One rental portfolio loan covering your El Paso rentals.
Built for investors who own multiple properties. Roll five or more rentals into one blanket loan with a single payment, free up capital to keep scaling, and release individual properties as you sell. Small-balance doors in Socorro, Horizon City and Fabens add up faster than separate mortgages can handle. Business-purpose only, and every structure is set in underwriting.

How it works
Instead of a separate mortgage on every door, we structure one blanket loan secured by the portfolio, with the option to release individual properties as you sell them. It is built for investors scaling past a handful of rentals.
Why does a blanket loan make sense for an El Paso rental portfolio specifically?
Because low per-door pricing lets you assemble more units for the same capital, and a portfolio loan is built for exactly that unit count. El Paso's mid-tier home value was $237,834 in June 2026, with Socorro at $209,855, Horizon City at $223,115, Clint at $224,744, San Elizario at $181,064 and Fabens at $167,675. Ten doors across those submarkets can cost roughly what four or five doors run in Austin, where the mid-tier value was $433,986 over the same month. Once an investor is past a handful of small-balance rentals, tracking a separate mortgage on each one gets harder to manage than a single blanket loan with one payment. See DSCR loans if you would rather finance doors one at a time. Subject to underwriting.
Does rolling my El Paso rentals into one blanket loan change how each property's tax bill works?
No. Every parcel keeps its own tax bill under its own overlay; the blanket loan only consolidates your payment. El Paso County has no separate road and bridge rate, so every parcel carries the county rate, R. E. Thomason General Hospital District and El Paso County Community College District, plus its own city and school district. A City of El Paso, El Paso ISD stack runs about 2.64 per $100 of value with no homestead relief, but the same city against Ysleta ISD runs closer to 2.76, and a far-east parcel inside a Paseo del Este MUD can push past 3.3 per $100. That is a wider spread across eight ISDs, eleven Paseo del Este MUDs and two emergency services districts than a one-ISD metro, so a multi-property El Paso portfolio needs a per-parcel overlay check, not a single blended tax number. Talk to your CPA about how a multi-parcel entity files against that.
Do I need separate insurance policies across an El Paso rental portfolio?
Yes, each property carries its own hazard policy; a blanket loan does not merge coverage. El Paso County is the lowest-cost catastrophe-loss county among Texas's major metros: total paid homeowners loss per policy ran $484 in 2025, against $1,765 in Dallas County and $1,092 in Bexar County, and the county sits roughly 700 miles from the Gulf, outside TWIA's coastal wind-pool footprint. Wind still accounted for $175 of paid loss per policy in 2025, with water at $187, so read the wind and hail deductible on each policy rather than assuming it away. No El Paso County average premium in dollars has been published from a primary source, so we don't quote one; get a real quote per address before you close, and confirm flood coverage parcel by parcel since no county flood-zone share has been sourced either.
How does a release work when I sell one property out of an El Paso blanket loan?
The sold property comes out of the loan and the rest of the portfolio stays financed. Portfolio loans through us are structured with the option to release individual properties as you sell them, so one exit does not force a refinance of the whole file. El Paso's listing side is unusually tight for a Texas metro right now: active listings fell 15.4 percent year over year as of July 2026 and only 10.9 percent of listings carried a price cut, which tends to support faster individual exits inside a larger portfolio. Anything involving how a release interacts with your specific loan documents or entity structure is a question for us at underwriting, not something to assume from a general rule.
Should I worry about El Paso's short-term rental tax change if my portfolio is long-term rentals?
Not directly, but know the line before you mix property types in one blanket loan. El Paso City Council voted on June 9, 2026 to begin collecting Hotel Occupancy Tax on short-term rentals, with collections starting 90 to 180 days after adoption; no permit regime, cap, or specific tax rate has been confirmed beyond that vote. A long-term rental portfolio is not touched by that change, but if you are weighing adding a short-term unit into a blanket loan, price it as an unsettled, still-developing rule rather than a fixed cost, and confirm the current status with the city before you underwrite it.
Does a Fort Bliss tenant base change how I should think about portfolio-wide vacancy risk?
It changes turnover mechanics, not the loan structure, so model it across every door with a military tenant. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. section 3955), a servicemember with PCS or deployment orders of 90 days or more can end a lease early with written notice, and for a month-to-month tenancy the termination takes effect 30 days after the next rent due date, with no early-termination fee allowed. With 30,288 active-duty personnel and 185,499 military retirees tied to Fort Bliss as of the Texas Comptroller's 2025 count, a portfolio with several Fort Bliss-adjacent rentals should assume that break clause is embedded in more than one lease at a time, not treat it as a one-off.
How many Socorro or Fabens doors does it take before a blanket loan works?
Five or more. That is where a blanket structure starts, and in El Paso it arrives on less capital than in most Texas metros because per-door values are low: $209,855 in Socorro, $181,064 in San Elizario, and $167,675 in Fabens as of June 2026. Under five doors, financing each property on its own with a DSCR loan is usually the cleaner path. Subject to underwriting.
Do five Fabens doors at $167,675 clear the $500,000 portfolio floor?
Portfolio loans start at $500,000, and small-balance doors add up faster than investors expect. Five Fabens-type rentals near the $167,675 mid-tier value come to roughly $838,375 of value (167,675 x 5 = 838,375) before any leverage math, so a five-door El Paso portfolio is usually in range rather than under it. Loan amount, not door count alone, is what has to clear the floor. Send the schedule of properties and we will size it. Subject to underwriting.
Local rules move. Every tax rate, fee, ordinance and market figure here comes from a primary source and carries the date we read it, and we correct them as the rules change. Where a number is mid-change or we could not verify it, we say so rather than guess. Before you commit a budget, confirm anything that drives it with the city or county, and talk to your attorney or CPA on questions of law or tax.
