U.K. Client’s Triumph in Sunshine State with Short-Term Rental Financing in Florida

A $1,755,000 cashout refinance was successfully closed by DAK Mortgage’s client, a U.K. citizen, for his short-term rental property in Reunion, Florida in March 2023, freeing up capital for further investments.

Securing short-term real estate loans can be a challenge, but in March 2023 DAK Mortgage’s client, a U.K. citizen based in the Cayman Islands, closed a seven-figure cashout refinance on his vacation rental property in Reunion, Florida.

DAK Mortgage streamlined the process with a 15-business-day turnaround, requiring just an accountant’s income letter (instead of tax returns) and only one appraisal (instead of two appraisals, as is required by more traditional lenders at this high loan amount level). The appraised value was $2,700,000, and the lender provided 65% loan-to-value, for a loan amount of $1,755,000.

The client, a self-employed entrepreneur, intends to use the cashout proceeds to reinvest in a new commercial venture in the Cayman Islands.

“In today’s market with rising interest rates, getting a cashout refinance for a U.S. citizen borrower with a long-term rental property is a bit challenging. Here, we had a foreign national borrower with a short-term rental property, so double the challenge. We’re glad we got our client to the finish line,” commented David A. Krebs, president of DAK Mortgage.
