The bank change many terms of the loan and said we would need to sign a cross collateralization for all our properties.

I'm trying to reduce taxes payable by my llc by having shareholders loans count as an interest deduction. 

The interest rate on the loans are about 6% so I wouldn't want to rehabilitate the loan if the oustanding balance is going to be counted at its full nominal as opposed to the 1-2% assumption which is more favorable given my good income and credit.Thank you
