Multi property same finance so you can cross collateralize different LTV positions?

It's an excellent addition to David Green's book "Long Distant REI".

That will ensure there will be built in equity that you can figure out a way to suck out equity via a cash out refinance, line of credit, cross collatorization, or selling the property.

The servicer may have their own fees, rules, and disclosures.Agent crosses a line to disclose rates, legal ins and outs, terms, and disclose the loan which even a broker license doesn't cover.

In Q1 we say about $300M worth of loans cross our desk, Q2 was about $300M/mo and Q3 and Q4 we had weeks where we saw $300M.
