the loan above 75% ITV (note purchase price/fmv); ITV plays a big role in general- the more seasoning, the better; 6-12 months minimum is ideal (some will accept less in light of a strong overall profile) - if owner-occupied, then make sure the note is compliant; use an RMLO if possible- other variables, like the borrower credit risk, collateral profile, and quality of the paper/structure will be more important with low/no seasoning- use a licensed servicer for servicing Thanks for the advice Patrick, it gave me a lot to consider.

Prashant Sheth Gap Lenders for a fix and flip?
29 April 2025 | 3 replies
There is no list of qualified gap lenders -90% of them online are scammers as the reality is any sane investor will not take the risk of financing up to 100% of the transaction - and if they do it will be at credit card rates which makes the deal metrics almost never work.only time it works is if there is a borrower who has other assets that they can cross collateralize.
