Incredibly frustrating.
My experience with Visio Lending has been incredibly frustrating. I purchased a property at a good price and then invested over $100,000 renovating it, only to have Visio flag the refinance for “rapid appreciation.” Rather than looking at the actual improvements made to the property and the supporting documentation, the process became unnecessarily difficult and created another hurdle to getting the loan completed. On a separate multifamily loan, I ran into another issue with the appraisal process. Visio would not accept appropriate multifamily comps because they were outside of a three-mile radius, despite the fact that comparable duplex properties in the immediate area were limited. This made an already difficult appraisal process even more frustrating. In both situations, I felt like common sense and the actual facts surrounding the properties were being overshadowed by rigid guidelines. Appraisal reconsiderations and attempts to provide additional documentation only added more time and frustration to the process. Based on my experience, I would not use Visio Lending again.
