@Wendy GM Lahn, Esq., MBA, LL.M. do you know any wholesale investors who would finance a condo with building violations but the condo building HOA started worm to fix the line items on the violations. It is not litigation but rather somewhat of citation. The court is not real circuit or district Court. Its the city of Chicago and often referred to as administrative hearing. It’s a joke and shame. Many people refer administrative hearing in Chicago as Kangaroo County.

Most Mortgage lenders frown upon financing homes on large acreage. VA loans allow homes on large acreage such as a house on 80 acres. However, other loan programs have issues on financing homes on large acreage. HUD, the parent of FHA, will only cap the lot size up to 10 acres. Any acreage larger than 10 acres will not be given any value. USDA LOANS should not be a problem. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not finance homes on large acreage.

Late payments is the worst thing a lender wants to see. It is alright to have collections, charge-off accounts, late payments and other derogatory credit tradelines. However, all lenders want to see timely payment in the past 12 months. For FHA loans manual underwriting, you need 24 months of timely payments. VA loans you need one year of timely payments in the past 12 months.

Condotels, short for condominium hotels, are a type of hybrid property that combines the features of a condominium with those of a hotel. They are typically large buildings with individual units that are owned by individuals, similar to traditional condominiums. However, unlike traditional condos, condotel units are typically managed and operated by a hotel company.

Condotel owners have the option to use their units as personal vacation homes or rent them out as hotel rooms through the hotel’s rental program. When the unit is rented out, the hotel management takes care of guest services, housekeeping, maintenance, and marketing, much like a traditional hotel.

Condotels offer several benefits to both owners and guests. Owners can generate rental income from their units when they are not using them, and they also have access to the property’s amenities and services. Guests, on the other hand, can enjoy the comforts of a hotel stay with the added space and amenities of a condominium.

However, condotels also have some potential drawbacks. Owners typically have to pay management fees and may be subject to restrictions on how often they can use their units. Additionally, condotel units may be subject to fluctuations in rental income and property values, depending on factors such as tourism trends and the performance of the hotel management.

Overall, condotels can be an attractive option for individuals looking for a combination of vacation home ownership and rental income potential, but it’s essential to carefully consider the financial implications and management structure before investing in one.

A cash-out refinance mortgage is a type of mortgage refinancing where the homeowner borrows more than what is currently owed on the property and receives the difference in cash. In essence, the homeowner replaces their existing mortgage with a new one for a higher amount, and then receives the excess funds as a lump sum payment at closing.

Here’s how it typically works:

1. Assessment of Home Equity: The homeowner’s property is appraised to determine its current market value and the amount of equity they have built up in the home.

2. Refinance Application: The homeowner applies for a new mortgage loan that is larger than the current outstanding mortgage balance, reflecting the desired cash-out amount.

3. Underwriting and Approval: The lender evaluates the homeowner’s creditworthiness, income, and other financial factors to determine if they qualify for the new loan.

4. Closing Process: If approved, the homeowner closes on the new mortgage loan. During the closing process, they receive the difference between the new loan amount and the existing mortgage balance in the form of a lump sum cash payment.

5. Repayment: The homeowner now owes a larger amount on their mortgage, and they will make monthly payments based on the new loan terms, including interest on the additional cash borrowed.

A cash-out refinance can be a way for homeowners to access the equity they’ve built up in their homes to fund home improvements, pay off high-interest debt, cover major expenses like medical bills or college tuition, or for other financial needs. However, it’s essential to carefully consider the implications of increasing mortgage debt and to ensure that the new loan terms are favorable before proceeding with a cash-out refinance.
