Here is my feedback Big Joe:
own a 2 family property ($700k value, $200k total debt). I have about $75k liquid in addition to the equity in my 2fam
Assuming that you could tap the equity of that property until you have a combined loan-to-value of 80%, this means you could get an additional $360M, which combined with the $75M you have total $435M available for down payment.
I am looking at 60 unit, 4 store building with $605k income, $270k expenses, and a FIRST mortgage of $2,700,000 The seller is looking for $900k cash.
Assuming revenue and expenses are adequately represented {normally at this stage, revenue might be a bit inflated and expenses are understated}, you have a NOI of $335M, which results in an estimated valuation of $3,722M using a 9% cap rate. This seems in line with the amount the seller asking for $3,600M.
Take into consideration that the overall rate can increase depending on your market and that you are probably looking at 100% occupancy revenue there. You might want to go over those numbers with detail, and request copies of leases / tax returns.
FIRST mortgage of $2,700,000 (5.5% 5yr term, 30yr payout--- $184k/year P&I)
Is this assumable? Chances are that you could not even do a wrap around as most mortgages have clauses that prohibit this.
Would the $150K+ net cash flow, plus my excellent credit, plus my equity help me to get to get a second mortgage? If so, what would be the best way to go about it?
Well, you have $435M for this transaction, which means that you actually have $400M since you are probably going to spend at least $35M in closing costs. This leaves you with a financing need of $3,200M.
Getting a first mortgage loan for 75% and even 80% loan-to-value should not be much of a problem. This leaves you $320M {assuming best case scenario of 80% financing}. I seriously doubt that this first mortgage is assumable. In the last eight years analyzing commercial loan requests, I only remember two occasions where we let the buyer assume existing loans.
Commercial Banks would not mind doing the first mortgage, but I dont think many will be interested in the second position.
You will get non-bank lenders interested, but I would try to keep them just as junior lenders. Even if you have to pay 10% on the 2nd, it will be cheaper than having to pay 7% or higher on the whole amount.
Is there no chance of getting the seller to keep a $360M second mortgage?
Is there no chance of getting additional investors or partners?
The cash flow is nice and the valuation seems ok, but remember that a simple reduction in rental income of 5% takes revenue down to $575M, which results in NOI of $305M and a valuation of $3,388M using a 9% cap rate.
From what I have read so far, the deal could be done, but you need a junior lender or a partner involved in the mix.
Good luck
Thanks for the response.
I have gotten the revenue and expenses from the management company who I believe to be fairly objective at this point, but I will certainly do my due diligence before accepting these numbers as gospel.
I am told the First mortgage is very definitely assumable, but will confirm also.
I am sure I can tap my equity and pretty sure I can get a partner, but was trying to be greedy and do the whole thing myself.
Question, even if the occupancy falls by 5 or even 10%, if I'm mainly interested in keeping this property very long term (mainly for my kids' college), can I not be NOT TOO concerned with the fall in valuation?
