If EACH property has an LTV below 65% and has good stable tenants in place then you may want to see if you can get a hard money lender to allow for a cash-out refi, let the loan season, and flip into conventional financing.The trick will be to find the end-lender first so you have some semblance of an exit strategy for your hard money loan so look up some portfolio lenders in your area.

Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!
