.: Quote from @David Lecko: Quote from @Mike Montanye: I have been researching wholesaling as an investment option.

Airbnb came out with a new co-host option where you could get paid for your services to assist owners by selecting % of rents...maybe have him pay you 99.9%?

There is risk in both options & as an investor you need to weigh those risks & stand firm on whatever you decide. 

Don't leave this option OFF the table. 

@William Bohan as others outlined, there are several logical options, all with pros and cons (of course.) 

Several options you can explore to get the down payment capital: Solo401k; HELOC on personal residence or from equity of the SFR; Cash Value Life Insurance Policy; Business Credit; Private Lenders, to name a few.

If the rent stabilizes, I can then consider refinancing these properties using DSCR or other valid options (please educate me, and let me know what other options you think are valid).

As noted, if your options are Reg D, private offering vs fully registered public offering, even if you are talking Pink Sheet (OTC) stocks, you have public filing costs, annual audit requirements, and likely more on-going expenses that have to be covered by the property(s) owned by the offering.  

One option I haven't noticed being mentioned is to auction it.

To access your home equity without selling, you can explore options like a home equity loan, a line of credit (HELOC), or a cash-out refinance.
