the option that i usually use is similar to a bridge loan, each bank i work with calls it something different but the basics of what i do is i use my house(which is paid off) as collateral for the down payment and then take the rest of the loan out of the property im buying, i have 1 payment and no out of pocket cost and then once its finished i can either sell and recoup my money or i can refinance and clear the debt from my house so i can move onto the next
Thank you so much for this information. My husband (software engineer) and I (nurse) ended up with an "accidental" rental property and now we are looking to invest in more properties. I had no idea how we were going to do this. Your video was great!
As a lender I'm investing heavily into this space in Los Angeles. Working with like-minded people that also love RE investing gets me fired up. Let's go!
Once he said you can borrow the down payment, I knew there is ALWAYS a way to finance if you a good deal because the lenders are gonna want in on the deal!
i like the small bank portfolio lender loans. Especially since I am new to the game and building up. Thanks for putting out great useful content! Much appreciated
Video was more educational and succinct than I expected, thank you. I'll be subbing and bingeing for a while, hope you the best with your investments and life!
I'm only 13, but I've been trying to learn about financing. I don't really understand some of the terminology, but I kind of get the point. Hard money loans, and commercial loans seem to catch my eye, and seem to be the best option for where I live. It would help if you made a video about terminology such as what does mortgage, lender, and real-estate...
Thank you Henry for such a valuable information. I have a question about hard money loan, how long typically do they loan the money for? I appreciate your help! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have one question, If you use a commercial loan you get amortized for thirty years but have to pay back the bank usually in 10-15 years. So normally a cashflow of $400 won’t be enough to pay the balloon payment at the end of the commercial loan. So does that mean you have to keep refinancing to make things work? Thanks in advance for your response
Super helpful! I knew of the first three but commercial is news to me. I’ve always been weary of ARM mortgages but happy to hear there’s a cap on increase. Is it possible to refinance out of commercial to conventional (at some point) if the bank offers both?
This video was very informative and I appreciate how you broke down the details. Thank you! I joined BiggerPockets a month now and looking forward to great things as I start my real estate investment journey.
Can you provide the Hard Money Lender calculation formula in order for one to know what the profit will be, the repayment cost back to the lender, etc.
I have a question, I would like to know if is better to apply for an investment loan in the state where the property is locate or if it can be in any state? because we're investing in a different state than the state we live in. Thank you, so much!!
Hey Question: When you borrow the down payment from a private lender how fast do they usually expect you to pay them back? Because wouldn't they want it back quicker than the bank which is tough with a rental?
Conventional Loans are useful for buy and hold and that's really what bigger pockets preaches. Hard money, Private money, and Commercial loans are really only tools for flipping houses or refinancing into a conventional loan. Wouldn't it be nice if a lender could combine all these products and services and allow a you to borrow %100 of a home's value plus rehab costs and then turn around and let you refinance or sell with them once you've added value to the property?
Mucha información super valiosa, gracias por compartir. Cada vez le voy entendiendo más de como funciona los bienes y raíces para empezar a invertir...
Great explanation of solutions to buying, especially first deals. I just put my first deal together and am approved for a commercial loan . Waiting on the inspection!!!
Will smaller bank, should you let them know that you have a property or no? Should one use the same lender with a prior property which will show what you bring to the take? Is there a specific website to use to obtain a list for smaller banks?
If I get the loan in a small bank , can I refinance after that 3 to 5 years in a conventional bank with 30 years fixed to avoid that adjustable rates ?
Great info! We want to buy rentals that need a bit of work but starting out we don't have the rehab money, will a commercial lender allow us to borrow that money too?
Some will but, you may need to have someone attached to the deal, who has experience in this kind of a project at first. Typically, they want to see three successfully fix and flip properties on their resume within the last three years.
So I am a first timer here and looking into purchasing my first investment property. It is a cash deal and I am trying to find a commercial back that will finance it. When I ask about cash deal financing the folks on the phone are lost. Other than cash deal financing, is there different lingo so they know what I am asking about? Thank you
hi I have a duplex with tenants on both side...in January 2023 it will be 1 year, by the way it a FHA loan,, I will refinance to a conventional loan...so I can get another FHA loan,,,to buy another duplex....
Question for anyone: How do you know if you have a good investment if you don’t have the property yet? Most realtors want you to have a Pre-Approval before you can even make an offer on the property. It is a risk that the lender and I lose money, but nobody knows until the loan is approved and see what happens.
Are HELOCs normally acceptable to small banks for outside funding for the down payments? Or do you have other suggestions for down payments? I’m in a pretty expensive market(middle Tennessee) which puts many deals out of reach due to large down payments. It is the main reason I haven’t pursued investment properties more aggressively
None of them ,Just another way of financing if you say you gonna live there with a low 3.5% down payment, usually lower rates and backed by the government
I’ve heard of crowdfunding. Get to networking and meeting the people with the money. Whether this is through your local REIA meetings or local real estate investors group See what they’re willing to invest and in return you provide a return on their investment via your calculations.
Thanks for this. I am just getting started and finding out interest rates are poop right now. The lenders I have spoken with suggested a cash out refinance or HELOC on my primary residence to help purchase my first deal. Thoughts on either?
I'm right there with ya. My other follow up question along these lines is, if we do a heloc and can't buy a full property 100% cash with it. Will having a partial mortgage loan AND heloc be way too much? Would really need to rely on your renters asap to get you out of that hole if so!
the option that i usually use is similar to a bridge loan, each bank i work with calls it something different but the basics of what i do is i use my house(which is paid off) as collateral for the down payment and then take the rest of the loan out of the property im buying, i have 1 payment and no out of pocket cost and then once its finished i can either sell and recoup my money or i can refinance and clear the debt from my house so i can move onto the next

Are you open to finance others to either own part equity or earn interest on the rental property?

Yes!!!!!! That's what I need.
There are some out there that will do exactly that, as long as you have the credit and resume to back it up.
DTI is also important. It wasn’t mentioned.
Small banking is genius! Thank you for the information sir.

Great info! We want to buy rentals that need a bit of work but starting out we don't have the rehab money, will a commercial lender allow us to borrow that money too?
Get an LLC first so your personal assets are protected. Then use the LLC business to get loans.
Some will but, you may need to have someone attached to the deal, who has experience in this kind of a project at first.
Typically, they want to see three successfully fix and flip properties on their resume within the last three years.

Appreciate the info my man💪🏽
I love the way you explain things!
Great information. Thank you.

You can put less than 20% down on a conventional loan, but you will get PMI tacked on to your monthly payment.

Thanks for this great content!

Does bigger pockets work in Canada?
Thx!
Henery much respect man. Awesome content. Very very informative.. thank you for that man!
Good stuff! Thanks!
This is why I dislike bigger pockets, no where did you mention non qm loans or dti which is way more important than a credit score
Not if you do creative or seller finance
I have to say this is a fantastic series and as a newbie, this is gold.
Which category does a FHA loan fall under?
None of them ,Just another way of financing if you say you gonna live there with a low 3.5% down payment, usually lower rates and backed by the government
How do I get 200k as a nobody for 25% down on a 9 unit??
I’ve heard of crowdfunding. Get to networking and meeting the people with the money. Whether this is through your local REIA meetings or local real estate investors group See what they’re willing to invest and in return you provide a return on their investment via your calculations.
@@KeronBryce what’s a REIA?
This is sort of what I was wondering, like what about other miscellaneous sources like 401k loans or home equity lines of credit?
