My end goal is to transition a portfolio of small-multis into medium-large apartment buildings, possibly taking aim at student housing since Seattle has a number of strong institutions of higher learning in the area.

Institutional lender allows secondary financing.

In general hard money lenders don't go off the borrower as much as the property itself, known as asset based lending.

That is why bank/institution financing on the property, they require a certain amount of monthly payment to be set a side to pay the property taxes, because they do not want to loose the their security in the property.1 - Deed State in which State sells/auction the property itself & then You own the property to do with what You wish to.The state of Washington is indeed a "Deed State".
