Aaron Hale Delayed financing exemption to pay off loan to myself?
3 April 2019 | 5 replies
When doing a DFE or delayed financing exception you will be wiring that money back into your business checking account at closing if the business account originally dispersed the funds to purchase the property initially.The above is the financial and accounting end of it and the logistics.However, on the lending end if you need more funds because you're going over budget then you'll need sufficient income, assets/reserves, and credit to qualify for the new mortgage.Depending on how the property is currently titled you may have to QCD (quit claim deed) that property back into your name to close.This of course brings many other issues such as taxes and bookkeeping back into the foreground so consult with your tax pro on the implications of this as it may mistakenly create a taxable event depending on your business entity.Back to the lending end, assuming this is not a portfolio loan, you'll be closing your conventional loan into your personal name or your living trust.The funds will be wired to the entity or account that purchased the property in the first place (back to business acct if original cash purchase was from business acct).Let me know if you have any questions on the above.

Chuck E. Help with Preventative Maintenance Checklist

.- Continually monitor/check brick veneer for repointing, sagging.- Check chimneys for cracks every two years in elderly properties.- Annually trim back tree branches extending near or over roof.- Perform radon test every 5 years.- Perform sewage line inspection every five years, especially with old, established trees in obvious vicinity to sewer line, maple root systems are typically shallow and extensive (<5 feet)/oaks go deeper and never stop growing even if the tree branches keeps getting trimmed back (>5 feet).- Monitor typical icicle build-up, watching for insulation/roofing degradation.- Glyphosate weedkiller application 2x yearly, early spring, midsummer in problem areas.- Check window trim for wood rot (I have a constant bone to pick with window replacement companies that offer window wrapping for older homes, completely hiding existing trim as it degrades further and lets in more cold air!)
