Blanket Loan vs 5 Conventional Mortgages
I'm looking to purchase 5 new units in a short period of time.
My question is: Is it better to take 5 individual mortgages, one for each property or a blanket loan?
Background: These would be short term vacation rentals. Each cost roughly 200-350k. Will probably end up landing around 1.25m-1.5m total cost.
Conventional mortgage Pros:
30 year fixed, traditional 20% down, best interest rate
Conventional mortgage Cons:
5 new sets of payments, 5 sets of closing costs, 5 times going through the conventional process (sounds painful), will use my last 5 conventional loans avail (at 5 currently)
Blanket Loan Pros:
Simplicity; 1 payment, 1 loan app and process
Blanket Loan Cons:
10 year term, 2-3% higher rate, 25-30% down
The properties will cash flow either way and I don't need the cash flow immediately. It's a long term play. I'm leaning towards the blanket loan, but wanted the opinion of others to see if theres anything i'm missing or not thinking of.
Appreciate your thoughts!
