It depends on what your interest rates are. I don't think you're going to like the rates for a portfolio loan right now.


 Thank you, Bud. That's what I've heard from others and read online as well. Much appreciated.

@Jordan Ray stop spamming this thread. Nobody said anything about Memphis.

@Sushil Iyer we lived in Texas for about a dozen years and still have property there - one of which is a mid term rental in Temple. My ranking on the area is Belton, Temple, then Killeen. Killeen is rough. That's not to say you can't do well there, but I'd encourage you to look at Belton and Temple (which can also be very rough and block to block) rather than Killeen.

The good news is that there continues to be serious population and job growth in the area.  


 Thank you, Travis. Much appreciated.

Killeen is a good cash flow market, but you have to buy in the right area and also time your tenant turnover to the Permanent Change of Station (PCS) season since it is predominately military town


 Thank you, Steve. That's very helpful. Do you have any suggestions on the right/wrong area in Killeen? I am specifically looking at zip codes 76543 and 76549. Thank you

76542 is going to be the best zip code to be in. 76543 you are going to want to tread carefully and be sure to check the specific neighborhood and street you are looking at. 76549 has 2 divisions that are very different. North of Stan Schluter Loop you have older homes and multifamily properties. And south of that street is going to be newer, larger homes, a tier up. 76542 is actually very similar to that general rule as well. 



 Thank you, Matthew. This is very helpful.

Quote from @Tim Delaney:

You will probably be better off just doing them separately. I was working with a DSCR lender on comparing options on a seven property portfolio purchase a couple years ago and the difference between bundling them and doing them all separately was negligible.


 Thank you, Tim. I'm coming to a similar conclusion. I appreciate your advice.

We have a SFH and a duplex that we own free and clear, and a duplex on which we have a residential mortgage. Each of these properties is in a different location and was purchased at a different time. Is it possible to re-finance these separate properties as a group in a single loan? Does the fact that these were purchased separately and are at different locations make that option unavailable? The idea is to re-fi in a single transaction, which, I assume, will have benefits over three separate transactions. Please advise. Thank you.


It is possible, this is what's called a blanket portfolio loan. All the same rules of a standard DSCR cash-out refinance would still apply. Are the properties close to in the distance to each other?


 Thank you. The properties are between 20 and 40 miles away from each other.


I would side on the fence that's too far apart for portfolio or blanket lenders. Even if you do get someone who is willing to take a stab at that, my instinct is that they would have some egregious terms worked in there. Just speaking from experience. Its probably best to proceed with two separate DSCR cash out refinance with one broker who can get you lender discounts. Happy to connect! Good luck!


 Thank you, Devin. Much appreciated.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier:

It's possible but honestly, there is no benefit to doing a portfolio unless you have too, typically LTV's are lower and rates are higher.

Many pros to doing them separately rather than bundled.


 Thank you. That's what I'm reading too. I had assumed it would be beneficial; just seems more expensive.

Hi Jordan - we have heard great things about Memphis as a real estate market. Given our experience level, we are not ready to make an investment in a place that far away from home. Even Killeen seems too far, tbh. LOL! But, thank you for the tip. Maybe one day.

I am a new(ish) investor with a handful of properties in the DFW area. I am considering going outside DFW for my next investment, but not too far (at most a 2-3 hr one-way drive from Dallas). Killeen is one option. Does anyone have experience/advice on investing in Killeen? Specifically, is the rental market stable, and is reliable assistance (like agents, property managers, contractors, etc.) available? My strategy is buy & hold for stable cash flow with some appreciation over time. 

Also, if there are other markets like or better than Killeen, can you please share?

Thank you.


Memphis, TN is a fantastic market for stable cashflow with some appreciation over time! Have you ever looked at Memphis TN?
