Let's say I found 30-unit apartment deal that I could acquire for $1M. I have 10 friends willing to invest ~$20k each to reach a ~$200k down payment. I’d be looking for a 70-80% loan.
I have over 4 years experience working on development and apartment acquisition deals, though never as a principal or partner in the deal. I would have a detailed business plan with all aspects of the project, strategy and financials outlined in gret detail.
I have 710 personal credit, but do not own a home, nor have I ever owned a piece of real estate. I know it’s said that commercial lenders only look at the property, but every deal I’ve been a part of here, my boss’s personal finances are reviewed in depth by the lenders. Granted, we get construction loans mostly, but even when we get acquisition loans with a portion set aside for improvements, their personal financials are required.
Once the economy clears up a bit (I’m not expecting a loan in this market), how realistic is it for me to think I could get the deal financed as the person running the deal? Would I be looking at a recourse deal for sure? What if I have a negative net worth with minimal assets – what is there to take from me?
