So i never understood the concept of using banks money instead of yours? I feel when you do that your paying more interest on lines of credit or what not? I was thinking if things hit the fan and needed to let the properties go then they couldnt touch your bank account, is that the case or why do you do that?

So me and my wife has a house buying company and a rental property business. We have had going on 3 years here soon, originally it was just me and one guy doing most of rehabs and construction stuff. We now have 15 properties, i went to a different model now having contractors do the majority or rehabs and i have handymen,plumber,electrician and hvac guy i can call when i need them. I manage pretty much it all and my wife does the bills and emails and such. To really grow and streamline all this whats the best way to really scale and get very organized?

So my commercial loan department guy who i do all my banking with cut me off? So going on 3 years in December we have grown to 15 properties and leveraged or refinanced 9 of them with 80% to ltv. When i will have around 200k left over in lines of credit after all my current renovations are done. So the bank said they wanna chill till February with leveraging anything else and see where im at? When i still have 6 properties with each of them at least 40% equity in all of them? Why did they cut me off?
