Is that the F.O.E. property?

It has a super low teaser rate for the first year then can move with the market under certain limits. It’s an ARM.

I’m also strongly considering putting the money into a REIT where I’m with like 20-30 other investors on a commercial property … something like that, with a proven manager who knows what they’re doing. I got a buddy who made like 250% on his money with one of these

Good insight here bammer. As a potential alternative to a REIT, have you looked into QOZ funds at all? Lots of stuff happening there.

I assume underwriting on the mortgage on the second property will pick up on this and require you to have liquid assets to cover the repayment of that home equity loan, no?

I was actually curious about this -- Are there pros/cons to working with the same lender on both properties vs. different lenders?

Re: your use of "pick up on this," it's not like we'd be trying to hide anything, and yes adequate liquidity would be integral to our planning around this. But I'm curious to what extent the lender might view income-based liquidity more favorably than if we had a tenant in the second property.

yeah, i didn't mean to use "pick up on this" in a perjorative sense. it's just that they'll want to know sources of income from at least the last three months. and if they see that the amount from a down payment came from a source other than self-generated income, it just may get flagged. for the original loan, there more than likely would need to be a history of tenant payments for the initial underwriting.

as for pros vs. cons, the obvious pro is not having to deal with two lenders. plus, if that one lender traditionally offers lower rates, you could qualify for a re-fi on both properties. also, the mortgages could be "merged" depending on the lender's requirements (but this would allow the lender to cross-collateralize the loan (meaning, they can foreclose on both homes to cover the cost of a default that may otherwise only affect one), and they could require an assignment of rents from the second home to satisfy requirements for the first). to me, i like diversification. i think there's less risk, and a reduced likelihood of a sale of your loan for both homes to the secondary market.

SUPER helpful stuff here, thanks man!
