What is a Blanket Loan?

Definition

A mortgage which creates a Lien on two or more pieces of property. Blanket mortgages are often used by individuals or companies that have more than one piece of real estate, and that want to take out a mortgage or second mortgage on the combined value of their properties. Instead of taking a mortgage on each property, the real estate developer takes out one mortgage on the combined value of the properties.
The blanket loans that we are going to be discussing below are normally for  Single family detached residences (SFR)  Ranging from 1-4 unit residences. Rates Ranging from:   5.50 – 7.5%
Minimum Property Value  $50,000 – 100,000 in designed markets. Most lenders offer 5 or 10 year term with balloon up to 30 year amortization 25 year amortization.  For clients who do not want a balloon after five year we do have other lenders that offer better terms fixed and fully amortizing for 25 years. Unfortunately, most will not lend on a real large portfolio most are typically capped at 4-5 properties in a blanket. Most lenders also have a minimum loan amount for a blanket loan of $300,00 or normally $500,000. Below I will post as many different blanket loan programs that I can find in my notes. In the past i have funded many blanket loans and can be a real resource.

New Blanket loan Program!
Many lenders offer a blanket loan with a balloon payment at the end of 5 years. Which was the norm and is still the norm with many of the loan programs listed below. Now i have an old lender who is offering a new product. Minimum Fico for most or all blanket loans is 650.
Now offering the following terms.:  3/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM , Fixed for 5 years 30-35 am, or Fixed for 30-35 years  (70-75 LTV) 
There are two lenders who will offer fixed for 30-35 years. The first will fund a max of 5 the next will fund as many as 9 in total.
Normally the properties have to be the vicinity of the same three counties. Rate is based off of credit score. If you have a middle score just over 650 you are looking at 8-8.5%. If your score is 700-800 range 7-7.5%.  This is a no doc loan that is the reason the rate are a little higher than the local bank.  The way you determine which term to pick comes down to how long you want to hold onto the properties for.
Please review the other programs below and tell me which program is the best pick.

Conclusion! Here we try to make sense of it all.

Depending on the properties we could amortize the portfolio over 25 or 30 years but the terms are 5 or 10 year balloons. Typically, the portfolio has better rates than doing each loan individually. In fact, this month we have 50% off on the origination fee, which is only typically 1 point anyway so if we get started it would only be half a point for him.  A portfolio loan requires one special purpose entity for all properties.

 

Can we just fund them individually?

If he or she chooses to finance them individually we could do a 30 year fixed loan.  This loan also has 1 origination point with a minimum of $1,500. He can borrow as an individual or LLC with this.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

There are about 5 different blanket loan programs that I normally use and recommend. The problem with the above blanket loan program is the fact that they require a minimum of 7 properties. There are other lenders that require either 5 or even 2 or 3.

Example 2  Blanket Loan.

We offer fixed and fully amortizing for 25 years although we will not lend on a real large portfolio I am typically capped at 4-5 properties in a blanket. Normally blanket loans have a 5 year fixed period with a 25-30 Term with a  Balloon Payment after 5 years. This lender offers a fixed period of 25-30 years so for a blanket loan this is great.  I have a package that i sent today to this lender to see if this is true. In the past i have used this lender for no doc loans but never for a blanket loan. If they produce I will have a better product because unless you want to sell in 5 years who wants a balloon payment.

Starting at 7.5%    25 -30 years
