π‘ Mortgage Options & Tools
With elevated prices and demand and coastal STR inventory persistently low, investors often must pay slightly above their targeted investment commitment to acquire the property of preference. To off-set, soften or improve metrics there are several strategies and tools borrowers should be familiar with:
Seller Concessions & Credits - Powerful tools for enhancing cash on cash returns, reserving capital for improvements, reserves or furnishings or outright better interest rates and lower payments. Credits can be negotiated before or during contingency periods and most investment properties are eligible for up to 2% of the sales price as a seller contribution.
A.R.Ms - If interest rates trend as anticipated, an adjustable rate mortgage is a viable option that can provide borrowers with greater buying capacity and lower interest contributions. What is an A.R.M.? It is a loan with a fixed interest rate for a defined period (2-3-5-7-10 years) and then adjusts based on the margin and index (usually higher). The catch? The loan eventually needs to refinanced or satisfied..The data? Most investors donβt stay in the same loan longer than seven-ish years..even if they own the property longer.
Interest only A.R.Ms - provide lower mortgage obligations with improved cash-flow. The catch? No principal payments. The data? Amortization schedules front end load interest meaning over the first 3-5 years there is a very small percentage towards principal payments - and βI/Oβ loans donβt restrict principal obligations but they provide the βoption.β Borrowers should have a clear understanding of these loan products before committing but are underutilized in todayβs real estate transactions.
Shopping Lender Specials & Scenarios - Itβs not always who you know, but what and when that can make the mortgage difference. Mortgage rate shopping is notoriously annoying and time consuming and difficult to obtain accurate rates or terms without an abundance of calls, credit checks and inconveniences. There are evolving services, but AI hasnβt quite replaced the experienced mortgage broker yet..One tool that has transformed efficiency of analysis and financing options for my investors is our recent strategic partnership with:
