South Dakota Portfolio Loan FAQ

What is a portfolio loan in South Dakota?+
A portfolio loan in South Dakota allows you to finance multiple investment properties under a single loan with one monthly payment. Instead of managing separate mortgages for each property, a portfolio loan (also called a blanket mortgage) consolidates them into one streamlined package. This simplifies your finances and can unlock better terms as lenders see the strength of the entire portfolio.
How many properties can I finance with a portfolio loan in South Dakota?+
Most portfolio lenders in South Dakota require a minimum of 5 properties, though some will consider portfolios starting at 3 properties. There is generally no maximum - some lenders finance portfolios of 20, 50, or even 100+ properties. The key factor is the overall strength and cash flow of the combined portfolio.
What is the difference between a blanket mortgage and a portfolio loan in South Dakota?+
In South Dakota, the terms are often used interchangeably. A blanket mortgage is a single loan that covers multiple properties, which is essentially what a portfolio loan does. The main distinction is that "portfolio loan" can also refer to any loan a lender keeps on their own books rather than selling to the secondary market. For real estate investors, both terms describe financing multiple properties under one loan.
What are portfolio loan rates in South Dakota?+
Portfolio loan rates in South Dakota typically range from 6.5% to 10%, depending on the size of the portfolio, combined DSCR, borrower credit score, and LTV. Larger portfolios with strong cash flow often qualify for better rates. Working with Sinai Capital, we shop your portfolio to 50+ lenders to find the most competitive rate available.
Can I add properties to my portfolio loan later?+
This depends on the lender and loan structure. Some South Dakota portfolio lenders offer release clauses that allow you to add or remove individual properties from the blanket mortgage without refinancing the entire loan. Others may require a new loan or modification. We can match you with lenders who offer flexible portfolio structures that accommodate growth.
What is cross-collateralization in a portfolio loan?+
Cross-collateralization means that all the properties in your South Dakota portfolio serve as collateral for the single loan. If you default on one property, the lender has a claim on all properties in the portfolio. While this sounds risky, it is what allows lenders to offer better terms and higher leverage on portfolio loans. Some lenders offer partial release clauses so you can sell individual properties without triggering a full payoff.
