Before you act, I would consult a competent attorney so you know your exposure.

@Steve Vaughan  lots of factors for the commercial banks.. regulators might have told them to reduce exposure to real estate.. so there goes your refi.. bank could have failed.. ( this happened big time) in GA 450 small banks failed in the GFC big player buys all the loans for pennies on the dollar and you are not getting any love from them pay them off or they foreclose.. saw that more than once.. regardless of what the asset was or was doing.but lets remember 08 to 2010 hopefully was a once in an investor life time situation... but it can happen. your smart to limit your exposure to those types of loans..

I think the bank only wants to protect their exposure limit/loan limit.

Can you have differing degrees of exposure on one deal alone?

There are companies who if their tests come back clean will guarantee the price for removal so that should cap your exposure.

Selling also limits your market exposure to a single house in an already inflated oil-driven market. 

This gave me the exposure to all aspects of a development deal on multiple larger ground up development deals.Your likely job title will be: assistant project manager, analyst, development associate.

So that will minimize some tax exposure.

Large money managers usually try the diversification strategy to get certain exposure to trends.

Luckily I already have some exposure to the risk of losing money from a bit of financial investing, so hopefully I'll be able to keep my head about me while I dive into this.Cheers
