No stimulus for small landlords?

Thanks for the useful advice— from the 99.9% of us on this board who don’t have a “private banking” relationship with a “portfolio lender.”– Very helpful.

The (huge) Capital Gains credit IS still available for “Closely Held LLC’s”– Basically husband and wife or single owner. The basic requirement is still that you have lived in the building for 2 of the past 5 years as your PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

With this much money on the line, talk to a RE attorney that really knows his stuff before “cowboying” it.

IMPORTANT:

BEWARE OF LLC OWNERSHIP FOR A DIFFERENT REASON

I understand the liability (and other) benefits of owning property under an LLC…

However…

You will **NOT** be able to get a HELOC loan using your LLC-titled property as collateral.

Imagine $1MM+ of equity in your Brownstone and today’s (4/2020) low interest rates.

What a GREAT time to take out a loan…. It WILL NOT happen if your property is titled as an LLC.

@jjq you are incorrect about banks not giving a HELOC to an LLC. I’ve done several over the years, and one very recently. It depends on the lender, and your relationship with them

Which Lenders? Because I can give you a list of 30 local and national lenders which WILL NOT loan in this form. The reason is because the loan becomes a non-complying loan, and can NOT be resold. So just let me ask.. Which Lenders are you talking about?

Believe me I would not be posting this if it was not from experience. 5 weeks ago (before the virus) I walked into EVERY bank along 5th and 3rd Ave in Bay Ridge and directly talked to their loan officers (or had someone call a back office guy)– Only Valley National said they would entertain the loan, however there was an upfront $800, non-refundable legal fee (all the LLC docs need to be reviewed by their legal dpt).

There is a work around, for those interested:

Go back and Re-title your property.

If the “Beneficial-Ownership” of the property does NOT change (ie: husband owns 50% and wife owns 50% through an LLC and retitling retains this 50/50 split)

There will be NO re-Titling charges (in NY anyway).

Caveat–

Check with your insurance & mortgage company first– There are a couple of finer points in your mortgage docs which may need compliance.

I’m not going to make referrals here. Any portfolio lender CAN do it, but the question is IF. And a big part of that “if” is if you have a relationship with them.

A lot of people on here talk out of their behind. I don’t do that. I talk on long experience and knowledge.

And by relationship. I mean, you have given them substantial business. Portfolio lenders will do anything for their best clients. Even the bigger banks will do that in their more specialized private banking departments.

Nonesense.

The banks WILL NOT make a conventional HELOC loan to an owner of an LLC titled-Property. It’s really that black and white. And I’ve got the used shoe leather to prove the due diligence.

Now if you are talking about some sort of “private banking” loan which is available because of some sort of real estate portfolio lending relationship… that’s a completely different story.

The only reason I’d like to make this info available is for retirement planning:

If anyone has their primary residence titled as an LLC, and is looking for a big fat line of credit in retirement in the form of a HELOC … sort out the LLC title before you retire and apply for the loan.

This is a list of banks which will not do HELOC with LLC titled collateral:

Local, regional, national and international “brands:”

Citizens, Valley National, Signature Bank (private acts), HSBC, Sandenter, Ridgewood, Investors, Northfield, Flushing, First Nat Bank of Long island, Chase, Apple, Dime, Roosevelt, Atlantic, Td Bank, Mt Bank.

Online:

Bethpage, and Third Federal

It does not matter what FICO score you have, how much equity is in the property, or what income you have.

The underlying reason these loans are not made is that the loan can not be repackaged and sold in the secondary market— ie its nonconforming. It would have to remain a portfolio, in-house loan because it does not conform to the secondary market requirements.

Just a last comment… Im sitting on $1.2MM+ equity, have a nearly 800 FICO and a great job with lots of income for over 20 years and as I explained above could not get a HELOC with the property I’ve lived in for 20 years . I hired an attorney who thankfully knew of the re-title loop-hole… so I did not have to repay Transfer Taxes, Title Insurance, and a few other misc fees which would have been a pricy solution to just get a loan.

I didn’t say conventional lenders will do it. I said portfolio lenders would do it. Learn the difference.
