How Creative Structuring Turned an Appraisal Challenge into an Investor Win
Every investor knows that sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't finding the property, it's making the numbers work.
In this recent cash-out refinance scenario, the property appraised lower than expected, creating a challenge that threatened the borrower's desired loan amount and cash-out proceeds.
🔹 The appraisal came in short
🔹 The original loan structure no longer worked
🔹 Debt service became an issue at the target loan amount
Instead of giving up on the deal, we got creative.
✅ Increased the allowable loan-to-value structure
✅ Sourced additional reserve assets to strengthen the file
✅ Re-structured the loan as Interest Only to improve debt service coverage
✅ Customized the solution to meet guideline requirements while preserving the borrower's goals
The result?
🏡 Loan approved and funded
💰 Borrower received the cash needed
📈 Capital secured for the next investment opportunity
