In this scenario it's probably easier to do a collateral assignment of note and mortgage than trying to find a lender for a portfolio that size.

I can have them just setup an ACH for the monthly payments, etc...but I feel like this would be easier with some automation, and there just must be something that's already setup for this.

You live in one unit, rent out the others, and your tenants help pay the mortgage.With loans like FHA or VA, it’s easier to get started.

Their deck was too sparse and missing key info for judging risk (which I find is often associated with offerings that target less sophisticated investors...and was personal red-flag #4). 

Hard money makes it easier to get into a deal so buckle down and save

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Streamlined Financing: By using multiple properties as collateral, borrowers can consolidate loans and simplify their financing arrangements, making it easier to manage payments.4.

They should not have been this off and you should always use the worst-case scenario as your target number when you are doing a flip or BRRRR.If I were you and a sale wouldn't net enough, I would do mid-term rental there instead of long-term rental so you can earn more, but still not have a ton of tenancies.

The towns you're targeting—Rochester, Dover, Farmington, and Milton—offer great potential, especially for flipping and buy-and-hold multifamily investments.
