If it works as a traditional rental, everything else is gravy on top.

I financed this deal using cash, which allowed me to move quickly and secure the property without the delays that can come with traditional financing.

Loans typically get paid back on a refinance or buy out period but if the property fails to gain enough equity within that period of time it can be a lost deal and painful.I would advise you to look into traditional or Non/QM financing where you use your credit score or income to buy the home.

I may also do a couple traditional DST's to keep some funds available for sheltered reinvestment just in case.  

We primarily focused on renting month to month or doing a traditional lease.

I will echo some other folks sentiment, getting max financing through traditional banks will be a challenge.  

You're not going to show cashflow on a traditional LTR if you're putting 20-25% down in this environment. 

@Virginia VanOeverenAs a private lender, it truly should be no different than traditional lender.

There are several reasons why you might like private lending when compared to traditional banking.We provide much faster approval, there are fewer bureaucratic hurdles in our process. 

The second one would be more traditional, but are pretty pricey on points and rate.Would be happy to connect and see if we could help!
