Help! I Can’t Get a DSCR Loan Because of My Credit

Many investors are struggling to get a DSCR loan because of their low credit score! However, there is a magical solution that can easily solve this problem. It is called a 911 usage loan! Here at The Cash Flow Company we help people raise their score so that they can get the loan they need. On average we see 7 out of 10 people struggle with a usage problem. How can they get back on their feet? Let’s take a closer look at how you can magically improve your credit score today!

Usage problem uncovered.

Usage loans are very common in this business because many investors have a usage problem. The usage problem is created when investors excessively use their personal credit cards or personal loans to pay for their business expenses. This will affect you everywhere you go, whether it’s a flip project or you’re applying for a DSCR loan. Here at The Cash Flow Company we deal a lot with credit score struggles, fix and flip properties, and rental properties. No matter what the project is, having good credit is the key to getting the funding you need.

Credit score struggles.

If you are above 30% usage on your credit cards, your  score  will begin to decrease. This percentage is also referred to as the credit utilization rate. Investors who come in with a 640 or a 660 credit score often need to increase their score to 700. In doing so, they will be able to get either the LTV or rate they need to create cash flow. Nowadays rates are still in the 7’s or 8’s. That is why it is so important to get the best rate you can in order to maximize both your LTV and cash flow. 

How can a private loan help your credit?

One quick way to increase your credit score is to use a 911 loan. This loan is used to pay down credit card debt by using private money. These private funds are secured with a property to ensure the repayment of the loan. Once the credit cards are taken off of the credit report and the new statements cycle, credit scores will then reflect the changes. 

Where do you get started?

The first thing that you need to do is run a simulation. We ask investors to do a simulation on MyFico, Credit Karma, or Experian to see how paying off a credit card will impact their credit score. We have seen people max out their credit cards at $3K, while others are maxed out at $175K. These maxed out credit cards are not only impacting their credit scores, but their DTI as well. To clarify, DTI stands for the debt to income ratio. 

For example: A client in Texas just went through a simulation and his credit score went up 100 points. He went from 653 to over 753 by simply paying off the credit cards that he had maxed out. 

High credit score means higher cash flow.

In the following example we are going to look at how credit scores can drastically impact your ability to qualify for a DSCR loan. Not only will a lower credit score increase your interest rate, but it will decrease the cash flow for your property as well. Remember, hurdle number one is making sure that both you and your property qualify for the loan. By taking 2 to 4 weeks to get the 911 usage loan, you will be able to not only buy the property, but you can then refinance it later on. This method also provides the opportunity for you to move over any remaining balances over to a business credit card.

Loan Type Property LTV of 80% Net Rent
DSCR $312K $250K $1,800
Credit Score Interest Rate Monthly Payment Can it Qualify?
680 8.8% $1,976 No
760 7.45% $1,740 Yes

Learn this magic trick today! 

Business credit cards are an excellent way to separate business expenses from your personal accounts. These credit cards are easy to get and work the same as personal credit cards. By moving expenses over to business credit cards, it wipes the charges off of your personal credit completely. As a result, your credit score, cash flow, and ability to qualify will all increase. 

We are here to help!

Here at The Cash Flow Company we are here to help you get on the right path. Do you need to get your credit card debt off of your personal credit report? Contact us today to find out more about usage loans and how they can set you up for long term financing. Just to clarify, the usage loan is a private loan that does not show up on your credit for 60 to 90 days and won’t affect your DTI. Now is the time to set yourself up for success!

This Makes a HUGE Impact on Your Credit Score

Business Owners: This Makes a HUGE Impact on Your Credit Score

Many business owners wonder what will make the biggest impact on their credit score. The answer is using personal credit for business expenses! If you max out your personal credit card with business expenses and fail to make payments on time, then it will show up on your credit report. In order to be successful, it is imperative that you maintain your credit score. Those who do will be able to get approved for business credit cards and loans in the future. How can you prevent any further strain on your credit score? Let’s take a closer look. 

What is the credit utilization rate and how does it affect you?

The credit utilization rate is the sum of your balances divided by the amount that you were approved for. If you are above 20% of your credit utilization rate, it will lower your credit score. For example, if you have a $10K personal credit card and use $3K of it, then it will decrease your credit score. However, if you have a $5K business credit card and use $4800, your credit score will not be impacted. In many instances, your credit score will by using a business credit card as opposed to a personal credit card.

Business credit cards are a key to success.

Once you get into business credit cards, the banks will start offering you business loans as well. I receive offers almost weekly that are offering a $30K business loan or a term loan. Investors are always finding ways to bring money into their business so that they aren’t in a cash crunch. Part of that is using credit cards for down payments and escrow. By just going through one extra step to apply for business credit cards, you can continue to use credit cards without affecting your score.

Buying a property has never been easier!

A business credit card is a tool that will not only help you pay for business expenses, but it can also be used to purchase a property. There are services out there who can help you use your credit card to purchase a property as long as things are set up correctly. For example, if you have a $10K limit on a business credit card and want to buy a property for $5K, they can take it directly off of the credit card. That $5K can be used to pay the title company for the earnest money or down payment. In doing so, you can put the property under contract easily by just using a business credit card. Once the property is refinanced or sold, the money can be paid back. 

Create the flexibility you need to succeed! 

Business credit cards provide the flexibility you need to be successful.. The most important benefit to using them is that they will not impact your credit score if you run up the balances. Almost every investor runs up their balance. You are not alone! Don’t fall for the deceptive leverage of personal credit cards. By using more than 20%, it will not only affect your credit score, but it will also cost you more. 

Don’t let your business expenses affect your personal life.

While investors are trying to use the leverage that they have available, using personal credit just makes it harder. If you are a business owner who is doing flips and rental using your personal credit cards, it will affect your personal life. For example, if your wife wants to get a new car or you need a HELOC, you may not have the credit score or DTI that you need to qualify. Just to clarify, DTI is your debt to income ratio.The lenders who will be lending you money are going to see that you have $75K in credit cards and you will have to account for that in your income.

Make the change today!

Business credit cards make life easier for you in so many ways! Protect your credit score by separating business expenses from personal expenses today. Don’t make things harder on yourself! Those who make the switch to business credit cards will create the flexibility needed for business expenses, while maintaining your credit for future loans or projects.

70% of REI Investors Lose Money Because of THIS

I have been in real estate investing for 23 years. Within that time I’ve seen 70% of new investors lose money within the first year. Many of them purchase real estate courses for $10K to $30K in hopes of learning all of the tips and tricks. Blinded by the promise of instant success, many people don’t take the time to set themselves up properly. On the other hand, those who take things at a slower pace and follow a few simple steps, will have a better chance of winning. How can you avoid becoming part of the 70% of investors who lose money? Let’s take a closer look.

Simple steps to success.

First and foremost the most important thing that you need to focus on as a new real estate investor is taking simple steps. This includes looking at properties, finding people who can send properties to you, and securing the money you need. Here at The Cash Flow Company we recommend that you look at 200 properties, talk to 100 wholesalers, and talk to 100 lenders before you jump in to your first purchase. Those who are focused can get everything set up in a matter of weeks. While others may take longer to get set up because they can only set aside a few hours a day. By taking the time to consume and understand everything, you will set yourself up for success. 

Make money instead of lose money! 

Some seminars can be beneficial to real estate investing, however, that is not normally the case. Many people become wrapped up in the idea of investing without understanding all of the factors that come into play. While it’s not rocket science, you do need to work hard to set yourself up for success. Those who are new to real estate investing often get talked into taking courses. These average $10K to $30K and focus on how to fix and flip quickly and easily. Not only do you have to pay for it using credit cards, but you are encouraged to use their credit cards as well. This get rich quick method causes many to lose steam quickly because they are not talking to people in the business or looking at enough properties. While this method may work for some, it doesn’t work for most.

Take your time 

Surprisingly 70%  of REI investors lose money because they dive in before going through the simple steps. In doing so, investors often lose $20K to $30K, which in turn prevents them from purchasing their next property. Successful real estate investors ensure that they have 1 to 3 good deals before moving forward in purchasing more properties. Just to clarify, a good deal is one that makes money! Real estate investing is all about making money so that you can live the life you want!

5 valuable lessons learned in real estate investing

5 Valuable Lessons Learned in Real Estate Investing 

In the past 23 years, I’ve helped thousands of people become successful in real estate investing. Looking back over those years, there are several things that I would do differently to not only make me successful but also, ways to do it quicker. There are 5 valuable lessons that I’ve learned and want to share with you about real estate investing.

1. Take the fast track

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel! Find systems and people who have worked hard and copy them. Look at what they are doing, what their systems are, and what they are looking for, as well as what they are avoiding. Discover exactly how to win by exploring what makes sense for your investments and what doesn’t. There is so much noise out there! You want to make sure that you are watching the people who are doing great and ignore those who are just talking about doing good. Here are the top three things that you need to get on the fast track!

Properties:

A valuable lesson that every fast-track investor needs to learn is how to find good properties. Find and look at as many good properties as you can.

Funding:

The most important thing as a real estate investor is leverage and using other people’s money. Funding is available through banks, lenders, or individuals.

Put together a good team:

It is vital that you partner with good contractors, knowledgeable realtors, stagers, and property managers. By putting the whole team together, they can support you by knowing what you are looking for as well as what they can or can’t do.

2. Times VS Time

The question that all investors ask is, how long does it take to be successful? Success is heavily reliant on the number of times you practice evaluating properties, as well as exploring your lending options. The more you practice and look at properties, practice and comp out a property, and reach out to lenders, the more knowledgeable and confident you will become. It takes 100 times to walk through these steps before an investor becomes confident in the process. Some investors can achieve this in a week, while others may take 6 months to 6 years. Again, it’s not the amount of time it takes to be successful, it’s the number of times you practice.

3. Set your business up to win 

You must set up your business correctly from the beginning. To do this, make sure that your business is properly set up with the state, has a bank account, and has an office location. Every correct step will ensure that the business is set up to win the leverage game. One of the most important steps in this process is selecting your business name. Avoid putting “real estate” directly in your name because it will impact your funding moving forward. Instead, you can use “management”, a name, or a group in order to make your business name unique.  Once everything is established, find local banks that love to work with real estate investors. While national banks are great for unsecured lines of credit and credit cards, it is the local banks who will partner with you long term.

4. Create simple processes

Investors can easily become overwhelmed by all of the components that need to be considered before purchasing a property. By walking through the steps over and over again, it makes it easier to not only set up a simple process for yourself but then allows you to hand things over to others. Begin to find people who can support you and follow your established processes. You must ask yourself:

  • How do I comp out a property?
  • How do I walk through a property to see what needs to be fixed or repaired?
  • How do I pick a contractor?

5. Scale with flexibility

To add volume to your investments, you must bring in more people. However, these individuals are not on the payroll. More importantly, their partnership and expertise can guide you on the fast track to success. From having real estate agents help comp out properties, to bringing in more wholesalers, this can help you win with flexibility with your scalability. As long as you have your systems established, there is no ceiling to your success.

Bonus

6. Do whatever it takes

You must do whatever it takes to get you to where you want to be. Only you can determine what that means to you. Identify what you need to do upfront, and just do it! If you get into that mentality, you will be able to navigate the road to success within your market. The people who have the “do whatever it takes” attitude will not only win in this market but in every market thereafter!

Our goal is to make you successful! By following these 5 valuable lessons in real estate investing, you will be on the fast track to success! Watch our most recent video to find out more about these 5 valuable lessons.

Why business credit cards make real estate investing easier

Why business credit cards make real estate investing easier

70%-80% of investors are overwhelmed with business expenses and are resorting to using their personal credit. By using personal credit cards for business expenses, investors are jeopardizing their credit score and endangering the success of their business. How can you get your personal credit in good standing and back on track? What can you do to stabilize your business expenses? The answer to both of these questions is business credit cards. Let’s look closer at how they can make your life easier.

First, personal credit scores are no longer taking the hit.

While personal credit cards are easily accessible, they make life more complicated for investors. Whether it’s a fix and flip, or a rental property, expenses can easily add up and jeopardize your credit score. Putting expenses on personal credit cards drives down your score due to the utilization rate. This in turn makes everything harder, from trying to apply for a loan, to putting more money into the investment. The ultimate solution is business credit cards because they do not impact your credit score, nor do they have the same utilization rate restrictions. This is a simple step that every investor should be taking to alleviate future strain on personal credit scores.

Second, making things easier, faster, and cheaper

How can you make things easier, faster and cheaper for your business? The answer once again is applying for and using business credit cards! Once a card is established, you can start moving expenses over to consolidate balances, thus making your life easier. They have the same benefits as personal credit cards if not more! By using them more often and making payments in chunks, investors are able to increase their credit limits quickly. In doing so, personal credit scores will increase and create more leverage for additional loans, as well as create better funding options. 

Third, we are here to get you on track.

In having better credit scores, it then opens the door to endless possibilities that will create wealth. We can help you by providing a usage loan that can be used to pay down personal credit cards. With the utilization rate then decreased, your credit score will increase, allowing you to make the switch. We can help guide you through the entire process from setting up your business correctly, to researching credit cards, and provide usage loans to get you back on track. Don’t wait for corporate credit to take effect! Call or message us today to find out more.

Why You Should Fix Your Credit Score for the Current Market

Categories:

If you’re stuck with a bad credit score, a 911 loan could help you fix your credit to thrive in this competitive market.

One of the most common issues of investors we talk to is low credit score.

In the real estate world, when the Fed tightens everything up (as they have done recently), credit scores become more and more important. This means that the threshold of what qualifies as a “good” credit score goes up, and it’s almost impossible to get a loan if you don’t meet that threshold.

How can you fix that quickly so it doesn’t tank your investments?

The Changing Economic Landscape

Everyone used to have options. If your credit score was a little low, it was alright; you could still find someone willing to lend to you without too much penalty.

In recent years, things have shifted.

As the Fed tightens up, there’s less money going around, meaning banks don’t have as much money to lend as they used to. 

How do they solve this problem? 

They raise the requirements for getting a loan.

Now, instead of being minorly penalized for a low credit score, some people are finding it difficult to find loans at all. And some of the loans they do find are smaller and have significantly higher rates.

Some banks may not even look at your loan application if you don’t meet their credit score requirement. Therefore, to survive in this market, you need to fix your credit score.

Understanding Your Credit Score

The 2 largest factors that make up your credit score are payments and usage.

  • Payments look at whether or not you’re paying on time. 
  • Usage looks at how much of your total possible balance you’re using each month.

For example, if your usage limit is $10,000, and you’re frequently using $7,000 of that, you have 70% usage.

Ideally, FICO wants to see you using about 20%-30% of your available credit. Any higher than that, and you become riskier for the banks.

Especially when you’re beginning as a real estate investor, it can be so easy to rack up the usage: getting supplies at Home Depot, paying contractors, etc.

It’s all-too-common to see people have $50,000 or $100,000 on maxed out credit cards.

This is where a credit 911 loan comes into play to pay down debt.

How Can I Set Myself Up to Avoid Needing a 911 Loan?

The root of this problem is almost always using personal credit cards for business-level needs. 

Getting the right business credit card in the name of your investing company has a number of benefits:

  • It won’t report to your personal credit if you pay on time.
  • They don’t penalize high usage.
  • Some business cards even reward running up a larger balance.
  • Even if your business is brand new, if you apply for a business credit card with a high personal credit score, you’ll likely be approved.

We’ve partnered with Nav to help you find a business credit card that works well with real estate investing. 

As with a personal card, you can find cards that offer perks and rewards that appeal to you. Just make sure you look for ones that 1) don’t report to your personal credit and 2) like high usage.

Our goal is to help you fix your credit score and get your business in order so that you never need a 911 loan again!

80% of Real Estate Investors fail at taking this step:

A looming problem that 70%-80% of investors are facing today, is the effect that business expenses are having on their personal credit. How can you make things easier, faster and cheaper?

In having better credit scores, it then opens the door to endless possibilities that will create wealth. Let’s look closer at how business credit cards can make your life easier both on the personal side, as well as on the business side.

1. What impacts investors’ personal credit score?

High credit scores are important for investors because it creates the leverage and funding they need to grow their business. Almost every investor runs up their personal credit card balance, by putting too many business charges on them. Thus, jeopardizing their personal credit score due to their credit utilization rate. For personal credit cards, MyFico only allows for a 20% utilization rate before it impacts your credit score. However, business credit cards do not have the same restrictions. Instead, you are able to use the entire credit limit without having to worry. In having better credit scores, it opens the door to endless possibilities that will create wealth.

2. What are the benefits of getting a business credit card?

Business credit cards are the most important thing that investors can do to ensure success. They not only provide funding, but also the leverage required to create further growth. Many investors have heard of corporate credit and have taken the steps to get started down that path. Unfortunately, this option results in years of hard work and multiple steps before any progress can be made. Business credit cards on the other hand, are quick to set up, extremely flexible, and most importantly they will not impact your credit score. Eliminate the cash crunch by separating your personal credit from your business.

3. How do low credit scores impact acceptance?

One challenge that many investors have, is that their personal credit is too low to apply for a business credit card. In this case, they need to pay down their credit card balances by using their savings, or they can take out a personal loan. How can real estate investors repair their credit score and help grow their business? By applying for a usage loan, investors can pay off credit card debt quickly and easily. This in turn allows them to qualify for fix and flip loans, DSCR loans, or other bank loans that can get the business back on track. 

4. What steps do you need to take to set up your business correctly?

The fourth and most important step is setting up your business properly. If it’s not, fix it now! In having your business set up correctly it will make it easier to access more lending options and increase your profits. How can you get on track and set up your business correctly? We are here to help by providing a 1-10 checklist for you to follow. This includes links to the Secretary of State, EIN information, and much more to help get the ball rolling. Our goal is to make it as easy and profitable as possible.

By using personal credit cards for business expenses, you are jeopardizing your credit score and endangering the success of your business. Do not join the 80% of real estate investors who fail. We can help guide you through the entire process from setting up your business correctly, to researching credit cards, and can even provide usage loans to get you back on track.
