Can't get financing!?
 
Hey guy, looking to upgrade to a '99 fountain lightning. I am having some problems with getting a loan (just bought some investment properties and they don't like my debt to income) and i do not want to use a home equity line..anyone have any suggestions for more creative finance companies?... thanks!

It all depends on what Bank does the financing. For instance Key Bank looks at credit history and not really credit score. Other banks like M&T look more at Credit Score.

Because I got my previous boat and 2 cars via. cash, and didn't have a mortgage at the time Key Bank didn't think I had sufficient credit history.

M&T looked at my credit score which was excellent and gave me the loan! :evilb:

Do Not Use Keybank. Moronic business practices, and incredibly poor customer service.

Keybank sucks. I had them for a boat loan once. Why wouldn't you want a home equity line of credit? You will be able to write off the payment on your taxes....that's a good thing :D

LOC rate is tied to the prime rate. The Fed has raised the rate substantially over the past 2 years. It is 5% now. Variable rate on a long term purchase is not a good thing.

Your right....I meant a fixed mtg. Then he can still write it off. Prime rate is 8% :eek:

If Fifth Third Bank is in your area they have a special right know on HELOCS. You take the HELOC which has no closing costs, and can convert it immediately to a 20yr fixed rate at 8.24% for only a $95 one time fee. I do this all the time writing 1st and 2nd mortgages with them. Payment would be about $8.52 per $1,000.

Gotta be close to the top. I'm not so concerned about a variable tied to prime right now.

Chi290, does BobZ's deal on new 42 pending your deal? ( I assume you are buying his 99 35)

I don't think it has anything to do with his new deal, but it seems to be his old boat that I'm TRYING to buy.

Jerry Pitts hooked me up! Good guy who knows a lot about financing, not just submitting the application to the bank!

Even when I thought I was going to scrap the blowers he had a line on a buyer for me.
