Investor-Rehab Financing
 

Brian Dodd & Gulf States Mortgage have established themselves as one of the leaders in Investor-Rehab financing.

What is Rehab Financing?

Gulf States Mortgage is one of only a few lenders to offer Rehab Financing - a loan targeted exclusively to the rehabilitation of properties in need of repair.

What is your Down Payment?

You make absolutely no down payment as long as your loan amount is no higher than 90% of the ARV [After Repair Value]. You will be required to make a 2% deposit at the interim close this deposit will be refunded after permanent close.

What properties do we accept as collateral?

Gulf States Mortgage considers the following property types as acceptable collateral:  owner occupied, second home & non-owner occupied up to a 4-plex.

What properties don't we consider?

Commercial properties.

How do we determine the appraised value?

Easy. We send out an independent appraiser who is familiar with real estate in your local area. You give the appraiser an itemized list of repairs and improvements that you'll make to the property. The appraiser then determines the property's current and future value after all the repairs are made.

What are the terms?

The interim loan is a 60 day balloon note (90 days, if needed).  No payments are due during interim period.

Exit Option One: If you decide to rent out the property instead of selling it, we will give you a long-term (10-30yr fixed rate) permanent loan at extremely attractive rates.

Exit Option Two: If you need a longer than expected time to fix up or sell the property, we'll extend the loan. (maximum of 90 days)

Can the deed be held in a corporate name?

No.

 

 

What if the property doesn't need any repair?

That's fine.  Gulf States Mortgage will still offer you a loan based on the loan to value (LTV) of the appraised value as opposed to the purchase price.  So, if you're buying the property at a discount, you can still do it with No Money Down!


What else do I need to know?

Time Frames:

Pre-Qualification --usually within the same day.
Closings --as soon as we get the appraisal and title report.
Your whole start to finish process is about 30 days.

Loan Amounts:

Minimum --$15,000 + Repairs
Maximum--$250,000

Costs:

The typical cost for this program is 9.5% interest for the interim loan with 2 points and some general closing costs.  The permanent loan carries very attractive rates with typically 2 points and general closing costs.  Rates are determined by your credit. This is a regular conventional loan with usually no mortgage insurance.

Disbursement:

At the interim or first closing, we advance the purchase price, initial closing costs and the repair money will be set up in a draw account.  As you make repairs, we disburse the repair proceeds.  It's typically in installments of $5,000.00 or more.

Creditworthiness:

We need 620 middle score for full doc, 660 middle score for stated.


So here's a practical example of a rehab loan....

An investor can buy a distressed single family property for $70,000, He believes that he can fix it up to salable condition for $10,000. When the repairs are done, it should be able to sell for approximately $100,000.

In this case... we can loan the borrower up to $90,000 which is 90% of $100,000!

In other words...


We'd give him:

 

the 70,000 to buy the property

 

the 10,000 to fix it up

 

plus any money for closing costs on both the interim and permanent loan...

 

He wouldn't need any of his own money!!!
