@Steve Matthews  My bank offers a Debt Service Program, very similar to the old NINA program which is no income and no asset.  

@Ross Drucker I concur what @Chris replied.  FNMA has increased guidelines to support up to 10 properties. I blogged about that last week.  Most individuals believe it's capped at 4.  Also, they have increased the tolerance for risk to allow 20% up to 6 loans and 7-10 requiring 25% down.  This is an investor's dream come true !!

You are correct.  Most lenders and most loan officers don't want to mess with loans less than $100,000.  With all the refinancing going on these days they would rather  pick and choose the low-hanging fruit alone out there a lot higher so they can better spend their time  on making money what's larger loan amounts .  We have to be able to find  a loan officer that specializes  investment properties which are typically below $100,000. 

If you have no more than six loans in your portfolio, then you should be able to do a cash-out refinance up to 75% loan to value. The key is working with lenders that are doing business in your Market that has the appraisal staff that understands the product and maximize this year value
