Ron Amshalom Loans Secured by Portfolio

Instead of having 4–5 separate conventional or DSCR loans, you'd have one lender, one payment, and one set of terms covering them all.Advantages:Simplified Management: One payment, one servicer, one maturity date—streamlines your bookkeeping.Potentially Better Terms: Some lenders may offer more competitive rates, especially for larger balances ($500K+), since you're giving them more collateral.Equity Leveraging: You might be able to tap into the combined equity of the properties for cash-out or future purchases.Higher Loan Amounts: Works well if individual properties might not qualify alone due to lower cash flow or appraised value.Things to Watch Out For:All Properties Tied Together: If one underperforms or has an issue, it can affect your whole loan—harder to sell off one property without the lender's blessing (unless the loan includes a release clause).Fewer Lender Options: Not all banks or credit unions do blanket loans.
