Spending Money to Make Money: Arizona Airbnb Loans

November 26, 2019Uncategorizedbigdaddydennis

Earn passive income using an Arizona Airbnb loan to secure an investment property that can bring in money each month. Boost your chances of a higher monthly income with the right real estate investment and idyllic upgrades.

Gone are the days of staying in seedy roadside motels, trying to score a last minute reservation in an expensive resort, or shacking up on a friend’s couch when you travel. Arizona Airbnb Loans, also known as rental loans, have changed the way we think of travel, and for homeowners it has changed the way we think of making money using property assets which no longer have to rely on long-term leases or high tenant turnover with occupancy-caused maintenance.

What do you do if you don’t have an existing property to use? Of course you can rent out a room in your personal home, but why not rent out a whole home for more revenue and keep your privacy intact? Whole home rentals have a premium price and open up the possibilities for larger group sizes to use your property.

Types of Arizona Airbnb Loans

There are multiple ways to purchase a home to use as an Airbnb property, including the following popular options:

· Typical home loan (best if you already have the income to obtain a rental home)

· Short term rental loan (can provide the income to gain rental property without pulling out of your own pockets)

An Airbnb loan, or a rental loan, can provide year-round income for you and your family and there are ways to maximize your return on your investment property. Think outside of the box and you can be one of the go-to destinations for Arizona Airbnb guests, building your clientele and securing year-round reservations.

· Keep an eye on local trends to snatch up the business of out-of-towners. Buy in a central location to ensure you get the Waste Management Phoenix Open traffic. Consider a home in a suburb of Phoenix to capitalize on spring training visitors.

· Use excess funds to make improvements to the home that will enhance the property and demand a higher per-night price from your guests.

· Need ideas on how to improve your pad? Join Airbnb host community forums to get tips and tricks from other hosts. Find hosts in your area who can tell you if it’s worth the cash to install an outdoor spa or if you would be better off upgrading your kitchen.

The opportunities to make money in real estate are endless, but an Arizona Airbnb loan can enable you to make passive money with minimal time and effort on your part. Make an appointment with a financial planner today and start taking steps towards a stable financial future by taking advantage of a 21^st century moneymaking trend. An Arizona hard money lender can help you secure the funds to get yourself on the Airbnb revenue train and setting you up for the financial security you’ve always dreamed about.

REGULATIONS OF VACATION HOME LOANS

November 18, 2019Uncategorizedbigdaddydennis

You have finally figured out how to get that lake house you have dreamt of for years. You can rent it out when you are not using it—genius idea! But, hold on because traditional lender rules may not allow that deal to come true.

The first thing you must know is there are different mortgages to finance a vacation home and each of these mortgages have their own set of rules. There are three main mortgages: primary residence loans, second-home loans and non-owner occupied loans.

A primary residence loan is where a borrower will find the lowest mortgage rates. After living in the house for at least one year you are legally free to rent out the home as an airbnb. A second-home loan has the same rates as primary residence loans; however, down payments will be larger. On the average lenders require 20-25%. Finally, non-owner occupied loans, which are also called rental property loans. These loans will run you about .35 percent higher than primary and secondary home rates and your down payment will typically be 30-35%. With a non-owner occupied loan you will be allowed to rent it out and also to use it when it’s not being rented.

When you take a loan for an airbnb, there is a document titled the note. The note will have all the information about the “cans” and “can’ts” of your loan. This will include everything from the loan rate to any additional requirements of the loan. This is where you will find, in a second-home mortgage, that says you can not rent out the home. If you do not follow these laid out rules you will be found in default of the loan.

MAKE SURE YOU TAKE OUT THE RIGHT LOAN FOR AN AIRBNB

Many people are choosing to invest in vacation properties. If the property is near a popular tourist destination it is very possible that the entirety of the mortgage can be paid solely from renting the property out. Airbnb is taking over hotels. Why would people pay the same amount for a hotel room when they can have an entire condo for close to the same price? It’s a brilliant idea to buy a vacation home and have the mortgage paid by tourists. Unfortunately, financing the purchase of vacation real estate can be quite the challenge. Typically, lenders don’t lend large loans on vacation rentals because they are considered investment properties. The problem lies in that banks have no reliable source of data for the vacancy rates on a vacation rental property. Add on that appraisers don’t use short-term rental rates when looking at rental or vacation properties. What that means to a potential buyer is that these properties are undervalued in their potential generation of income. Therefore, banks are not confident on a borrower’s ability to pay the mortgage on said property.

Help with getting a loan for an Airbnb in Arizona

This is where a hard money loan comes into play. These investors know the market is out there and believe a profit can be made. Hard money investors do not base your ability to pay back the loan on your debt-to-ratio or your credit. These loans are based on a borrower’s assets. They are asset based loans. You can find them as low as 7% interest and your investor will work with you closely on loan terms. Remember, where there is a dream, there is a way. See a hard money investor to explore the options that are available to you.

WHY 100% LTV Financing in Arizona IS HARD TO GET

November 17, 2019Uncategorizedbigdaddydennis

100% LTV Financing in Arizona is not impossible to get, but it can be challenging.

Hard money lenders are typically disinclined to approve 100% financing on a deal. It is unsettling, to most lenders, when a borrower requires 100% financing. There are 3 main reasons that most lenders won’t approve 100% financing.

1. The borrower has no experience in real estate or hard money: Not having any experience in hard money loans or real estate increases the chances that the borrower will make a mistake and this will cause both the lender and the borrower to lose both time and money.

2. The borrower isn’t financially solid: When a borrower asks for 100% financing it casts doubt on their financial situation. This can cause the lender concern about the loan being repaid. Typically, lenders feel that a borrower who isn’t risking any of their own money has very little skin in the game; and that is not a risk most lenders want to take.

3. The borrower won’t assume risk on the deal: When a borrower requests 100% LTV Financing in Arizona and therefore has no equity into an investment, it makes sense that lenders feel it would be easy for the borrower to walk away from the property, leaving the lender fully responsible for any potential losses.

100% financing is rare in commercial real estate deals. You will see it more in residential investing; and even more commonly you will see it in fix-and-flip deals. A lender is more likely to finance 100% of the project if it is a short-term deal with a clear predetermined strategy. Most lenders that finance an entire purchase will only do so for experienced real estate investors. A borrower that is new to the game will have a much more difficult time finding complete financing.

INEXPERIENCED BORROWERS NEED SKIN IN THE GAME

When it comes to investments you will always take it more seriously if you have some skin in the game. It’s a little like being a kid; remember, wanting new shoes, or a video game, or a remote-control plane? You would ask your mom or dad and they would say, “yes.” More than likely once the excitement settled down you would toss it wherever the “toys of yesterday” lived. But, remember saving your money and buying that same toy? I’m willing to bet you took better care of it. It is human nature to take care of things better if you have invested in them. If you have no money invested, it will always be easier to walk away.

What is cross collateral and how can it help you get 100% financing?

Cross Collateral is where the borrower allows the loan to be secured by equity in an additional property. Hard money loans are always backed by real estate. In cross collateral there is more than one property and at least one of the properties are free and clear—meaning the owner owes nothing on the property.

Let’s say you find a property you want to purchase for $200,000. You want to purchase this price, but don’t want to put money down on it. You also have a property that is appraised at $175,000 and is paid off. You will find lenders that will give you the $200,000 because the property you own free and clear plus the new property are enough collateral to pay back the loan if you default on the terms of the loan. That is cross collateral—and that is what you will most likely need if you are an inexperienced investor looking for 100% financing.
