Interest Only Loans for Real Estate Investors

Interest only loans for real estate investors are my specialty. I have developed extensive knowledge of the underwriting requirements of these interest only loans for real estate investors. For experienced real estate investors, there are depreciation and expense treatment methods which improve your ratios. Interest only loans for real estate investors are flexible.

Many of my interest only loans for real estate investors are converting from fully amortizing payments to an interest only approach with a significantly lower monthly payment. I have some extensive information available. Read more to see if this powerful tool could work for you.

Programs fall into two categories: Fannie & Freddie and our Investor Specialty Programs.

Interest only loans for real estate investors sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac require a down payment ranging from 10% to 25% with a delivery fee ranging from 1.5 to 3 points. Please understand that these fees are imposed by Fannie and Freddie and are not charges from either your lender or your broker. However, the fee allows using conventional rates and loan limits. These conforming loans are available as either fixed rate or an ARM. Even with the delivery fees, these loans can be a good choice if your goals are to maximize cash flow and you plan to hold the property for a 3 to 5 year period. Ratios are normally 28/36, but with automated underwriting, Excellent credit and some liquid reserves, it is not uncommon to see back ratios in the middle 40s. Rental income is decreased by a 25% vacancy factor but there are underwriting methods which eliminates this issue for experienced investors.

The Interest Only Loans for Real Estate Investors Specialty program (actually a growing group of investor loan programs) allows purchase or refinances with only 5% equity. The program allows up to 20 properties plus your home. Available up to $1,000,000 and 2-4 unit properties are acceptable. Ratios are generally 34/40 and a No Documentation program is available. Available as a fixed or adjustable rate in many reduced down payment scenarios..

100% interest only loans for real estate investors are now available with fairly reasonable rates. These programs have been available for a while, but at extremely high rates compared to market rates. We finally have a source of financing that will allow you to acquire property with limited out of pocket costs.

I have an investor loan based on the LIBOR Index. The LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) Index is more stable than the COFI index (Cost of Funds Index). Comparison charts between the COFI, LIBOR and MTA indexes are available. One feature of the program is four repayment options. You can decide to amortize the loan for 30 or 15 years, a minimum amount, or interest only. You can choose every month and have the flexibility to manage cash flow as never before!

Here are my thoughts on the difficulty of "flipping" investor properties.

For the the greatest flexibility and maximum loan qualifying ratios, you may be interested in the Cash Flow ARM. This may be the very best option for an investor.
