Probably the one where you do one loan because of lower transaction costs.

It might make sense to get a first position line of credit on the first house if the rent revenue is strong

I am a partner in a general partnership which owns a house with NO Mortgage. We are looking at a office building for purchase. What is the best way to finance this purchase using our current property

  1. Take a mortgage on first property for the down payment and then take a mortgage on the second property for the remainder
    OR
  2. Take a mortgage on the first property for the amount to make 100% purchase the second property

It will depend on interest rates and closing costs. I would way it all out and see which way works best.
