Multi-Property Blanket Mortgages in Florida

Multi-property blanket mortgages in Florida enable portfolio-level financing across diverse property types and locations, with underwriting based on aggregate collateral value and cash flow.

Underwriting Standards

Florida lenders evaluate blanket mortgage applications holistically: individual property appraisals, aggregate loan-to-value ratios (typically 65-75% for commercial), combined debt service coverage (minimum 1.25x), borrower experience, and portfolio diversification. Properties in multiple Florida counties require recording in each county.

Due-on-Sale Restrictions

Most Florida blanket mortgages include due-on-sale clauses preventing transfer without lender consent. Selling individual properties requires partial release approval. The lender ensures that remaining collateral adequately secures the outstanding balance after each release.
