Rental Portfolio Loan

What is a Rental Portfolio Loan?
A Rental Portfolio Loan, also known as a landlord portfolio loan or a buy-to-let mortgage, is a financing solution designed for real estate investors who own multiple (usually 5 or more) rental properties. Rather than securing individual mortgages for each property, investors can consolidate their properties into a single loan, simplifying management and potentially reducing costs.
