How do San Rafael owners get a second advance on top of the first?
- Start the form and note the first advance's debit ($469 a day in the example).
- We call to go over the first contract and what the account can carry.
- Offers come back with the combined debit shown for each.
When should you choose something else?
If the two debits would take too much of an average day's deposits, a second position adds strain. In that case consolidation replaces the advances with one lower payment. For a gap that repeats each month, a line of credit costs less than stacking advances.
