They want to keep the note long term but want to leverage or recapitalize using hypothecation (similar to #3 on Chris's list but with notes rather than homes).

I submitted an application etc but I am going to finish the rehab to get better terms before resubmitting.The back story is that I am about 90% done rehabbing a home for a rental.
