Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi – A New Rental Investment Strategy

/in ,

Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi, a new 2-step loan strategy, helps you maximize your loan amounts while limiting the amount of cash you put into a project. It also helps you rapidly finish your projects and buy again, and again, and again.

What does that all mean? It means you no longer need to worry about missing out on great deals and getting stuck in expensive hard money loans.

The Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi strategy all starts with properly setting up your short AND long-term loans.

Now, even though your short-term loan will come first (to quickly buy an under market property from a wholesaler), a key step is to FIRST get pre-qualified for the long-term loan. Why? To ensure you’re able to maximize both loan amounts. If you can qualify for a larger loan upfront, then it’s likely your short-term lender will match that amount.

It also means you’re already going through the process for securing a long-term loan as you begin renovating a property with a short-term loan. Think, “Two birds, one stone.” By the time you finish renovations, you’re ready to refinance into a long-term loan.

But, hold on. You also need to know about the types of refinances. There are two you need to know about: “rate and term” and “cash out”. And yes, it matters you know the differences.

2 Key Pillars of BRRRR

/in ,

BRRRR is great, but did you know there are 2 key pillars of BRRRR that most investors don’t know about? Whether you’re just starting out with real estate investing, or you’re an ol’ pro, you should consider taking advantage of these crucial steps to ensure you don’t miss out on cash boosting opportunities.

Take a look at this video and learn about the two key pillars of the BRRRR method.

If you invest in rental properties, then you need to:

  1. Buy under market properties (i.e. wholesale).
  2. Use the Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi strategy.

These steps help you maximize your loan amount while limiting the cash you need to put into each deal. They also ensure you’re able to buy more deals and build your portfolio at a faster pace.

Through research and conversations, we discovered many investors are confused about how to get going on a deal with little to no money. So, we’ve taken a step back and tried to figure out why that is.

We found out many investors don’t understand the power of the appraisal/ARV. When you get into a long-term loan, you get to use the appraisal value/ARV.  It doesn’t matter what you originally paid for the property or the amount of money you put in to fix it up. As long as you set up the loan properly, then you should be able to use the appraised value/ARV.

If you’re ready to maximize your cash flow, capture lots of free equity, and live the life you want, check out the full video.

Investor Mortgage Report 6.16.2020

What We Know:

Rates on the conventional side have maintained strong with rates in the low 3’s. If you’re still wondering whether or not you should refinance, we’re going to dive into what we call ‘The Tipping Point Rate.’

This week, we’re seeing more larger non-conventional companies dipping their toes back into the investor loan water. This gentle ease back in helps increase liquidity, but it still comes at a price:  Lower LTVs and higher costs.

What This Means for You:

There is an exact rate where it’s wise to refinance. We call this ‘The Tipping Point Rate.’ This specific rate is the point where you won’t pay a penny more in principal and interest over the life of the loan.

Calculate the tipping point rate on your refinance

Going above this point might increase your cash flow, but it will end up costing you more in the long run. Sometimes this means it’s better to stick with what you have now.  We’re focused on putting more money in your pocket and less in the bank’s pocket.

This is for investors looking to increase monthly cash flow without adding lifetime cost of debt. So, if you’re solely concerned about your monthly cash flow, this probably isn’t the program for you.

So how does this work? Let’s take a look at an example.

Joe is an investor who is looking at refinancing to increase his cash flow every month. But not if it means paying tens of thousands of dollars extra to the bank in principal and interest.

Joe has been paying his current mortgage for 5 years. If he keeps the loan until it’s paid in full, he’ll end up paying $360k in payments over the next 25 years.

Joe wants to know the exact rate that he can refinance to a new 30-year fixed without increasing his amount owed. If it exceeds $360k, then he won’t refinance.

By knowing this exact rate, he can stretch his payments out and lower his interest rate without paying a penny more over the life of the loan.

How do we find Joe’s Tipping Point Rate?

Luckily, we have a handy program that can calculate just that.  If you would like to know your own Tipping Point Rate, send us an email!  We’ll run the report specifically for you and your property!
