My lender said there would be no extra cost to us but this all just sounds to good to be true.We like the flexibility of having 3 loans (we could sell them as a package or separately over time), but I am wondering if that's the smartest move here. 

Nowadays in LA, you're probably talking $400 SF for a nice home with those extra footing and steel.
