Business-Purpose Portfolio Financing
Blanket and Portfolio Financing for Multi-Property Investors.
Consolidate multiple investment properties under a single loan structure. Blanket and portfolio financing is designed for investors and landlords who own or are acquiring several rental, rehab, or small commercial assets and want simplified underwriting, cross-collateralization, and one closing instead of many.
For business-purpose, non-owner-occupied investment and commercial properties only.
Who Blanket and Portfolio Financing May Fit.
Portfolio financing is built for investors managing more than one property who want fewer loans to track and streamlined refinancing as their holdings grow.
The Growing Landlord
An investor with four to six rental properties financed individually who wants to combine them under one loan to simplify payments and free up capacity for new acquisitions.
The Multi-Market Portfolio Owner
A buy-and-hold investor with rental properties across several states seeking one structure and one point of contact instead of separate loans with separate lenders.
The Rehab-to-Rental Investor
An investor exiting several completed rehab projects into long-term rentals who wants to refinance the group together rather than property by property.
Purchase, Refinance, and Cross-Collateralization Options.
Blanket and portfolio structures can be arranged in more than one way depending on how the properties were acquired and how the investor wants to structure future flexibility.
Purchase
Financing multiple properties acquired together or in a coordinated closing, structured under a single loan.
Refinance
Combining properties currently held under separate loans into one blanket structure, which may improve efficiency as a portfolio grows.
Cross-Collateralization
Using the combined equity across several properties as collateral, which may support additional leverage or release of individual properties over time, subject to underwriting.

Typical Documentation for Portfolio Transactions.
Documentation requirements vary by portfolio size and property mix, but most submissions include the items below.
Borrower and Entity Documents. Identification, entity formation documents, and organizational structure for the ownership entity or entities involved.
Property Documents. Current leases and rent rolls, property tax statements, insurance information, and existing loan payoff statements for each property in the portfolio.
Financial Documents. Schedule of real estate owned, bank statements, and supporting income or expense documentation as requested by underwriting.

How Portfolio Underwriting Works.
Portfolio financing is evaluated as a group, looking at the combined value, cash flow, and risk profile of all properties together rather than underwriting each property in isolation.
