Many times if not very often, the investor finds out that they cannot refinance ALL of their capital out, and thus their plan to go and buy a new rental property is now stunted. How does this happen, and why? In this video presentation, I explain the most common scenario and why this happens to real estate investors all over.

During the next couple of slides, I will go over how this saying is true, and depending on which side you play on, you will benefit from. In this first slide, we have a lender with $150K and a borrower with $150K. The borrower wants to use leverage, ie the lender’s capital to help him buy this property. The As-Is value is $210K, so the borrower does not have enough, but he does have 30% to put down towards the loan. The lender is willing to give a $147K loan @8% annually, amortized over 15 yrs. The PI payment is $1,405 per month, the borrower will have to pay for taxes and insurance themself. The borrower has to put down $63K but still has $87K remaining.
