Dean's Finance Center

My wife and I own a vacation home that we recently rented under a lease to own agreement.
We had been pre-approved for an equity loan that was intended to purchase another rental property. Today the bank informed me that the underwriter refused the equity loan and would not do any financing on our property because the house is considered sold under a lease to own.
They cited a recent trend of pre-foreclosure home owners using equity to buy cheaper homes and abandoning the first property as the reason they changed the policy.
We are in negotiations with the seller of the new property and this will sink the deal.
Has anyone heard of this and do you know of banks that will work with a leased to own property?
Thanks

I keep getting unauthorized access to almost everything. I cannot pursue investing unless I can Get what I need. Can someone help with this???? PLEASE

I work for a developer here in Utah. They right now are trying to find an investor for a commercial piece of property that they want to buy that is partially developed. They have been talking to the owner and it looks like a deal but now they are having a hard time finding financing. I was wondering what information you needed regarding this to see if this might be something that you might be interested in financing.

I only know bits and pieces. So my question is what exactly do you need to know. I thought maybe I might be able to bring my boss and yourself together to be able to make a deal where you could help finance and they could develop.

I think as a minimum you need to do some homework and present us with the actual costs and Value present. Then convince us that it IS indeed a Great Deal. At that point the investors would be lining up. theoretically.

I had pre-approval with the mortgage company in Maine that holds both my primary residence and vacation home. Base on a recent appraisal price of $277K we could refi the vacation home and fund the purchase of another property.

We just recieved notice the Lend Safe America audited the appraisal and reduced the appraised value to 230K. This eliminates the dollars needed to purchase and renovate the target property.

The mortgage company told us that we are A+ borrows but due to current market conditions their bank can't lend on the original appraisal price. They suggested we take the appraisal to a local independent bank or credit union to get the loan.

So tomorrow we start the loan process over; but may default on the P&S if the seller won't accept an extention.

Looking for anyone who has experienced this and any suggestion people have.

Thanks,

I want to buy my first rental property but the bank is telling me I need rental experience to qualify for lending. Does anyone know how to finace this. Thanks for any help. Im in NY.

I am so very grateful to DEAN and all you wonderful people who give of your time to help others succeed. I have long thought of trying to invest in real estate as A away to increase my earnings and plan for the future. I have been so discouraged by friends and family members whom I had talked to about my dreams. I thank God THAT I HAVE STUMBLED UPON A FAMILY OF LIKE MINDED BELIEVERS THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE.YES I AM SCARED OF BEEN LAUGHED AT , I am afraid that I might not have the right skills or that I may lack perseverance.BUT I WILL GIVE THIS ALL I CAN.

A few years ago I was almost killed by a drunk driver without insurance. I am partially disabled ,lack the money for the medical attention that I have been needing. I lived my life for the past five years in great pain , but with your help ,and the knowledge that I am not alone in my quest for a better life, I believe I have found my community of friends and helpers. I am ready to learn from all of you and also to assist where I may be able to get in and encourage others to stay in the game.

Im in AZ. lots of properties at firesale prices.
I have an 830+ Fico, no debt, CD's as collateral etc and still cant seem to get financing

my income tax returns for the last 2 years dont really tell the whole story of my cash flow because im trying to limit my tax exposure.

Any ideas on who to contact locally that will fund an up and coming real estate investor?

Thanks

Jeff

Hey Jeff,
Unfortunately subprime loans are long gone including all stated income products. This really leaves very little to offer small business owners that aren’t showing much income like yourself. There are some no-doc programs still floating around out there providing you have been reporting some income to Uncle Sam for the last few years. Try giving Jeff Williamson a call he’s a great broker based out of Old Town Scottsdale 602-373-7779. The LTV’s for no-docs aren’t very high but it’s a start….

my wife and I needed to buy a house but our credit is not to good at the moment can anyone help us get to the new house please

There is a huge auction coming up in Arizona. I have never tried my hand at an auction but would love to pick up a long-term rental at this auction. Do to the short amount of time that I have, I was thinking of using a hard money lender for the funds and then I'll put a mortgage on the property....with a lender that hopefully won't require the property to be seasoned for a year. I am scared to death to take this next step of finding and talking with a hard money lender.......but if I want in the game.....I don't see any other way. I need positive encouragement in regards to hard money lenders.....from anyone out there listening. Thank You!!

Can someone help me in looking towards a mortgage broker that does not insist on a 20 percent down payment.
I'm relatively new to this,
Thanks
Sam

Me and my husband own our house.
Mortgage: $295K. current Market price: $180K (we owe more than its worth)

Our total household income was $120k, when purchasing the house. I recently quit my job after having a baby, and now the income is down to $78K

After reading Dean's book, I found some homes, which will pay for itself, which I would love to buy as a rental property, But I want to know if we will qualify for a mortgage, as our income is less comparable to the mortgage we owe?

What are my options if I have a house 30% less than FMV, and has rent potential twice that of mortgage payment?
I have no down payment and no rental exp. I live in FL

Thanks !

Looking for referrals for a very good and experienced mortgage broker and real estate attorney located in the Phoenix area.

eboshart in Peoria, Az

Hello all.

I am a newbie and looking to get a first home for myself and then some rental property. I have already looked over 2 properties that can be had for great prices due to the foreclosures in my area, but I am looking for the name of any hard money lenders in the RI area, or even nearby southeastern MA. Appreciate any help someone may have.

I'm from Southern California can anyone help that could refer someone to me when you inherit a home with outstanding balance due. I been told so many things don't know what to do. The Grant Deed was done for the transfer. The current value $187,000 vs. $300,000 from the HECM Lender FHA. Credit not all that great told have to get new loan and if I don't qualify only thing been told just walk away. There has to be alternative for someone knows about Reverse and the situation I'm in. I need an answer back soon as possible.

Thanks,

I live in California. A real estate agent mentioned and investor can only buy a certain amount of investment properties per year. Is that right?
