I am on my 3rd sneaky rental. When I discovered this I could not believe it. I couldn't believe the bank would give me another mortgage and let me turn my old home into a rental. All I needed was a lease agreement to cover my DTI. I grew up doing carpentry work (home remodels) with my uncle. I started a few businesses instead of ever getting a real job. When my wife and I purchased homes we always have looked for something we could improve upon and have projects to work on. Something we could force equity into. I have grown my businesses to where I own them and they don't own me, allowing me more time with family and to renovate our current sneaky rental/home. It took about 8 years into our "real estate investment" journey to start realizing some decent cash flows. We're in year 9 now, and the snowball is starting to really roll. Exciting stuff. Glad you guys shared this.

@@madbarber1670 Just be super transparent. You own the home your in, you want to buy another for 5% down. If it is the DTI that is messing up the possibilities, a lot of lenders will cover the debt you have on your first home with a lease agreement. I've found honesty is the best policy paired with conservative cash management and you should be good.
@tariqreid1866 Жыл бұрын
You've managed to overcome perhaps the most difficult part of the sneaky rental strategy, which is to have a wife that shares your long-term financial goals and is willing to repeatedly move every 2 years and live in fixer upper properties and even share those family living arrangements with renters (strangers). This is a great strategy for single people, but I don't think most women would want their families to live like this. So you're way ahead of the game if your wife is on board with the plan.

@@switchkey2010 you'll have to widen your search to neighborhoods, or cities, or even states with lower prices. Ideally you find one in an area where short term rentals are allowed, in areas where people travel to. If your first place has less than 20% equity, I'd look into getting it appraised to see if you have enough equity now. When you buy your second, make sure you let the lender know you're buying it as a primary residence. Fortunately, interest rates will likely come down by the end of the year. Most lenders will auto refi within 2 years, if the rate comes down.

There is some nuance to what they’re indicating that does not make this 100% accurate..in the sense that if you vacate your property and still want to hold on to the previous home as a rental have to still qualify for the new loan that you are getting based on personal and/or rental income from old property. So the gentleman mentioning 25 homes in 25 years is assuming you could carry the note from a creditworthiness standpoint for that many homes, which is unlikely for most people. At some point you will need to sell off some assets Which is a smart strategy for liquidity but as far as the low barrier of entry to get into rental investing for 1-3 homes this advice is solid.

If your income doesn’t go up significantly in this time your buying power is still limited. They add 75% of the rental income to your income but require 2-3x the mortgage payment on your income so each time you get a new property you have less buying power. Also, there are conventional loans that allow you to put 5% down on a property so you don’t necessarily need to do it this way unless you are using an FHA loan
@lailaatallah1857 Жыл бұрын
Excellent, you two! So helpful. However, I think Christian may have made a math error. When you do your third house/houshack, that single property wouldn’t likely be expected to DOUBLE the gains of the first two properties. Using your example, you might go to bringing in $72K with two properties and then by adding another $36K with the third property, you’d be closer to $108K, and not closer to $150K. Now, if you did TWO more properties at $36K each then, yes, you would be closer to the theoretical $144K/$150K.

One thing they should address is the significantly higher mortgage payment when you put 5% down. If you have a high mortgage and still have to pay to renovate the house, it is very possible your expenses will exceed your income (if you are a moderate wage earner). Also, if you turn a single family into a multi-family you will pay more in property taxes. When you do end up renting it out, if the rent(s) don’t exceed the costs (mortgage, vacancy, cap ex, shared utilities etc) you may still be coming out of pocket after you move. My point: this approach is conceptual, you must run the realistic numbers to see if it will make sense.

Good morning, I listened to your podcasts often and have learned a lot, thank you. I am interested in real estate investing and currently paying a 2.87 % interest rate for a 4/2 2300 Sq home that I would like to rent. My mortgage payment is 1,188 including insurance and pmi. I can potentially rent it for about 2300 or room to room for about 2800. I am currently looking in my area for a fixer upper that I can move into while I fix. I called 2 lenders so far and they are telling me I cannot purchase another primary residence with 5% down which is all I have at the moment. They are telling me to refinance to get the 25% downpayment. No way am I going to do that. Question, do I have to tell lenders that I would like to purchase a rental instead of a primary.( my issue is not having 20% downpayment) I would also use the projected rent to help with my DTI since I am only now making about 55k/ year. My price range is around 250k. I am in Ocala Fl, lived in current home for 6 years and have about 170,000 equity. Thanks in advance. (Sorry for such a long text)

It has to be a duplex or SF with a permitted ADU at the very least. But you can buy a SF home and build an ADU or basement apartment from it and sell it as a MF home for the next person.

@ivorine, I wouldn't refi that loan either, smart move! What I did to buy my 2nd home, was to find my next primary residence, with 5% down (as you're trying to do). You have a couple of options. The $170k in equity, you can get a HELOC (home equity line of credit) yet that has to be done only on a primary residence. Once you get approved for a HELOC, it's only on paper (electronic now) until you use it. It's very much like a credit card (cc), LOC = Line of Credit, just like a cc. I'd prob ask for $100k LOC to cover your down payment, and any rehab to both properties. So I'd get that HELOC in place with your bank or credit union. You only pay when you borrow the money. After that, you can look for the next home to move into so you can rent out your primary. At this point, your current primary becomes your rental and your new home becomes your primary. Reach out if I can help you understand any of this, I'm a new investor with my first investment property. Best of luck!

@@sreehill GM, thank you very much for taking time out to give such invaluable info. Really appreciated! Question, wouldn't the chances of getting a loan for second home with downpayment from HELOC work against me? Even though I only have my mortgage and a car payment where my daughter is also on the loan because I helped her to get financing. Payment $368. Since my employment income is only at 55000, wouldn't my DTI be too much with the HELOC. By the way, my daughter pays car payment , just graduated from UCF with Bachelors degree and has no debt and just establishing credit. She just turn 20 and is very responsible. ( Sorry for ranting, I'm just so proud of her!)

What if I’m not in a position to live in one of the units (young kids/family and I’m investing out of state) if a multi-unit investment house? Is there any way I can still take advantage of the 5% down. What are the terms for “living in the residue se”? What if I just keep one of the units unoccupied for when I’m in town?

So how do you go about switching your primary residence from your previous to the new home? and when you do that, what happens to the mortgage you already had on the first/previous house? stays the same? Also, I thought most lenders wanted/required you to do a 20% down, no? can you still qualify for FHA if you have very good income?
@MommaANDcaregiver Жыл бұрын
U still hv a mortgage if u cash out refinance ur first property. If u forced the appreciation, the value has gone up so ur rents should align with new value. FHA loans only need 3.5%. Use cash u got from cash out refinance to use towards next down payment
@sheamincey Жыл бұрын
Following this method, when you go to buy your second house, the first mortgage is counted in your liabilities but the lender can credit you proposed rental income from that first property so it basically washes out. As for the down payment, you do not need 20% for conventional. Or at least not in this scenario. In general the minimum dp is 5% but in some cases you can put as little as 3% down. For fha, there is no maximum income/fico.
