Hello, we have a. apartment complex in LA County and want to install security cameras in the common areas.

We have secured a home equity loan against our home (which we own out right with no mortgage payment).

I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

Being a 20 year mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we used our mortgage company to secure below market financing.

My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

This includes preparing the property for renters, pricing it right, marketing, application screening, collecting rent, dealing with unpaid rent and other lease violations, security deposit disposition, inspections, and so much more.

If the loan amount you are looking for is small relative to the value of the first and the second property combined, they are very well secured on a LTV%; ask for a 1% point lower rate.If you don't want to Cross Collateralize, do you have any CD's or MM you can transfer to this bank as collateral. 

I completely agree with @Ashish Acharya's points about the cost-effectiveness of a HELOC and the potential credit implications if it’s secured by your primary residence.

I would echo the post about security. 

Our goal is to establish a structure where the property owner can secure financing based on the long-term lease with the operational company.Any advice or insights from those who have navigated similar situations would be greatly appreciated!
