Question 3

Accepted Answer

A) We offer financing solutions for both real estate investors and business owners seeking capital for investment or business purpose. We do not offer any financing options for an owner-occupied residential property.

Question 4

Q) Will MACO pull my credit?

Accepted Answer

A) No. We will never pull credit to provide you with quotes. If you receive a quote from us that you wish to move forward with, you will likely have your credit pulled in processing by the lender we are moving forward with, but never before then.

Question 5

Q) Do you offer 100% Financing?

Accepted Answer

• A) Yes - on a select-basis, 100% financing is available for Rehabbers and Developers only on short term programs where 100% financing makes sense, and where they qualify. We cannot offer 100% financing (or gap funding) on rental loans. We want to ensure profitability and security for our investor clients, and in our experience, we never see numbers work well for an investor when they are leveraged 100% LTV. It also puts an investor in a tough spot when and if they need to refinance, as most lenders will limit you to a 75% LTV on a refinance transaction, leaving you far over-leveraged on the property.

Question 6

Q) How do you qualify applicants for 100% Financing?

Accepted Answer

• A) On a case-by-case basis, we may be able to offer Gap Funding for qualified investors.  To qualify for Gap Funding, we will look at the applicants: Credit score (minimum 680 across all three credit bureaus), Income (We look to your past 2 years Personal Tax Returns for your net income / Adjusted Gross Income), your Debt-to-Income ratio (to qualify for Term Loans), and your overall credit utilization (to qualify for Business lines of credit).

**Note, if more capital is required, multiple applicants may apply to obtain a greater funding amount. Each applicant would qualify on their own merit
