I’ve explored options like using a HELOC, cash-out refinance, or leveraging my home as collateral.

We see fundraising wrapping up within the next 2-3 weeks.We're going to begin to put together pre-sale marketing collateral and contracts towards the end of this week.

You may need to safeguard the collateral, make emergency repairs, pay for legal notices and filings.

What is mentioned in that article is very sad but these are local people linked to drug activities, with sadly some innocent (overwhelmingly) local victims as collateral but the shootings rarely happen in the places where tourists go.

Melissa, not trying to hijack the post, but I am curious about cross collateral, as I own a 5 unit with a lot of equity and would like to buy using same bank, using the equity as a form of down payment and the new property income to justify a higher tha 75% loan. 

As for properly collateralized performing notes in Vegas I think those are quite safe.

If the borrower defaults, the lender can pursue not only the collateral but also the borrower's other assets and income to recover the outstanding amount.

out of sheer curiosity what is the collateral for investments.. are they cash flow assets..

Financing- build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.

Their representative recommended I engage with JP Morgan Chase private banking / wealth advisor as they thought this would allow them to be more creative and include other assets as part of the collateral.
