How Much Can I Refinance?

I am buying the following 10 unit building with an all cash offer:

Gross revenues: $41,185
Vacancy loss (5%): 2,059
Effective gross: 39,126

Expenses:
Prop taxes: 5955
Utilities: 1710
Trash: 540
Insurance: 2365
Property Management: 2000
Misc: 500
Capital reserve: $4118

Total exp: $17,188

NOI: $21,938
purchase price: $155,000
cap rate: 14.15%

After I purchase the building I would like to refinance and pull 80% out. Prevailing cap rates in this area are 9-10%. Can I use a 10% cap rate to value this property (i.e. $219,380) and get 80% of that value (which would be $175,504) out of the refi? Or can I only pull out 80% of the original purchase price?

Any advice from bankers out there would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It would be 80% of the appraised value…not purchase price.

Thanks Patti. Would the appraised value usually be based on the NOI? Would it be reasonable to use a 10% cap rate in this case?

Lenders will use an official appraiser (certified MAI appraiser). The appraisal uses a lot of different information to come up with the value.

If you’re just looking for an estimate, then use the local cap rate for that type of building. Just be aware that cap rates & appraisal values usually do not match.

Do not make all cash offer. put 10% or 20% . Keep the rest in an interest bearind account. Let that money work for you. If you need it… it is liquid! LEVERAGE. USE OPP, Are you down with OPP? Now you do not want Uncle Sam to have your money do you? TAXES… Tax- write off, if in LLC… business expense to write off… It is not what you make, it is want you keep. If you do not want to keep it … give it to the Nigerian Scam… Snob story. :slight_smile:

Even in an all cash purchase you should have an appraisal conducted. You tell the appraiser what your intentions are and have them estimate what value would be used when you attempt to refi.
