Utilizing my relationship with a great local lender I started the process of getting a secured line of credit set up against the 3 unit so I could pull most of my money back out.

Glad we're secured, but nothing in rei is passive.

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!

If you're already in a secure financial position, leveraging your equity could be a smart strategy.

Toward the end before closing, they gave bunch of excuses like security breach in their company, don't like the file and the property.

Thanks for the feedback—it really makes me step back and think about this whole situation.To answer your question about the hard money loan: I went that route because I needed to close quickly, and hard money was the fastest way to secure the deal.

But we are also both very used to corporate and used to having a security of a job.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

I have mlo in Oregon and it’s the division of consumer finance and corporate securities. ca probably has a version of thathowever I did all my loans with my ca brokers license
