Recent Deals: Investor Financing Case Studies

A few recent files we have financed for real estate investors, in the US and from abroad. Each one shows the problem we had to solve and how it closed. Client details are anonymized, and every deal depends on the property, the borrower and the market at the time.

Cash-out refinance · Brazil

Cash-out refinance on an Orlando condo-hotel for an owner in Brazil

  • LoanCash-out refinance
  • PropertyCondo-hotel (condotel) unit
  • LocationOrlando, FL
  • FinancedOctober 2026

65% LTVcash-out on a condo-hotel

The situation

An investor living in Brazil owned a condo-hotel unit in Orlando and wanted to take cash out of it.

The challenge

Condo-hotels are a niche. Many lenders won’t finance them at all, and fewer will do a cash-out for an owner who lives abroad.

How it closed

We placed the file with a lender that finances condo-hotels for foreign nationals and secured a cash-out refinance at 65% LTV.

The result

She turned part of her equity into cash without selling the unit.

Condo-hotel terms vary by building and lender. Results depend on the property, the borrower and market conditions. Client details are anonymized.

Rate-and-term refinance

Refinancing a West Palm Beach triplex after a flat appraisal

  • LoanRate-and-term refinance
  • PropertyRental triplex
  • LocationWest Palm Beach, FL
  • ClosedAugust 2026

Almost $1,000lower monthly payment

The situation

The owner bought this triplex in 2023 and paid a premium for it. Three years later, his loan still carried a rate in the high 8% range, and he wanted to bring the payment down.

The challenge

The new appraisal came in no higher than his 2023 purchase price. On that value, the loan he needed sat slightly above the program’s standard LTV limit.

How it closed

We took the file back to the underwriter and obtained an exception for a slightly higher LTV, so the refinance could go through.

The result

His monthly payment dropped by almost $1,000. He’s a returning client.

Underwriting exceptions are decided case by case and aren’t guaranteed. Results depend on the property, the borrower and market conditions. Client details are anonymized.

Purchase · Qualified on rent

Buying a West Palm Beach duplex with 20% down, qualified on its rent

  • LoanPurchase, qualified on rent
  • PropertyDuplex
  • LocationWest Palm Beach, FL
  • ClosedJune 2026

About 16%yearly return on his cash in the deal, based on NOI

The situation

An investor was buying a duplex in West Palm Beach as a rental.

How we financed it

We qualified the loan on the property’s rental income (a DSCR loan), so his personal income didn’t drive the approval, and financed 80% of the price with 20% down.

The result

Based on the property’s net operating income, the cash he put in (down payment plus closing costs) earns about 16% a year.

Return = the property’s annual NOI divided by the down payment plus closing costs. Results depend on the property, the borrower and market conditions. Client details are anonymized.

Purchase · Argentina

A Hallandale Beach luxury condo for a buyer from Argentina, with 25% down

  • LoanForeign national purchase
  • PropertyLuxury oceanfront condo
  • LocationHallandale Beach, FL
  • ClosedFebruary 2022

25% downon a foreign national purchase

The situation

A buyer living in Argentina wanted to purchase a luxury condo in one of Hallandale Beach’s oceanfront towers and finance most of the price.

The challenge

Her income and finances were in Argentina, so the US lender needed them documented in a form it could rely on.

How it closed

We documented her finances with a letter from her CPA in Argentina, and the lender approved the loan with 25% down.

The result

She closed the purchase in February 2022, financing 75% of the price.

Programs and terms change: this loan closed in 2022, and today’s foreign national programs typically ask for around 30% down. Results depend on the property, the borrower and market conditions. Client details are anonymized.
