Quote from @David Britt:

I worked with them and their Rental 30 loan over the summer of 2022.  Took 3 deals to close with them, but none of it was their fault.  Deal one, backed out after the inspection.  Deal two, title found some funny business and I backed out. Deal three, no problem.  You don't lock in a rate, so rates will fluctuate while you're under contract.  If you know that going in, it won't be a surprise.  My rate actually dropped right before closing.  Banks present particular hurdles.  Lima one, for the most part, bypasses bank hurdles, but does present unique hurdles of their own.  Pick your poison, so to speak.  I like Lima One and will use them again.  They were on top of things, very helpful and very responsive to my questions.


 Considering the "unique hurdles" you've experienced, wouldn't it be smart to explore other options or at least shop around for your next deal?


 Yes, it would, you're exactly right.  That's how we ended up with Lima One in this case.  Every lender has requirements and rules by which you must play.  This year, Lima One worked best.  Next year?  Watch this space.

Can anything be done/changed after the purchase to allow for two leases?  

Quote from @Eric Veronica:

If the 2nd unit above the garage is a legal accessory dwelling unit then you should be able to use two leases.  If the accessory dwelling unit is not a legal then you might not be able to use a 2nd lease. 


 Thanks for that.  Something to investigate!

Quote from @Robin Simon:

What type of lender are you working with?  If its one lot, we would typically be A-OK with 2 leases and treat it most likely as a 2-unit loan


 A national hard money lender.  It is a 30 year fixed.  Would you, (or they), have any way of finding out to whom I rent or how?  Can they see the leases?

Two structures on one lot.  Structure one is a typical 2 story house.  Structure two is a 2 story building with an apartment above a garage.  The obvious plan is to rent to two separate parties on two separate leases, but the lender is telling me all renters for this property must be under one lease.  Why does the lender insist on one lease and how can i get around it?

Any update to this? Has anyone used REI Choice / Arcana Insurance since 2020?

 Hi I’m using them now and actually having to make a claim through them so far it’s been a smooth easy process but we are almost to the finish and waiting for pay out so I will try and report back on how it goes!!  


 How did the pay out go?

Considering Lending Club Bank's Tailored Business Checking.   Online reviews from actual users are hard to find.  Would love to hear your thoughts if you have first, second, or even third hand experiences to share.
