Summary

This article discusses non-recourse loans, a type of financing where the lender's claim is limited to the property. STR investors, especially those using LLCs, self-directed IRAs, or solo 401(k)s, can potentially benefit from this by preserving capital and avoiding personal liability. Consider evaluating this loan type if you're looking for investment opportunities in real estate.

Key Insights

  • Non-recourse loans often require a down payment of 30% or greater and loan amounts typically range from $100,000 to $500,000, and LTV is capped at 70%.
  • Interest rates on non-recourse loans are typically higher than conventional 30-year mortgages due to the added risk to the lender.

Action Items

  • If considering a non-recourse loan, identify specialized lenders that offer such products, and work with your custodian if using a self-directed IRA.
