I am not sure about the rules surrounding your bank loans, but one word of caution: If a HML makes the deal real tight for a 3 month hold I am wondering how tight the deal is to start with, as you pay a lot more closing costs with a bank loan than you typically do with a HML so the few percentage points (even if a 6 month minimum on the HML) shouldn't be making or breaking the deal.Make sure your deal is really a deal before you jump in.
