Lender/Seasoned investors help

[Gursewak Singh]

Hello All,

  I hope everyone is staying safe in this crisis. I do have question, many of you prob have went thru this, hope someone can help.

I own 2 investment properties free & clear. I bought one 2 years ago & other one 1 year ago. They are worth per appraisals $ 434,000. I am going thru a commercial lender to get a Business/Portfolio line of credit. They want to give me 70% of appraised value for 2 year property but only 70% of Purchase price for 1 year old property at floating interest 5.75%-6%. They are willing to give me as a line of credit for $ 271,000 for both properties. It's a small bank here in Texas. Closing cost would be for both around $ 1700 including appraisals etc. Thoughts? 

Thanks

Shop around with other banks and take the best deal you can find. You likely want to stay with small banks or credit unions right now though.
