ASK MIKE MONDAYS - Michael, what are the LIQUIDITY & NET WORTH requirements from a lender to qualify for an APARTMENT LOAN?

Buying a large apartment building is NOT a NO CASH/ NO NET WORTH/ NO CREDIT business model. The lender needs to see the depth of your balance sheet. Your lender is going to loan you thousands of dollars and wants to make sure that they are comfortable with your balance sheet. Michael breaks down what typical apartment lenders need.

Episode 162 - You don’t need a HARVARD MBA to buy CLASS C apartments…but it doesn’t hurt!

Jack Langenberg and Tom Lafferty are business partners in a 154 unit apartment building. Jack came from a corporate background and has a Harvard MBA; Tom is a local firefighter. These two guys play to each other strengths. These team mates had to assume the current loan on the property. If they did not assume the loan, they would have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more in price. They also applied for a supplemental loan (second lien) from the current loan servicer. They wanted to get the highest leverage possible. James discusses some of acquisition risks you may incur; IF THE SELLER takes their foot off the gas with occupancy and net rental income falls.
