Getting 100 percent Texas Hard Money Loans for flips might seem as difficult as catching a unicorn, but in reality it isn't. Getting such a deal just requires a little out of the box thinking and some negotiation on your part.
If a lender is offering 100 percent financing, you have to ask, 100 percent financing for what? Few if any lenders want to take on 100 percent of the risk by offering a true no money down deals up front. They will either fully cover the cost of purchasing a property, or rehabbing it, but not both.
You want both these costs covered, so what can you do so you can pay nothing for your next flip?
To cover both the cost of purchasing and rehab you need to work within the terms initially offered by your lender.
Simple tactics to get "real," 100 percent Texas Hard Money Loans for your next flip:
• Lower your initial bid: If your lender is offering 100 percent financing on the initial purchase price, lower your initial bid, so that your loan can pay for the rehab costs as well.
The less you pay for a property up-front, the more financing you'll have on hand for repairs and the less money you'll need to pay out of pocket.
Say your lender is offering you the full purchase price of a property listed at 100 K, and repairs will cost you ten thousand. In this case you’d simply lower your offer by ten thousand.
The math, in this case, works out as follows:
90 (to purchase the property)+10 in repair cost-100 in hard money= basically a free flip.
This simple formula will always work regardless of how much financing your lender is offering up front:
Purchase Price + Cost of Repairs = Funding Offered
Not every seller will be so kind as to lower their initial sales price by thousands of dollars for the sake of your own profit and convenience, so
• Take out a small loan to make up the difference: If you encounter, an intransigent seller unwilling to give you the required discount is your hope of getting 100% financing lost? No, all you need to do is take out a small credit line to make up the difference.
Getting 100 percent Texas Fix and Flip Loans comes down to following a simple formula.
The first thing you should look for is the largest amount of financing possible. The more financing you have, the more wiggle room you have when it comes to negotiating the purchase price of your flip.
So get a significant loan first then buy the property at a low enough cost so that your loan covers the cost of rehab. Working within the formula:
Purchase Price + Cost of Repairs = Funding Offered
Using this simple method you can flip for free regardless of the amount of money that your lender initially offers you. Remember you can always plug any shortfall in terms of financing with a small credit line.
If you can manage to make the numbers work you can pay nothing for your next flip.
