Jaydee:
I’m sorry to say you don’t tell us much about your deal.
Deal constructing is important when dealing with a lender.
For starters, when doing Multiple units or Commercial properties, you’re working with a
smaller lending community.
In most cases when dealing with small banks, they will do a 30 due in 10 year, or a 30
due in 7, and of course 15 year fully amortized.
There are lenders that specialize in Multiple units, that are nation wide.
For example, Washington Mutual will have a Commercial department that will cater
to just this sort of financing.
Back to deal structuring. There is a lot a lender will take into consideration when doing this
type of deal.
- Age of units
- Location and surrounding area
- Condition of the subject property
- your qualifications or experience with this type of property.
There is more in addition to your financial strength, such as LTV, Cash flow, DCR( debt coverage ratio),
which they usually require to be 1.20 to 1.30, and the list goes on.
Jaydee, there can be compensating factors when doing a deal of this type to which you can show strengths
of a deal in one area, when lacking in another. But know nothing about your deal, I can’t give you any more information than this.
Yes, there is definitely 30 year fully amortized financing out there, but I would have to know more about you and your deal to advise you. I’m sorry to say that I’m currently barred between preparing for my
workshop, and I’m already working with some of the new participants of the workshop. Other wise I would
just ask you to call me. Good luck Jaydee, You seem determined enough not to accept NO, and because of
that, I know you’ll get it done.
