Blanket Loans for Real Estate Investors
Blanket loans allow investors to finance multiple properties under one consolidated loan. As a mortgage broker, Westpark Loans works with lenders offering portfolio-based financing designed to simplify management and scale real estate holdings.
These programs are commonly used by experienced investors seeking efficiency, leverage, and strategic portfolio growth.
Blanket loan programs are available nationwide through Velocity and other approved capital sources

What Is a Blanket Loan?
A blanket loan is a single mortgage that covers multiple properties rather than financing each property individually.
Instead of separate notes and closing processes, a blanket structure consolidates financing into one loan secured by multiple assets.
Blanket loans are often used for:
- Portfolio consolidation
- Multiple property acquisitions
- Refinancing several assets into one structure
- Simplifying loan management
- Scaling rental portfolios
BLANKET LOAN QUALIFICATION GUIDELINES
Typical parameters may include:
- Multiple properties under one note
- Portfolio-based underwriting
- Cross-collateralized structures
- DSCR-style income evaluation
- Flexible documentation compared to traditional financing
- Entity ownership permitted in many programs
Guidelines vary by lender and borrower profile.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Blanket loan structures may include:
- Fixed or adjustable-rate options
- Interest-only availability in select programs
- Partial release provisions (program dependent)
- Portfolio-level underwriting
- Strategic refinance or expansion flexibility
We structure blanket loans around long-term portfolio strategy rather than individual property isolation.
