How do I finance real estate? • Good credit • Cash Flow • Collateral

Good Credit • You are already determining this! Credit Cards, Cell Phones, Utilities, Car Loans, Insurance • All this leads to your EMPIRICA score.

EMPIRICA • 720 and up is golden • 680 to 720 is acceptable for secured transaction • Below 680 is doubtful • Automation is coming.

The banks outlook on credit score • The bank lives for a 3% return over what we pay on average for deposits. • How much risk would you take for a 3% return? • Thus 680 and higher are what we want.

Collateral • Cost versus Appraised? LTC versus LTV! • Typically the lesser of the two after the proper discount has been applied.

Collateral • 80% Loan to Value (LTV) – This means that the bank will loan 80% of the appraised value of a property.

Collateral (Continued) • 90% Loan to Cost (LTC) – This means the bank will loan 90% of the cost of a property.

Variations in Discounting • Farmland • Hotels • Special Use Properties – Labs – Hospitals – Malls

Relationships Matter • After all this there is a but. But relationships matter. Occasionally you will be able to get around this rule.

Cash Flow

Residential is so simple. • Rule of thumb for expenses is 35% of gross rents. • Coverage of 1. 2 can vary if it is a higher risk more coverage may be needed. • Go to BSI 300 model.
