Portfolio Architecture Case Study

Breaking the 'Property #2' Ceiling

Outcome: 3 New Acquisitions in 18 Months

The Challenge

The client owned two properties but was told by their 'Big 4' bank that their borrowing capacity was exhausted. Their portfolio was cross-collateralized, meaning one lender controlled all their equity, effectively capping their growth.

The Tenfold Strategy

We implemented a Lender Sequencing plan. We untangled the cross-collateralization, performed an Equity Release from Property #1 to create a deposit, and moved Property #2 to an Interest-Only structure to optimize cash flow for the next purchase.

The Results

  • 📉 Rate Reduction: 0.45% lower than previous bank.
  • 🔓 Equity Unlocked: $340,000 for future deposits.
  • 🚀 Scalability: Pipeline cleared for Properties #3, #4, and #5.
