Successful wage earner and real estate investor sought a short-term $1,460,000 blanket 1st Trust Deed cash-out refinance on these two non-owner-occupied multi-family rentals in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, CA. The borrower is currently going through a divorce which is to be finalized in the next couple months. He has been ordered to pay his soon-to-be-ex-wife, who is also on title of the properties, a lump sum of $580,000 (divorce decree in file). He doesn’t want to sell these properties as they bring in $14,000+ in gross monthly income (rent roll in file). Our loan will payoff both existing 1st TDs which will also take the wife off title, pay her the lump sum of $580,000 through escrow so the divorce can be finalized, and net the borrower about $45,000 cash for upgrades to a few of the units so that he can increase rental income. The borrower has a refinance lined up once the divorce is finalized and in the works but he first needs to quickly pay her out and take her off title. The borrower expects the divorce to be finalized in the next 30-60 days, after which he will immediately work on getting the new refinance closed to get out of our loan.
