We're in Missouri and held a consolidated loan where two properties and an overdraft account had been combined for us to make a single monthly payment.

Tagging @Johnny Quilenderino another active serviceman whos made a killing using 1031s to invest where he's stationed and then again to consolidate his portfolio. 

I am considering consolidating all properties into a single portfolio loan to benefit from the 30yr amort schedule, to maximize cash flow.

After everything was said and done, I was able to do a cash-out refi last year for about $95k with a conventional mortgage, and I consolidated the rest of my debt with a short-term personal loan.

Just want to consolidate the numbersARV is 875kRepair estimate is 125kPurchase Price 629kI'm guessing about 87k will go towards realtor fees, closing costs, holding costs, etc.Projected profit 34k?

By then you’ll have enough equity to consolidate loans or start doing 1031’s or talk to your banker.

Not much of a story, but I purchased an $18k condo using a plain old unsecured loan like banks and lenders advertise for debt consolidation or major purchase/renovation.  

We have definitely refinanced/consolidated a few loans to try and free up our DTI.

These type of determinations often hang on the whims of neighbors and local elected officials, so knowing the landscape and having a consolidated strategy is paramount before you breath a word of your plans to anyone else. 

In this case, for a $720k Mortgage, I paid around $16k of just the Mortgage Recording Tax.If you are going to pay a bit for the Mortgage Recording Tax, you should call banks that can do what we call a Consolidation Extension and Modification Agreement (CEMA).
