Obtaining financing when your properties are under a corporation umbrella?
This may be a basic quesstion, but I'm in the beginning stages of researching for my first investment property. For liability purposes, all of my properties will be owed by a corporation that I'll be setting up. I assume that to maintain the security vail, the financing must also have the corporation's name on it - not mine. If that's the case, how do the financing institutions determine credit worthiness? Do they use my credit and assign it to the corporation, or does having my name on the loan not affect the separation between my corporation and my personal liabilities?
