Not only that but when you are in a portfolio loan and would like to for example sell one and break it out then most lenders will want to be paid back 120% of the balance attached to that piece of property back into the principle of the loan

Doing this keeps us balanced and has allowed us to purchase more properties as well as have a reserve when needed.

Your response is more balanced and honest and I appreciate it.

Snowball method is smallest balance first.

Send your balance sheet with your offer if that helps. 

Ignore the loan when trying to factor in the possible tax implications as paying off a principal balance doesn't do anything tax-wise.

I see with this with a lot of local banks or credit unions.The Banker should have walked you through the basics on County loan limts versus Jumbo &  High balance.

It's all about the right balance. 

Quote from @Renande Emile: Try to negotiate with the bank that finance the house So in the end you paid the morgage balance?

Please keep in mind that I plan to rent to college students and the free unit is about 2,000 sqft:- I went to transfer utilities and the past owners have a balance.
