Acquisition Credit

Cross-Collateralized Blanket Loan

Pledge multiple properties as one loan — unlock higher LTV on new acquisitions.

Overview

Blanket loans (portfolio lenders, DSCR blankets, or bank commercial lines) let you cross-collateralize 2–20 properties under a single facility. Aggregate equity supports higher LTV on a new acquisition (often 80%+ vs 75% single-property DSCR), enables release-price clauses for individual sales, and can eliminate the down payment entirely on the next deal when portfolio equity is sufficient.
