The following is an example package for an investor today on what they can buy for new construction. Let’s go over some of the qualifying aspects needed for today’s investor:
Instant Equity Available- This typically means that’s their will be some instant equity based on today’s real estate market value, typically 15-20%.
$75,000+ F.T. family income- Based on qualifying for a loan these days, you would need a full time family income of $75,000 if it was going to be an investment property.
700+ Credit Score- One to two years ago we could have done this with a 620-660 credit score, but today lenders require a pretty high credit score.
$25,000+ min. down payment- This is really only about a 10% down payment, the 100% financing no money down days are gone for now, so money is needed.
(10% Line of credit, ask how)- We have large banks like Wells Fargo, etc and can show you how to get a credit line from these banks based on credit and salary.
NO Bankruptcy last 24 mo+ -This particular investment program we have to ask that their were no bankruptcies in the last 24 months, if you have a lot of money down, we may be able to find another lender, possibly, but this is pre-construction and we have a specific lender and need to meet their requirements.
NO Foreclosures last 36 mo+- At this time we need to ask that your most recent foreclosure was over 3 years ago. A short sale may be looked at the same by some lenders.
Same job/type 24 months It really helps if you have been doing the same “type” of job for the past 2+ years, not always the same company, just same line of work.
Now let’s go over some of the features this property program has, and how it works:
Features:
-Turnkey New Construction- This means it’s ready to go from day 1, we give you the key and you are all set with a rent to own buyer.
-Special Pre-Construction pricing allows for Instant Equity- Because you are doing a pre-construction loan, we can save money on holding costs and pass that savings on to you.
-Special financing program allows for NO mortgage insurance even with 10% down payment-This saves you on cashflow.
-Already rented with a 2-3 year lease and a rent to own agreement in place before construction begins-This is very HUGE for you
-Property will cash flow- To be even break even or cashflow on New Construction with only 10% down is really unheard of.
-Many down payment alternatives available- The Line of Credit we mentioned above
-Down payments also allowed from having equity in a property, ask for details-If you have over about 15-20% equity in a property right now we may have alternatives to using a lien on that property in exchange for a down payment on your investment property.
-Many NW cities to choose from- We have many cities to choose from, we have the lots, and you just choose the city.
Investor Program:
We design the home around the tenant family’s needs and allow them to be involved in the material selection process. We meet with the tenants first to design a win-win scenario for everyone. This will create an emotional attachment to the home for that rent to own family. Typically, in this situation, families will take better care of the property and you will have the best chance possible for the tenant to buy the property during the rent to own lease term. Once we have the house designed and the numbers defined, we would present you, as the investor, with the opportunity.
Now let’s go over some actual details of the houses themselves:
Features for the home to make it turn-key:
- 4BR/3BA two-story and 3BR/2BA split-entry homes
- Stainless steel appliances including microwave
- Custom oak hardwood floors in kitchen and dining room
- Cultured stone on front instead of brick
- Concrete driveway
- 3 car garage with opener
- Sprinkler system, full yard of sod, and landscaping
- Air conditioning
- Clothes washer and drying
Price points may vary depending on the type of home, and if you are reading this after May of 2008, this is subject to price changes, so please call ahead first. Once you are locked in on a loan though and have a purchase agreement you are locked in at that price with the instant equity.
Approximately $240,000 for a split-level
Approximately $260,000 for a rambler
Approximately $270,000 for a 2 story
Photo 1 Here is an example of 1 photo, I have more I can show you on this property.
What is good about this example from above, is it’s based on a builder who has been building for many years. The property has more upgrades than the average new construction house. The house is at a lower price to make the numbers work. The house also has a rent to own buyer already in place, which really saves you a lot of money on finding a buyer later on. My associates that I work with on this new construction program have been working with these builders and programs for years and if you would like some help please email me anytime at ron@minnesotainvestors.com agent/broker
