Knowing where you're at in the journey allows you to switch products at different stages (IE at 4 properties, or when you get to 5, or 10, or 15+ and 20+ because pricing/terms change as you progress).I think the local banks and credit unions service another gap as their rates typically tend to be better but there are cons as well such as balloon loan features that require a refi/exit/sale at the end of 5-15 years.Depending on your strategy and outlook weaving different products can help solve your gaps in your strategy going forward.For instance, for me I didnt want a fixed term cash out commercial note so I just did a blanket commercial line across multiple APN# parcels because, we never know when a deal will come up and sometimes having interest charges with no deal doesnt make sense as the funds burn a hole in the pocket so to speak.As soon as I find a property suitable for a project I may use the lines to fund the project with an eventual commercial refinance out when it hits completion in order to pay back down the lines (reload for the next project).
