@John Merritt   Remember transferring property involves to things: transferring the deed which transfers ownership of the actual property and the security instrument (mortgage, security deed or deed of trust) which shows who is on the hook for the $$ borrowed.

Have others been able to secure a HELOC from their portfolio.

from the documents a few BP folks sent to me a few years ago. it looked like they were investing in multi beneficiary mortgages IE multiple investors in a fractionalized mortgage.. which can be argued is a security .. in CA they are quite common but you have a specific disclosure document that must be filled out by a real estate broker .. it lets you know who the co investors are.. which is really the rub here.. none of these folks know each other.. and of course this is always the rub in a pooled syndicated investment that goes south..
