Don’t forget points and closing costs. I just refinanced 3 properties and ended up with 7K wasted in them.

Kathy is wrong. Home equity loans are for owner occupied homes not rentals. Getting financing for rental property is harder than for a home you live in. typically, you can get financing for 75% of the purchase price or the appraised WHICHEVER is lower.

I am not an expert at this. I have financed just one rental so far with a 65% cash out financing. I bought it low, put money into it then refinanced it. The paperwork and loan was a hassle.

Try to get owner financing or talk to a mortgage broker who specializes in investor type property.

Know your financing options before you buy or you will regret it as I did with the extra headaches.

I eventually got all my cash out and 8% 30 year financing yielding $225 per month positive cash flow which I am pleased with.

GOOD LUCK!

Far as I know, you can get a second mortgage of 70% on the equity. That’ll get you $7000!
