Can I obtain more attractive real estate financing terms by using a stock portfolio as additional collateral?
I’d like to purchase a rental property but I’m having a hard time obtaining financing because I am currently a graduate student and don’t have any income. However, I do have a stock portfolio valued at about 5,000. Is it possible to leverage the stock portfolio as additional collateral to obtain financing?
Thanks for your help.

If you don’t have income you will have no way to repay the loan, even with a large portfolio.
