Since obtaining my license to trade in R/E I have had a successful career as a top agent in my locàl, as well as a successful track record in rental and flip properties.

Mornings are my favorite part of the day! 

Just got your e-book and spreadsheet from your website! 

In numbers, If I ask a HML for $100K and have assets valued at $20k, can I get will I get $100K with no cash down or would I need to liquidate the assets, and put it as money down to get $100K?

If you have significant savings (on top of the down payment amount obviously) or investments/assets that you can readily liquidate, a lender will be more likely to approve your loan application. 

@Claudia RottenbergerChances are the property is worth nowhere near $270k, it probably has some deficiency that makes comparison with seemingly comparable properties invalid.It would be e trembly rare for a $270k real market value property, even needing $15k rehab, to sell for $189k.

I've been down that path, as I had to liquidate my account to stay afloat on my first development, and I can tell the hit was big and not fun.

I would assume she'd be looking to liquidate positions in this environment.

I am guessing where the money is stored needs to be easily liquidated in short order and not at risk of dropping in value. 

As @Roman M. said you'll want liquidity that may be in the neighborhood of 30% of the loan.
