You may need to ask around at a lot of different institutions before you get the answer you want.As far as getting the prior appraisal accepted by another institution that is most likely going to be a no.

If they see your deal as risky they will be less likely to negotiate on terms.Smaller institutions may be more willing to negotiate than big ones.

You may want to feel out a couple of places in your area to see what their feelings are before you approach the institution you would prefer to do business with.

HI Ashby,Its probably better to take it from a actual lender who invests than an investor who doesn't lend regularly.With that said, Fannie Mae is currently at 10 financed properties max and Freddie Mac is currently at 6 max.The above refers to 1-4 unit residential properties that you either have been personally obligated on (you're on the mortgage note personally) or that you've taken title to personally (in your own name).There are different limits that you might hear like 4 for conventional, but those are most limits the larger institutions place on borrowers because they either dont like dealing with borrowers who have more properties or perhaps the risk with those borrowers is greater in their perception.

Hello bp crowd, I am in contract with a national child care franchise to do a build to suit for their franchisee.

However, most banks like to see some property seasoning before they do any sort of refinance.My first suggestion would be to talk to local investors in your area to see who they are using to finance their deals and then go talk to those people/banks/institutions.
