The challenge that many borrowers run into when looking for larger equity lines with limits  of $250k+ is that they typically require full income verification (not always bank statement and DSCR exist) with lower DTI ratios (43-50%) however although the repayment scheduled is based off a simple interest only payment, (usually a 30 year amortization schedule with the initial draw period of 5-10 years) the qualifying rate is based off of the converted twenty year amortization schedule (240 equal installments) of the payback period.

If your goal is growth and building a portfolio, it could make sense, just make sure you’re comfortable with the higher payment and have a solid plan for deploying that cash efficiently into another property.

Hey Dave, lots of investors build their buyers list by tracking activity from local public records especially recent cash purchases, LLC transfers, and repeat buyers in the county.It helps you identify who’s actually buying right now instead of collecting random emails.If you ever want to talk through ways to source or organize that data efficiently, happy to share what I’ve seen work well for others.
