What is a rental portfolio loan?

A rental portfolio loan, also called a blanket loan, is one long-term loan secured by several rental properties at once, here two to ten. It replaces separate mortgages with one closing and one payment, and it qualifies on the properties’ rent rather than your personal income.

How is a portfolio loan qualified?

On the debt-service coverage ratio: the portfolio’s monthly gross rent divided by its monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA. The minimum is 1.05, and leverage depends on credit.

How the debt-service coverage ratio is calculated
Example portfolio of five rentalsMonthly
Gross rent (lower of leases and the appraiser’s market rent)$12,000
Principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA (PITIA)$10,500
DSCR = $12,000 ÷ $10,5001.14 — above the 1.05 minimum

Business-purpose loans only. The programs on this page finance non-owner-occupied investment property purchased or refinanced by an LLC or corporation. They are not available for personal, family or household purposes or for a home you live in. Owners typically sign a personal guarantee. Loans are made or arranged by West Coast Capital Mortgage (NMLS #2817729, CA DRE Corporation License #02440065) and funded by our private lender. Figures are program maximums under current program guidelines as of November 5, 2026. Actual leverage, loan amount, rate, term and eligibility depend on experience, credit, liquidity, the property, the market and underwriting. Some markets receive lower leverage or are not eligible, and programs change without notice. Nothing on this page is an offer of credit, a rate quote or a commitment to lend.
