Hi,
I ordered Sheets information about 3 months ago. It was very good and detail, it is great for beginners. I returned the course within the 30 day period because I learned so much from Creonline forum that I had surpassed the information in his course. So I have ordered William Bronchick?s information on setting up a C-corp. It is excellent and he gives you every detail that you need. Now I am waiting to receive one of his other courses, which I am sure will be just as good. If you are really serious about Real Estate order the course. Sheet?s company do not hassle you to return the product if you follow their policy. Also, take a month and read each day the messages on Creonline and you will have a better idea on what to purchase for your situation.
Refinancing Income Property - Posted by Todd Anderson

I can get more information about this by picking up the phone, but I’d like all of your input also. Besides, no one else is up at 10:30 on a Saturday night!
I’ve got a non owner-occupied duplex, fully rented, worth about 150K. I owe 108K on the first and I want to refinance at 80% (120K) and pull cash out. There is also a second mtg on the property that I want to leave in place. It is a fixed interest, interest only loan due in a balloon payment in July of 2002. It is a $13,500 loan with payments at 9% a year. ($101.25/month) I have a 3/1 ARM on it now, which adjusts in July of 2002, at 7.05%. The few lenders I have spoken with all want about 8% with 1 point up front. For what I make a month off of it, that puts me in negative cash flow. I had always planned on selling it in three years and then using the profits to buy another one, but if I can get the money out of it now and still maintain a positive cash flow, plus use that borrowed money to buy another property, all the better.
Any suggestions on how to do this, or do I simply need to keep searching?
Todd,
I was browsing thru the archives and saw your post from a few months ago. But since it hasn’t been 3 years yet, maybe my ‘anything’ will still help.
If you want to sell it eventually anyway and buy something else, why not refinance it - squeeze cash out of it until you can’t stand the negative cash flow, then sell it as part of a 1031 exchange? You could do that at any time in the next 3 years. Just my $0.02. Good luck!

You need to get the second mortgage holder to subordinate their loan to your new first mortgage. If the holder is a bank this will not likely happen, but if it is an individual you might be able to talk them into it. You can probably have your title company prepare the documents for you.
