There Is A New Way to Qualify for an Investor On Single Family Homes. #realestate #housing #news #oregon

Money Jar BH
In order to achieve lower default rates on single-family rental investor loans, many single-family rental originators have enhanced their underwriting criteria and are now qualifying borrowers for SFR investor loans based on property income rather than personal income, according to research fromMorningstar Credit Ratings.


The traditional way to underwrite single-family, single-property investor loans has been to do them as residential instead of commercial loans. Borrowers typically include information on projected rental income from the property and add a portion of this to their personal income; however, lenders of residential investor loans commonly qualify borrowers for loans based on the borrower’s personal income and credit instead of whether or not the projected rental income from the property can cover the debt service.
One of the main factors that prompted lenders to start focusing on property income when considering approval for a residential investor loan is the lower default rates on properties where the income from the rent more than covers the debt. Research from Morningstar found lower-than-average default rates among investor loans where the property income is greater than 1.2 times the debt service.
5-12 Morningstar“This approach makes sense: borrowers should be less likely to default if a property generates enough rent to cover debt obligations and are more likely to default if the debt service exceeds the rent,”wrote Morningstar Credit Ratings RMBS Managing Directors Brian Grow and Becky Cao. “It is common practice for commercial lenders to look at debt service coverage ratios as a key driver of default, and it seems logical to apply this approach to single-property investor loans.”
Morningstar examined approximately 900,000 nonagency investor property loans originated from 2002 to 2007 in order to determine the how debt service coverage affects default rates (using regional rent estimates from RentRange to individual investor properties in the CoreLogic In. nonagency loan-level data).

Team Thayer Real Estate House Flipping Traps! #flippinghouses #eugeneoregon #oregon #housing #market #realestate

If you’ve got several leads waiting to turn into potential deals, you can’t wait for one to suddenly come knocking at your door. Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform. Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...

HELOCs Are A Viable Funding For Investors! Team Thayer #realestate #realtor #housing #market #investor #news #oregom

The evolution of real estate investing has made financing easier to find than ever before. However, that doesn’t mean investors should rush into anything without minding their own due diligence. Simply finding a loan and receiving approval is by no means the only barrier separating an investor from acquiring an additional subject property; there are terms, rates, and a litany of other things to consider. What’s more, there are several types of loans made available to investors, each of which has their own unique distinctions. For the sake of today’s article, I wanted to discus whether or not  home equity lines of credit  (HELOCs) are a viable source of funding for investment properties. That said, it’s worth noting exactly what a  HELOC  is: For what it’s worth, HELOCs are not all that different from your standard credit card. However, whereas the most common credit cards have no collateral, HELOCs use your home as collateral. Accordingly, HELOCs coincide wi...
