A blanket mortgage is a single loan secured by two or more properties at once, so one note and one payment cover a group of rentals instead of a stack of separate mortgages. Investors in Ojus, Florida use it to buy several homes together or to consolidate loans they already have, and the release clause decides how easily one property can later be sold off the loan.
Call to speak with a licensed loan officer about blanket mortgages for a property in Ojus. Programs vary by borrower, property and investor.
Small multifamily buildings in Ojus
5.4% of homes in Ojus sit in two- to four-unit buildings. In Miami-Dade County, 556 investor loans in 2024 were secured by 2-4 unit properties, 10.0% of investor lending there. Investors who own several small buildings are the ones most likely to ask whether one loan can cover them all.
One note, several properties: how the lien is spread
Underwriting a blanket mortgage means underwriting every property on it. The lender orders a valuation for each address, reviews each lease or rent estimate and checks each title for liens and easements.
Once those pieces pass, the loan is written as one obligation. The payment covers the whole group, and the lien sits on every property until it is paid down or released. For homes in Ojus, ask how insurance must be written, since many lenders want each property insured with the lender named on every policy. Missing coverage on one address can create a default on the whole loan, so keep those policies organized.

Release clauses when you sell one property in Ojus
A release clause, sometimes called a partial release provision, spells out what you must pay to remove one property from the blanket lien so you can sell or refinance it on its own. Without it, selling a single home could require paying off the whole loan.
Lenders usually set a release price for each property, and it is often more than that property's share of the balance, so the remaining homes stay well secured. Read this part of the term sheet slowly. Ask how the release price is figured, whether a fresh appraisal is needed and how long a release request usually takes, so a sale does not stall at the closing table.
Who this tends to fit

- You hold the properties in one LLC and want one lender relationship
- You prefer one closing and one loan file over many
- You plan to keep most of the homes rather than sell them one by one

Cross-collateral risk and when separate loans make more sense
The convenience of a single payment comes with a trade: your properties lose their independence. A blanket lien links their fates, so one troubled rental can put pressure on equity you built in the others.
Separate mortgages may make more sense when you plan to refinance properties at different times, when one home is much weaker than the rest or when you want the option to sell a single rental without negotiating a release. Some investors split the difference by grouping only rentals with similar condition and plans. Ask a loan officer to compare both structures for your actual properties before you decide.

Questions Ojus investors ask about blanket mortgages
How are taxes and insurance handled on a blanket loan?
Each property keeps its own tax bill and insurance policy. Some lenders collect escrow for every address, while others ask you to pay directly and show proof. A lapse on one policy can be a default on the whole loan, so set reminders for every renewal and make sure the lender is named correctly on each policy.
Who offers blanket loans for rentals in Florida?
Blanket loans on one- to four-unit rentals come from portfolio lenders, some DSCR lenders and private lenders, each with its own terms. A licensed loan officer or broker can tell you which lenders handle groups like yours. Look up any company's or loan officer's license on NMLS Consumer Access before you send personal or entity documents.
Is a blanket loan a business-purpose loan?
Blanket loans on rental property are usually business-purpose loans, and many are closed in an LLC. Rules and disclosures for business-purpose credit differ from a home loan, so ask the loan officer which apply to your loan. The lender still checks credit, property values and whether the rents and your finances support the debt.
Can I sell one house that is on a blanket loan in Ojus?
Usually, if the loan has a release clause. You pay a release price set in the loan documents, and the lender removes its lien from that home so the sale can close.
