But I bet your market is different, and you may have other events, businesses, facilities, or institutions which you can use for long-term rentals.

I am not referring to trying to refrain from watching Disney DVDsI am talking about taking adopting a different mindset when it comes to investing.I am a relatively new investor but no longer a rookieI have been renting properties since 2011I currently have five tenants and my business is doing alright.Because I purchased during the bubble bust I ended up getting all cash purchases so I have never had to get a mortgageThis is great for my income and stability picture but bad for having experience borrowing money.Last year I lost a deal because of this inexperience.I want to try something new this coming year.  

Are you considering "conventional" to be Fannie/Freddie or are you considering "conventional" to be long term fixed from a banking institution but not Fannie/Freddie?  

As the trustee you then can open non-custodial account at bank, brokerage or any other financial institution for your Solo 401k trust. 

Over the last year I have been the lead broker on an acquisitions team for one of the largest institutional investment groups in the country.  

I only ask as anyone bank, lending institution, private lender etc... would like to see that you are aware of what it takes to operate and sustain the business as you will be "owner occupant".  

So when you had these hot beds of real estate speculation and borrowers could walk with the only thing they lose is FICO score and in many cases they put nothing down.. well they just walked.. and it became like chasing a falling knife it just got bad and kept getting worse.on the investor side.. you had thousands of investors in short term notes that could not get refinanced.. and probably in your line of work syndicators and other institutional investors who were stuck and could not refi and the lenders chose to foreclose.. especially if lets say Rialto bought your little bank that went under.. they were brutal on chasing he security .

Some institutions have their own internal rules.  

@Corby Goade - didn't you recently hear about another financial institution that might be offering cash-out refis on investment property? 

My question is; is there a bank or any institution that can lend her money to buy a 200K- 300K house with a  $150K down?
