And as a result, I took over being host and she's co-host. So now I have to keep an eye on the participants and

CAELI RIDGE: admit them in. So if anybody is a zoom aficionado that knows how I can remake her, the host, so I don't have to keep an eye on admitting people as they pop in, because usually people come after the first few minutes.

But I'm I'm doing this to kind of garner more participation. I want to hear what you guys have to say. and and where your comfort levels are with with understanding. And in today's case about cash out refinance. So let me just get started on that. I want to. There's a housekeeping, a little bit of housekeeping stuff I want to start with.

12
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:16.079
CAELI RIDGE: and you guessed it. Yes, it's about interest rates. Everybody's favorite topic. and I'm gonna have some polls that Carly is going to put up. I'll trigger you, Carly, when I'm I'm ready for you to ask some. I think most of them are yes and no questions. but first let's talk about interest rates. Everybody is very obsessed, always obsessed. No matter what I say, everybody really wants to focus on on interest rates. So I want to address a few of those talking points. first, let's talk about real time.

13
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:41.250
CAELI RIDGE: most of you. If you're watching the headlines about this and your feed comes up. You know that the Feds are meeting today, and tomorrow we're gonna hear pretty soon. sometimes they do it on the first day, a lot of times they do it. The second day of the the Fed meeting. What they're gonna do with the Fed Fund rate, and there's been a ton of speculation over the last couple of weeks, as there always is about what Mr. Jerome Powell is going to be saying they're gonna do what they voted on.

14
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:50.829
CAELI RIDGE: Many people think that they're going to pause a lot. Then, on on the adverse think they're going to increase another quarter of a percent, you know. I

15
00:03:52.020 --> 00:04:00.620
CAELI RIDGE: I hope they pause. But I'll tell you something that from the lending perspective related to mortgage interest rates, secondary markets, Wall Street

16
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:27.960
CAELI RIDGE: they they tend to already bake in the worst case scenario. So the interest rates that we've been quoting for the last week 2 weeks. already assumed that the Feds would be raising a half a point I noticed that yesterday and today we saw a little bit of improvement in mortgage backed security rates. but as of later today, this morning we woke up and race. We're posting pretty well the best that I've seen them, probably in the last 2, 3 weeks. And then, lo and behold!

17
00:04:28.030 --> 00:04:39.840
CAELI RIDGE: We had an intraday reprise to the negative. So rates are kind of back up a little bit. So that's where where we are today. I'll give you some specifics in a minute. what are they gonna do?

18
00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:53.380
CAELI RIDGE: Let's hope they pause, and if they do, I think we can expect some improvements later this week, and maybe for the trailing weeks after that I don't think we're done with. The rate hikes In fact, I would put big money on the fact that we're not done with the rate hikes unless some catastrophic event

19
00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:58.770
CAELI RIDGE: befell us. Hold on. I gotta let people come back in. Admit all.

20
00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:26.209
CAELI RIDGE: Yeah, Carly, I can't see where to to put you back as host. So if if they pause, I think that we might be in an we might have an opportunity to strike. Will the errands hot. Get a little bit better in rate Otherwise I would be prepared for more rate hikes this this year. We are not at the inflationary rate that the Feds have been absolutely clear about meeting. They're going to get there at all costs. So be prepared for some of that. I would tell you guys, and I think that I predicted this last year that

21
00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:48.850
CAELI RIDGE: some easing of of interest rates. I think I said, some time around fall, maybe a mid to late fall of this year. Let's hope that I'm right. otherwise, if we continue to kind of see these amazing job reports which are not working to our advantage. It's funny because it's a double edged sword, right? We want the economy to be doing well. But the better we're doing over here, the more we're going to start. We're going to continue to see those those interest rates go up.

22
00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:56.420
CAELI RIDGE: The last job reports, I think, that the prediction was 195,000, and it came up with 335,000 new jobs.

23
00:05:56.500 --> 00:06:00.009
CAELI RIDGE: So that didn't help us in in the right sector.

24
00:06:00.140 --> 00:06:24.940
CAELI RIDGE: all right, as I'm I'm dribbling on about this. I'm still going to hold tight on some starting to see maybe some potential right improvement mid to end of fall of this year, and if I'm off the mark a little bit, then let's look into 2,024 for anything material. and remember, rates will always fall much much slower than they go up. Rates always go up much quicker than they come back down. So we're going to have to be a little bit patient with it.

25
00:06:25.030 --> 00:06:31.229
CAELI RIDGE: so that's where we are today. I want to. You know, I want to beat the drums, continue to beat the drums

26
00:06:33.570 --> 00:06:48.269
CAELI RIDGE: about interest rates. Let me let let's ask a question. Here's a yes or no question. Okay, here's Paul. Number one. Carly. how many of you here today are what kind of waiting on the sidelines for rates to come down before you make any next moves on, and in any new acquisition and or refinance

27
00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:53.530
CAELI RIDGE: list of of of hands. Yes and no, I guess. Yes, you're waiting. No, you're not waiting.

28
00:06:57.320 --> 00:07:02.740
CAELI RIDGE: and if it's easier in the chat, Carly. If if there's a technology thing, no, no worries, honey, we'll we'll get it figured out.

29
00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:07.980
CAELI RIDGE: So far we got we got 3 nose. Thank you guys for participation for knows.

30
00:07:11.750 --> 00:07:13.160
CAELI RIDGE: Keep them coming, guys.

31
00:07:13.210 --> 00:07:20.660
CAELI RIDGE: Mr. Michael. Yes, Ron, yes, Justin. Yes. Okay. So right now, it's a pretty good mix 50 50, maybe.

32
00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:29.160
CAELI RIDGE: we've got stopping us from moving on, but not stopping from creative financing. Good, Chris, I'm glad to hear that. That's actually

33
00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:37.159
CAELI RIDGE: a great answer. polls not working. Okay, we'll we'll get the technology. You guys know what I'm like with technology. I'm gonna put this on me. I'm not. Gonna

34
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:43.380
CAELI RIDGE: I won't give this to to Carly. I'll take it. technology and me not not so, not so much.

35
00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:51.579
CAELI RIDGE: okay. let's let's just take another minute and talk about interest rates before I get into today's topic.

36
00:07:52.310 --> 00:08:06.329
CAELI RIDGE: one of the things that I I feel like is missing from a lot of people's mental rolodex. When we we talk about interest rates, and especially those that are kind of waiting on the sidelines for rights to come back down before they do anything

37
00:08:06.340 --> 00:08:25.809
CAELI RIDGE: because their expectation for monthly cash flow, or maybe the market they're looking in, or their strategy. Whatever has been depressed, they they haven't found a way to reinvent themselves and or set that new expectation. Those that think that they're going to get 3, 4, $500 a month of positive cash on a long term rental.

38
00:08:25.870 --> 00:08:34.799
CAELI RIDGE: that they were getting in, and 2,02021, even parts of 2,022. I would say that that again single-family, long-term rental we have to classify it.

39
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:58.680
CAELI RIDGE: Those days are over. So if your expectation is in that range, you're going to be waiting for quite a while, and and in that that interim you're going to be missing out. That is my personal and very strong opinion. you will be missing out on otherwise up great opportunities to start your real estate investing. And if you were to do it this way, and if that's your your strategy. That's perfectly fine. But keep in mind whatever your goal is, your long term big picture goal.

40
00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:24.949
CAELI RIDGE: If you're going to do it in a way that you're going to wait for the absolute best rates and and best cash flow, and that expectation, whatever that is in your head, or that Roi number It'll take you 2 or 3 or 4, 10 times as long to meet those benchmarks and realize those milestones within what your your goals are. Okay. So just know that the other things I wanted to mention to you guys remember, as rates are high today, what do we as investors do?

41
00:09:25.130 --> 00:09:34.830
CAELI RIDGE: Do we keep, I mean, do we? We secure mortgages on a 30 year fixed basis, and keep those mortgages for 30 years? How often does that happen?

42
00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:44.439
CAELI RIDGE: It is excessively rare, I mean, in in the fraction percentage. Very, very, very rare do we keep the interest rates we start with.

43
00:09:44.570 --> 00:10:09.239
CAELI RIDGE: especially for not on our occupied, maybe not as true, for owner occupied even for not on a rocky or owner occupied is still a very small percentage. we're already starting to see some people that got their their 2 and a half and 3% interest rates refinancing in a new products to tap into their equity. Most of them are looking at the All in one, not everybody. But in any case, you know, you get into those really really low interest rates, and you tell yourself. I'm I'm never going to refinance again.

44
00:10:10.180 --> 00:10:26.469
CAELI RIDGE: So that's that's probably not true. Okay, so that's the the first piece of this expectation, setting the appropriate expectations. for what the returns need to be not passing up on opportunities to reach your long term goals

45
00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:28.160
CAELI RIDGE: And then finally.

46
00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:35.199
CAELI RIDGE: I talk about this a lot, one on one, and I don't know that I've ever brought it up here in our our live events.

47
00:10:35.720 --> 00:11:01.810
CAELI RIDGE: That those of you that are are more focused on the tax benefit. Okay, some of you know that you have some tax benefit that you can get at Others of you are really kind of focused on what you can, you can achieve within the right offs on your schedule. E. Whether it be a business. Turn your personal return to mitigate the amount of taxes that you're paying for you especially. And if you're in that same category that says you're kind of waiting for interest rates to drop before you do anything.

48
00:11:01.810 --> 00:11:28.830
CAELI RIDGE: I want to bring to your attention. If it wasn't already obvious, if you had a 4% interest rate, and you know, you probably know, if if tax benefit is important to you, that you get to write off the interest that you pay on your schedule. E. Right. That's one of the deductions that you get to write off, and it happens to be one of the deductions that will not work to your disadvantage when we're calculating debt to income ratio. I won't go into all of that just to say that insurance taxes.

49
00:11:28.900 --> 00:11:51.279
CAELI RIDGE: interest and appreciation as an example, those 4 are add backs. They will not work as actual expenses and harm a debt to income ratio. When we figure this schedully calculation, they'll work to your advantage. Actually. So going back to my point, if you had a 4% interest rate that you're deducting interest on right. And you've got the the cash flow there. What if you had a 7 or 8% interest rate?

50
00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:54.729
CAELI RIDGE: Is the interest higher that you're claiming as a deduction

51
00:11:54.890 --> 00:12:09.630
CAELI RIDGE: heck, yeah, and depending on the loan size, it could be quite a bit higher. So you know, I'm always beating the drums about doing the math, and I don't know what everybody's tax bracket is, and what their circumstances are, so I can't really give you that information. I'm look unless I'm looking at it with you, one on one. But

52
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:15.769
CAELI RIDGE: if your cash flow at 8 is $200 versus

53
00:12:16.050 --> 00:12:36.610
CAELI RIDGE: 6%, whatever it is, at 300 bucks. Okay, again, whatever the numbers. If you're not including what the longer term tax play is going to be there with the extra interest that you can claim versus what you're losing in the monthly cash flow. You should be okay off my soap box and upset. If you guys have questions, put them in the chat, I'll answer those at the end.

54
00:12:36.890 --> 00:12:39.990
CAELI RIDGE: Okay? So polls are not working right Curly.

55
00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:44.179
CAELI RIDGE: Now, she can't talk.

56
00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:52.939
Okay. Alright. So I am. I'm on my own. That's okay. You guys are going to I've got some clients waiting is what somebody said.

57
00:12:53.130 --> 00:12:58.230
CAELI RIDGE: One new message. I've let everybody in. I have to unmute Carly, and let's see.

58
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:04.689
CAELI RIDGE: I don't even know how to do that. I'm so sorry, you guys.

59
00:13:05.810 --> 00:13:23.009
CAELI RIDGE: Oh, I figured it out, asked to unmute. Yes. Hello, everybody so sorry about the technological difficulties. We're figuring it out. But polls are live. You'll just be the one to. It's down at the bottom there polls, and it's all, I think 4 questions we have. Thank you. Dear. Okay, guys.

60
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.649
CAELI RIDGE: okay.

61
00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:52.379
CAELI RIDGE: so cash out refinances. This is coming up a lot. There's been some recent changes to guidelines. We usually focus law on the conventional. I do have notes and and updates for you on the 9 Qm. For those of you that are in that bucket, the all in one, etc. But most recently, this year, a couple of months ago, we had some pretty significant changes to what was allowed for cash out refinances on non owner occupied. So here's my question. Number 2, I think this is also an a yes or no question. Let's get back there.

62
00:13:52.910 --> 00:13:59.009
CAELI RIDGE: polls and cash out rules waiting on race to come down to the question.

63
00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:05.770
CAELI RIDGE: Missed step. I don't know which is which part Carly, do you?

64
00:14:06.630 --> 00:14:08.390
Karlie Libby: Yeah, let's see.

65
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:16.370
Karlie Libby: are you looking to ask who is done or interested in Br?

66
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:22.429
CAELI RIDGE: And it was the how many of you have recently attempted a cash that's missed up. Okay, thank you.

67
00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:27.710
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, launch.

68
00:14:29.170 --> 00:14:54.550
CAELI RIDGE: Okay? So here's the question. So those of you that have it. It could be Burr. It could just be cash out refinance. How many of you recently have gone to do a cash out refinance and then realized that you did it wrong in the acquisition. You purchased it wrong. You didn't add something to the final CD and one of 2 things. As a result of that, you either had to leave money on the table, or you have to wait to get your capital back.

69
00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:56.739
CAELI RIDGE: That's the question.

70
00:15:02.130 --> 00:15:23.420
CAELI RIDGE: Oh, good! This is looking good, so it looks like most of you might be up, really up to speed with what those rules are. We're gonna go over them, anyway. so so far nobody has has made that mistake of purchasing a investment property under the expectation. You're gonna do a cash out refinance, and you missed the new rules that would have a

71
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:25.350
CAELI RIDGE: either made you wait.

72
00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:34.049
CAELI RIDGE: or B. You had to leave money on the table. Nobody's done that. That's actually excellent news. So congratulations to all of you, you're paying attention. okay.

73
00:15:35.140 --> 00:15:44.829
CAELI RIDGE: so let's talk about. I'm gonna ask a couple of questions. And in the chat we're gonna look at. Oh, I guess I can share the results. Okay, stop sharing. You guys get to see everyone else.

74
00:15:46.850 --> 00:15:55.010
CAELI RIDGE: I'm gonna have you guys put it in the chat. I think for me on the next one is going to be a little bit easier. So, starting with with conventional cash out refinance.

75
00:15:55.140 --> 00:15:57.410
CAELI RIDGE: does any? Can anybody tell me.

76
00:15:57.710 --> 00:16:08.490
CAELI RIDGE: What is the difference between having extra seasoning requirement versus not, and how you acquire the property? Does anybody know the difference between how you have to purchase the property.

77
00:16:08.650 --> 00:16:18.869
CAELI RIDGE: if I say it, I'm going to give it away. But does anybody know what you have to do in acquisition in order to remove any seasoning requirement on a cash out refinance.

78
00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:25.110
CAELI RIDGE: It's the difference between purchasing a property one way and purchasing it another way. Anybody?

79
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.860
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, it's the difference between

80
00:16:33.970 --> 00:16:37.850
CAELI RIDGE: paying cash for the property and using leverage.

81
00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:43.400
CAELI RIDGE: Yeah, Justin got it. I was. I was. I was saying it just as you were probably typing Justin.

82
00:16:43.410 --> 00:17:06.649
CAELI RIDGE: The difference in the conventional guidelines and the seasoning. The new seasoning requirement is specifically about paying cash versus using other people's money to acquire the property. Now one caveat when we talk about other people's money. Okay, if we use other people's money, and that leverage was recorded as a lean against the property

83
00:17:07.470 --> 00:17:34.960
CAELI RIDGE: that that will will change the seasoning. The seasoning requirement has now extended, and I'm not giving the actual new seasoning requirement, because that's one of my questions. I'm not going to give it away versus if you use other people's money. And it was not a lean recorded. It was just a private note. Your Buddy John or or Emily said, here's the money. Go! Do what you want. I trust you. I'm not going to record. Lean against the property now. I wouldn't do that. Chances are none of you would probably do that. But if it were a private

84
00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:40.460
CAELI RIDGE: note, some kind of a promissory note that was the key was not recorded

85
00:17:40.860 --> 00:17:48.340
CAELI RIDGE: with the county against the property. then that scenario would fall into an all cache purchase.

86
00:17:48.430 --> 00:18:01.380
CAELI RIDGE: Okay? So the difference in seasoning is cash acquisition versus using leverage, and if you've used leverage, it would apply if it was a recorded lean. If it's not a recorded lean, we're gonna treat it more like a cash purchase. Okay.

87
00:18:01.610 --> 00:18:10.100
CAELI RIDGE: the seasoning requirement. Who knows what the new seasoning requirement is for? Cash out refinance hash out refinancing conventionally.

88
00:18:11.020 --> 00:18:15.189
CAELI RIDGE: Yes, Chris, nice. One year, 12 months. Who knows what it used to be?

89
00:18:18.790 --> 00:18:27.279
CAELI RIDGE: 6 months. Good, you guys! Excellent! So they extended the the wait time, the seasoning time by 6 months. So if you use leverage.

90
00:18:27.550 --> 00:18:37.289
CAELI RIDGE: it's no longer 6 months. You gotta wait a year to do a cash out refinance. Now, a very, very important distinction and people constantly mistake this.

91
00:18:37.310 --> 00:18:45.129
CAELI RIDGE: there is a very distinct difference between a rate and term refinance and a cash out refinance. I want you guys to really focus on this for a second. Okay.

92
00:18:45.350 --> 00:18:55.809
CAELI RIDGE: if you did use somebody else's money, you use leverage. It is a recorded lean, and all you care about doing is paying off that existing lean plus the new closing costs.

93
00:18:55.990 --> 00:19:12.589
CAELI RIDGE: Some people in their mind thinks that's a cash out refinance because they didn't necessarily come to the table with with any money depending on the terms of the first loan. Right? That that short-term bridge money loan. that's a rate in term refi guys. The only time it's cash out is when you are physically getting cash in hand.

94
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:19.299
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, so make sure that you understand that distinction a rate in term refinance. No seasoning required

95
00:19:20.300 --> 00:19:25.649
CAELI RIDGE: cash out. Refinance when you get cash in hand is when seasoning is required. If

96
00:19:25.870 --> 00:19:37.920
CAELI RIDGE: you have secured leverage recorded, lean against the property. Okay, everybody clear on that. I mean feel free to to wave your hand, or, you know, give the thumbs up, or whatever you can do on your thing if you have questions, please let me know.

97
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:54.860
CAELI RIDGE: very, very important. when we talk about the the seasoning versus the non-seasoning, all of what I've described in every facet of everything I've talked about so far assumes that we need and are using

98
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.390
CAELI RIDGE: the Arv

99
00:19:57.040 --> 00:19:59.969
CAELI RIDGE: okay to make things even more complicated

100
00:20:00.020 --> 00:20:03.640
CAELI RIDGE: if the deal is okay, to use your purchase price

101
00:20:04.650 --> 00:20:10.509
CAELI RIDGE: very rarely the case. But if you can use the purchase price versus a higher Arv a praise value.

102
00:20:11.020 --> 00:20:16.290
CAELI RIDGE: Then the seasoning issues are no longer an issue anymore. We can go immediately without seasoning.

103
00:20:17.170 --> 00:20:18.980
CAELI RIDGE: If we're using the purchase price.

104
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:41.640
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, I won't focus too much on that, because it's such a rare situation, and I think it confuses people a lot. But if you have questions, feel free to to ask me everything that I'm talking about with the seasoning and the leverage and the cash, etc., assumes that we need to make the deal work, the appraise value or after repair value, whatever the case may be. All right.

105
00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:43.740
CAELI RIDGE: okay.

106
00:20:44.350 --> 00:20:51.480
CAELI RIDGE: let's say that. Let's let's take the cash, purchase a step further. this is another common mistake

107
00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:57.979
CAELI RIDGE: the rule related to how much cash you can get back in hand. Does anybody know the rule

108
00:20:58.110 --> 00:21:13.389
CAELI RIDGE: that tells you if you paid X for it, and we know what the Ltv maximums are. Let's just say it's 75% of the Arv, that's our Max Ltb. Does it? Can anybody tell me what the Max cache you are entitled to get back the absolute

109
00:21:13.530 --> 00:21:24.729
CAELI RIDGE: highest dollar amount without seasoning? Right? We're in that space where we paid cash for it. We haven't used leverage. We don't have to wait 12 months. Does anybody know how much maximum you can get back in hand.

110
00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:35.509
CAELI RIDGE: All right. The answer is, whatever is listed as your total acquisition cost on your final closing disclosure.

111
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:53.199
CAELI RIDGE: So if you paid a hundred $1,000 for the property. and there was $50,000 in renovation. but that $50,000 was paid the day after closing. and that was sent to the general contractor the day after closing, and your final closing disclosure only said $100,000 on it.

112
00:21:53.320 --> 00:22:04.699
CAELI RIDGE: The answer is 100,000 plus whatever maybe minor costs were associated with that that could be part of it. Those are your acquisition costs listed on that final closing disclosure, and that is the maximum

113
00:22:04.830 --> 00:22:06.440
CAELI RIDGE: on a cash purchase.

114
00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:29.560
CAELI RIDGE: unless you have 12 months seasoning. In which point, then it doesn't matter anymore. But if you want to get that cash back before the the year is up which most of us are not going to tight. Want to type our capital for a year unless I guess it's some massive extended rehab thing that's going to take a year, anyway, in which case it doesn't matter. But if you want to get your capital back sooner. The rule is, you cannot get more money back than is listed

115
00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:35.050
CAELI RIDGE: on that final closing disclosure. So then the next follow up question ends up being

116
00:22:35.350 --> 00:22:42.620
CAELI RIDGE: well, how I I have to pay the general contractor before they start the work right. How how do I do that? How do I get that on on the

117
00:22:42.830 --> 00:22:48.229
CAELI RIDGE: the final CD, the answer is, we work with an escrow company that will do what's called an escrow. Hold back.

118
00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:58.799
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, both the acquisition. The purchase price and the renovation cost will be listed on the final closing disclosure. So in my example, $150 is going to be listed there.

119
00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:09.159
CAELI RIDGE: the Escrow company that will facilitate, and as for a holdback, will distribute the 50,000 to the general contractor in draws that have been pre-approved by you.

120
00:23:09.810 --> 00:23:20.090
CAELI RIDGE: Okay? So you've you've got that that protection in place so that you're not just handing $50,000 off to a general contractor, that you may or may not have a relationship with before any of the work has begun.

121
00:23:20.830 --> 00:23:32.590
CAELI RIDGE: It is very, very, very important that if you're expecting a scenario where the Arv is so high and our Ltv. Maximums would allow you to get a full 150,000 back.

122
00:23:32.810 --> 00:23:43.140
CAELI RIDGE: that that number, both of those numbers is listed on your final closing disclosure. because otherwise you're only going to get the 100 grand. You're leaving 50,000 on the table.

123
00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:53.969
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, let's say that that's not a a a scenario that you can. you have any control over, and maybe it's already happened. But the renovation was only 5 grand.

124
00:23:54.120 --> 00:24:09.890
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, depending on what the Arv is leaving. 5,000 on the table is probably not going to be a make or break for for most people, especially if you're getting back the entire other acquisition costs. Right? That's almost 100% leverage. So it's probably not the difference between

125
00:24:09.990 --> 00:24:16.219
CAELI RIDGE: you know, whether you would be willing to wait or not. I guess it depends on what that A or B comes out to be.

126
00:24:16.340 --> 00:24:31.300
CAELI RIDGE: if well, here's another scenario. Okay, let's say that that you've got you did it right. And you had a hundred 50,000 on the final closing disclosure. And just, I'm just throwing out stupid numbers. The Arv comes in at 300,000.

127
00:24:31.760 --> 00:24:40.359
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, somebody do the mental math for me. What's what's 75 of of 300,000? I can't do mental math. You guys know this about me. Come on. Who's got it? Let's see who's first.

128
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.609
CAELI RIDGE: Am I? First 225,000.

129
00:24:45.730 --> 00:24:53.750
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, who got that? Chris got it? Chris is on on time. so 225,000. Okay, that let's just say this is a real deal.

130
00:24:53.850 --> 00:25:10.790
CAELI RIDGE: And I have a hundred 50,000. That's my total acquisition cost my purchase price and my renovation all in. That's every cent that I've spent. I got it on the CD. I did it all right. But my value comes in at 300,000. Okay, I've seen stuff like this happen. It's fairly rare. But whatever we'll talk about it,

131
00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:21.559
CAELI RIDGE: am I going to refinance right now? And I just closed on it, and the renovation is going to be done in in 3 weeks? Right? And that's all the money that I have to tie up for

132
00:25:21.710 --> 00:25:26.700
CAELI RIDGE: my next acquisition. Am I going to leave 75,000 on the table

133
00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:29.790
CAELI RIDGE: and get my money now.

134
00:25:29.990 --> 00:25:34.110
CAELI RIDGE: and you know, keep going. Or am I going to wait 12 months

135
00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:39.309
CAELI RIDGE: and and get it out then, and and just let my money sit.

136
00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:41.460
CAELI RIDGE: or

137
00:25:41.890 --> 00:25:56.990
CAELI RIDGE: potentially. What if I were going to instead, go get some kind of a short term bridge long, a hard money long, a private money loan. Okay. Interest rates are going to be higher. You have a second set of closing costs that might cost you 10 grand agram. Whatever it is.

138
00:25:57.170 --> 00:26:05.420
CAELI RIDGE: you get the full thing out. Then you come back to us, and then we do a right in term refinance. No seasoning is required on rate and term right?

139
00:26:06.730 --> 00:26:30.349
CAELI RIDGE: So that could be a workaround. If you find yourself in a situation where you've done everything right, and the praise value comes in X higher than and than expected. You have a lot more capital sitting on the table that you could get your hands on. That would be an awesome workaround scenario for you to accommodate getting that cash without having to wait. It does require, you know, 2 sets of closing costs, but if the total closing cost ends up being $20,000,

140
00:26:30.350 --> 00:26:42.069
CAELI RIDGE: and you're $75,000 richer than what you were going to be before. Okay, I'll take the 55,000 and not have to wait 12 months anyway. Those are things that you can do. Just remember the differences between the cash out

141
00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:59.790
CAELI RIDGE: and the right in term refinance. Anybody have any questions so far about? Let me look back through. Were there questions on here? interesting. So you can't pull sweat, equity out, even if it's under the Max. 75 under the L. TV. Chris, would you? let me unmute you?

142
00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:05.289
CAELI RIDGE: I want you to ask that question because I want to make sure I answer it correctly. And I'm not sure I understand it. Where's Chris?

143
00:27:08.890 --> 00:27:14.869
Chris Barrett: Thanks, really. So yeah, this was actually interesting. So this happened on my or

144
00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:28.280
Chris Barrett: where they would, I purchase this property in 2,022 renovated has a duplex, or, on behalf hold out a he lock on it and then renovated the other half.

145
00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:36.390
Chris Barrett: And the other basically wanted to pull that. You know that equity pay myself back this spring.

146
00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:46.550
Chris Barrett: and they only allowed me to take cash out for my expenses for the total property. Essentially so, even though

147
00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:52.580
Chris Barrett: my the property appraised at 5, 30. I bought it for 350,

148
00:27:52.820 --> 00:27:58.929
Chris Barrett: and I spent $68,000 in renovations.

149
00:27:59.050 --> 00:28:01.810
Chris Barrett: And so the

150
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:10.639
Chris Barrett: the total in was 410,000 or something like that. But the total wasn't on the on the final CD right? Right?

151
00:28:11.010 --> 00:28:24.019
Chris Barrett: What was the what was the month of purchase the month of purchases. February first, 2,022. You're good, you gotta hear me, and so I should have been good, but they still wouldn't play ball.

152
00:28:24.090 --> 00:28:26.450
CAELI RIDGE: Was it a conventional loan?

153
00:28:26.530 --> 00:28:39.760
Chris Barrett: It was? No, it was originally a commercial 5 year balloon, but a but a a credit union bought out the lender in. He was not interested in

154
00:28:40.210 --> 00:28:56.830
Chris Barrett: cooperating, basically with anything that was going on on the investment sphere of things. But my question comes from. if in that same situation, if the numbers were the same and the appraisal value

155
00:28:57.060 --> 00:29:13.280
Chris Barrett: is much higher than basically your cost. Taking you back to that 75% loan to value. Can you not take out that extra equity then, even though you didn't spend that money on it?

156
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:29.359
Chris Barrett: It's my question. So if I again, if I bought it, say, say, it's worth 600. I bought it for 3 50. I've spent 70,000 on renovations. But there was probably like 10% ish left of equity in there. So you can't take that cash out, then on that 10%.

157
00:29:29.370 --> 00:29:32.499
CAELI RIDGE: Not until not so if it was not listed on the HUD

158
00:29:32.600 --> 00:29:43.889
CAELI RIDGE: right? It wasn't. Wasn't listed on there. And it wasn't part of leverage that we're simply paying off. The answer is, no, not until you've hit the full 12 months, unless

159
00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:47.510
CAELI RIDGE: the scenario that I just gave you. If I went and got another loan

160
00:29:47.750 --> 00:30:03.600
CAELI RIDGE: paid some extra fees, you know, a higher interest rate for a month or 2. Those those loans aren't going to have any prepayment penalties, and then turned around and did a rate in term refinance to get rid of that higher rate loan where you got all your cash because they're not going to have the same seasoning restrictions, or they shouldn't. And if they do.

161
00:30:04.150 --> 00:30:17.789
CAELI RIDGE: you need, you guys need to call me because we have lots of of options for the shorter term money. That won't. We won't apply any any seasoning, so you can get your cash, and then we'll just simply do it right in term refinance and rate in term, refinances can go to 80% guys.

162
00:30:18.030 --> 00:30:32.619
CAELI RIDGE: So there's a little bit more room. Obviously, remember, the higher the L TV loan to value the higher the rate is going to be. But you know we have to factor in and and do the math and see how that all plays out. But That would be a perfect example, Chris, of

163
00:30:32.870 --> 00:30:44.469
CAELI RIDGE: if there's enough spread between what you actually have into it and what it really appraises for it probably is worth going and paying 2 sets of closing costs. If there's enough spread, if it's 5 grand or 10 grand.

164
00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:58.010
CAELI RIDGE: I think I I did you say? 10 grand or 10? I don't. I don't remember what you said, but you know doing to to refinances one where you're not limited to seasoning. You get all the cash.

165
00:30:58.460 --> 00:31:05.539
CAELI RIDGE: and then a rate term refinance to get rid of the the higher rate into some 30 or fixed lower rate mortgage

166
00:31:05.850 --> 00:31:11.090
CAELI RIDGE: that would be your workaround if you didn't want to wait the 12 months. Otherwise you're going to wait the 12 months.

167
00:31:12.350 --> 00:31:21.050
CAELI RIDGE: Yeah. okay, let me see if there's any other questions. Thank you so much. Chris. Really appreciate the questions and the interactiveness.

168
00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:35.409
CAELI RIDGE: Let's see what Jim says. What about. If you need to rehab. Can you refinance? The air be after rehab is completed? Jim, I think I understand. I'm going to unmute you, too. Let's let's have you ask your question, would you?

169
00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:37.040
CAELI RIDGE: Yeah, I think.

170
00:31:37.060 --> 00:31:49.759
Jim Gillespie: can you hear me? Okay, yeah. I think you answered that with Chris, because I'm a following what the protocol would have to be. because I I was under the impression that

171
00:31:49.770 --> 00:32:05.629
Jim Gillespie: you know you could the right term refinance. I didn't realize there was an extra layer in there where you had to maybe use hard money. But in Chris's examples there's so much equity in there you would want to get that out as quickly as you can.

172
00:32:05.780 --> 00:32:07.350
Jim Gillespie: Yeah. So it did it.

173
00:32:07.930 --> 00:32:16.609
Jim Gillespie: I mean, can you use? Well, no, I guess you probably couldn't, so you would probably want to do a hard money. and how quickly

174
00:32:16.840 --> 00:32:34.759
Jim Gillespie: I don't. Some hard money lenders require you to wait a couple of months before you can refinance out of them. I mean, could you try and get out of it within a month? If you yeah ours, you could? There's there's not going to be any restriction. Right? They'll get maybe a month's worth of interest, and they're making it on the fees upfront, you know. Right? Yeah.

175
00:32:34.840 --> 00:33:02.969
CAELI RIDGE: But if you have that much equity in it, then it makes complete sense. You know there may be another 11 months to get it done.

176
00:33:03.030 --> 00:33:21.469
CAELI RIDGE: Yeah, that would be your workaround to not having to wait if that were the scenario, and there was an extra bit of of cash you can get your hands on, and it didn't fall into any of the current scenarios. Go get a a short term, private money loan, and and then right in term refinance it because there is no seasoning requirement to take the Arv

177
00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:33.600
CAELI RIDGE: and simply pay off the existing lean plus whatever the new closing costs are. So if the numbers were correct, you wouldn't have to come out of pocket with anything right. It will be rolled in there. excellent, thank you, Jim. Did you? Anything else?

178
00:33:33.630 --> 00:33:37.449
CAELI RIDGE: No, no, that's it. Thank you. Thank you.

179
00:33:37.490 --> 00:33:48.149
CAELI RIDGE: okay, let me take a look at my notes. You guys, what have I not gotten into? What time is it? Okay? We got it. We're a little over. We'll we'll just finish this out. I talked about that. So

180
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:52.579
CAELI RIDGE: you know, if you find yourself in a place, and I know this is a lot.

181
00:33:52.720 --> 00:34:05.419
CAELI RIDGE: Please keep in mind that we here at Ridge we eat and breathe and sleep this stuff. We do it all day long. It's committed to memory, and even when it is, and I have cheat sheets and and team members that I can go to and say, You know.

182
00:34:05.910 --> 00:34:23.339
CAELI RIDGE: what? What's the the newest on this thing? you guys don't have the same access that we have, and you're certainly not doing this stuff all day every day. So what I would recommend for anybody that is questioning themselves. Or did she say this, or was it this? Or I can't remember that one extra detail. It doesn't matter. Send us the scenario

183
00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:30.940
CAELI RIDGE: ideally. If you, if you really want to be slick, send us a draft closing disclosure before you sign in blood.

184
00:34:30.989 --> 00:34:45.919
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, let us see it. We want to make sure that everything is line itemized, the the way in which you envisioned it, and will maximize whatever your return and or your cash back is going to be, so that you're not leaving any money on the table. Okay? So that's what I would suggest. I would say.

185
00:34:46.210 --> 00:34:57.639
CAELI RIDGE: Send us a draft of of the CD. The scenario. Let's go through it, and then we can give you our advice. And if we see something that that sticks out that we think might be a better solution, we'll offer that up to

186
00:34:57.940 --> 00:35:06.189
CAELI RIDGE: Okay, so let's just real quickly. Let's get into non-qm. And all in one. And then if there's any trailing questions we can, we can certainly do that.

187
00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:11.700
CAELI RIDGE: So not really any change with the non. Qm, it's still 6 months.

188
00:35:11.770 --> 00:35:18.279
CAELI RIDGE: So I guess that would be another thing. If you you know, let's say none of the other things that we've talked about fit your model.

189
00:35:18.540 --> 00:35:38.329
CAELI RIDGE: Non. Qm. Hasn't made the change. We're still at 6 months to pull that cash out. Remember, on non. Qm, though, you guys are gonna have prepayment penalties. So that may not be the best outlet or resource. because they're minimum. Usually about 3 years. You can buy premium penalties out, but they're extremely expensive. Generally, it's not going to work.

190
00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:40.080
CAELI RIDGE: So you know.

191
00:35:40.290 --> 00:35:51.560
CAELI RIDGE: just keep that in mind. You're gonna have to either pay a pre-parent penalty to refinance which many of us are going to be doing come next year, maybe later this year. So there's that. And then, finally, I want to touch on the All in one.

192
00:35:51.560 --> 00:36:12.949
CAELI RIDGE: Those rules have not changed either within the seasoning. They are also still. At 6 months now I would let you know that there may be a time here in the near future. I may be announcing that they changed it, because the all in one is notorious for following Fanny, Freddy, so that that 6 months seasoning for the on one right now, given all the variables we've discussed might end up being 12 months soon.

193
00:36:13.120 --> 00:36:34.879
CAELI RIDGE: So fy on that, but one thing on the all in one that I did want to make you guys aware of a new guideline change. And this is to our advantage. Usually it's it feels like it's not so. This is kind of nice information. for those of the those of you that remember we were capped on non are occupied to 250,000 in cash back. And, to be more specific, let's say that you had

194
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:43.279
CAELI RIDGE: a million dollar, you you you were eligible for a million dollar line of credit, but you only owed 500,000 on that line of credit

195
00:36:43.700 --> 00:36:45.609
CAELI RIDGE: you would not be able to get

196
00:36:46.840 --> 00:37:09.270
CAELI RIDGE: a million dollar line of credit. You'd get a 7 50 because we were capped at 2 50 cash out, cash back. Even if you didn't take it at closing you would only have that 2 50 on the all in one as immediate access on that line of credit, they just up that to 500,000. So, going back to my example, if your scenario allowed for a million dollar line of credit, and you only owed 500,000.

197
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:21.529
CAELI RIDGE: That $500,000 difference of immediate access to that equity is acceptable now, but that is the cap. It used to be 2 50. Now it's 500,000. so that was, that was really good news. I was excited to hear about that?

198
00:37:22.250 --> 00:37:31.720
CAELI RIDGE: okay, questions. Anybody have anything? that let me just talk about next week I got a couple of things I'm going to answer here.

199
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:43.329
Karlie Libby: Carly, you can see the chats right. Will you check really quickly to see if there's any other questions that maybe I missed?

200
00:37:43.540 --> 00:37:53.700
CAELI RIDGE: Yes. Oh, good, thank you. Thank you. Okay, we'll look through. I think that I I see who my my winners are, and we're probably just because I can't. I just could never not decide. I think there'll be a few of you to get the

201
00:37:54.050 --> 00:37:59.370
CAELI RIDGE: they get the the prize. Not everybody gets a trophy, but we'll we'll hand out a few prices today.

202
00:37:59.390 --> 00:38:09.859
CAELI RIDGE: okay. So next week before I do that next week, I want to share with you guys, we're going to talk about the 10, the top 10 things not to do

203
00:38:10.130 --> 00:38:33.259
CAELI RIDGE: when getting into a mortgage, transaction, refinance, purchase whatever top 10 things not to do when getting into a mortgage transaction, and the following week will probably be the top thing. Top 10 things to do when getting into or getting ready to secure financing for real estate. Whether it's your primary or your rental, or your second home, it doesn't matter. All of them is, is all of them would be applicable

204
00:38:33.260 --> 00:38:43.919
CAELI RIDGE: And then beyond that, this is for you, Eustace. I I believe we will have another guest speaker, someone that's gonna come on that I've known for many, many years. And talk about self, directed Ira. Funding.

205
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:55.580
CAELI RIDGE: We have outlets and avenues for this, but she is the master of all masters related to that kind of funding, as you know. If you're if you have a a self, directed Ira.

206
00:38:55.710 --> 00:39:10.989
CAELI RIDGE: it has to be non recourse. You're purchasing the investment inside that that asset class right? And those loans are quite a bit different than than other things. So she's going to come on, and I hope she'll be here. What's today? The thirteenth? It might be the I don't know when it's going to be

207
00:39:11.090 --> 00:39:33.070
