These properties tend to hold value better and offer stronger appreciation compared to duplexes or small multifamily units.

Most lenders want to see homeownership and experience with flipping and or holding properties.   

Long term buy and hold RE in good locations is probably one of the lowest risk investment vehicles IMO, similar to blue chip aristocrat stocks except even less risky because even long-established companies can go out of business but real estate very, very rarely ever goes to zero. 

The wholesaler created new terms with the tenants and the wholesaler plans to hold it so that the new loan gets seasoned, before selling the note.I opted not to get involved and have started my knowledge building into private lending.

@William BohanVariety:  BDC's, MLP's, various closed end funds holding credit/debt instruments and/or MLP's. 

If not, then a reverse exchange for us to simply hold the property for up to 180 days is possible.  

I just can't imagine why you would liquidate your successful, growing real estate holdings to send your money off to something that is super risky and doesn't pay that well over the long term.

But I am not trying to sell the note, I will continue to hold it, and in the worst-case scenario, the borrower will become current, or in the best-case scenario I will foreclose and gain equity.

So, a tenant can better tolerate small yearly increases rather than holding off and giving them a large increase further down the line.

Just one question, I would be able to do a cash out refi even if I don't put any work into the home if I decide to buy and hold?
