Turning Challenges into Opportunities: How Leo Feliz Helped a Self-Employed Investor Acquire Nine Townhomes in Tampa, FL

In the heart of Tampa, Florida, an ambitious self-employed investor embarked on a journey to acquire not one or two, but a total of nine new construction townhomes. While the vision was grand, the path to realization was far from straightforward. The investor’s quest for financing presented a unique set of challenges, including a smaller-than-typical down payment and complications arising from purchase contract issues and construction delays.

Enter Leo Feliz, a dedicated Mortgage Loan Officer from MortgageDepot’s Hollywood, FL office. With years of experience and a relentless commitment to client success, Leo stepped up to take on the challenges that lay ahead.

The Challenge:
The first challenge on the path to securing financing was the client’s limited down payment—only 15% when many lenders typically require 20% for investment properties. Additionally, the purchase contracts for the townhomes were not created properly, leading to complications. Builder delays further complicated the situation, creating a complex web of obstacles.

The Solution:
Leo Feliz recognized that every challenge is an opportunity for innovation. With adept negotiation skills, he not only succeeded in lowering the interest rate but also increased the loan-to-value ratio (LTV). This strategic maneuver not only made the financing more accessible but also more advantageous for the client.

Understanding the significance of a strong credit profile in securing favorable loan terms, Leo provided invaluable guidance to the client on credit improvement. He also played a pivotal role in addressing the issues stemming from suboptimal purchase contracts, ensuring a smooth and efficient closing process.

The Outcome:
Throughout this complex journey, Leo was the glue that held the deal together. His unwavering commitment and problem-solving skills proved indispensable as he negotiated with lenders and kept all parties aligned towards the successful acquisition of financing for our self-employed investor’s ambitious project – nine new construction townhomes in the bustling city of Tampa, Florida.

Conclusion:
This remarkable success story underscores MortgageDepot’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions to clients, even in challenging circumstances.
