Wow, quite enlightning! Were considering for my portfolio the B2R / Dwell Finance or whatever entity they're operating under but this isn't cool - can completely break the feasability of a deal shortening the term like that for Elvin or the hand-tying aspects that Thomas has pointed out. On the flip side of things, I get their position doing their diligence in order to wrap and resell as Elvin has pointed out (common practice in finc world) as a response to the void in the MBS market for residential funding after the '08 boo boo. Anyway, private lenders being the best route still though relationship dev & nurturing is paramount and timely where time is not our favor, portfolio lenders such as Colony (interviewed w/them) and alike being 2nd choice and, local banks with a set up channel or that are interested in servicing these type of transactions could do good for all. FYI, I'll be campaining for funding with local banks in the upcoming months and am open to exchanging notes privately if anyone is interested.
