- Refinance loans on currently owned apartment buildings
- Construction financing to either build new or rehab existing apartment buildings
- Purchase mortgage to buy a cash flowing apartment building

minnesota: WOW! Life is GREAT!!!! - 04/14/09 02:47 PM
WOW!
This market is awesome!
I really think the Minneapolis & St Paul, MN REO Rehab property market is better for real estate and finance professionals than the refinance and housing boom. Things are getting so busy I have had to solicit new banks because the ones I have been doing all of my Purchase Rehab Rent (PRR) and Purchase Rehab Sale (PRS) mortgages with can not handle the volume.
It would be great to hear the success stories of others out there investing, selling real estate or in the mortgage finance business.

minnesota: Underwriting Construction Mortgage Loans - 11/01/08 06:57 AM

In the most basic situation, that of an individual building a home for themselves, a business building a property for business use, or an investor building a property to rent out, the fundamental guideline is for the lender to imagine once the loan has been fully extended and converted into a normal mortgage and the building is occupied, whether the individual, business, or investor can afford to pay back the loan on a monthly basis.
