What Is a Cross-Collateral Loan and How Does It Work?
A cross-collateral loan allows real estate investors to use multiple properties as collateral for one mortgage, creating a portfolio-level financing strategy instead of structuring one loan at a time. This approach is especially useful in the non-QM space, where flexibility, DSCR qualification, and equity leverage matter more than traditional underwriting limits.
