I am considering consolidating all properties into a single portfolio loan to benefit from the 30yr amort schedule, to maximize cash flow.

After everything was said and done, I was able to do a cash-out refi last year for about $95k with a conventional mortgage, and I consolidated the rest of my debt with a short-term personal loan.

@Dave HurtHi Dave Nice to see u have risen from ur submarine lol....good on you, I think taking this next step is vital for your growth as you are communicating with like minded people & it consolidates you in many areas!

Look at how technology has consolidated so many industries.

@Jast Collum    before  you  can  refinance - most  ( if not all )  traditonal lenders  will require you 1) officially exit the  forebearance program     2)  make  3 full payments towards the  1st mortgage .......if you  try this - you might consider consolidating the  2 loans  into one new loan 

We’re seeing a ton of consolidation in this industry as of late.

I consolidated my student loans from 18 to 2 and now dealing with my 4th company and she says that as long as its in Ibr and not deferred I shouldn't have a problem.

I too use GEICO as my car insurance and thought years ago to try and consolidate my bills by being my homeowners to GEICO.
