Refinancing in 2021: Is It a Smart Choice For Real Estate Investors?

There’s no secret that the lending industry is doing great now. Rates go down, more and more people see the need in refinancing their properties.

Let’s have a closer look at some facts that show that the real estate industry remains stable and investing in properties and refinancing is a smart move in 2021:

1. Single-family rental occupancy rate is at 95%; its highest level since 1995;

2. The Southwest region has the highest mortgage delinquency rates averaging about 8%;

3. Open houses in many major Northeast markets are producing about ⅓ of the visitors they did 6-12 months ago, but the slowdown in people has not yet hit home prices;

4. Multifamily fix-and-flip and new construction are a growing part of many lenders’ businesses, with $5-10 million projects opening up significant growth opportunities as single-family inventory remains low.

When searching for your options, did you know what’s more profitable?

Refinancing is way easier and faster with hard money, than with a mortgage.

Another valuable thing for a real estate investor is time, and it takes only several days to get your hard money loan. It’s nothing compared to the weeks of waiting for a conventional loan.
