I have mostly seen investors use DSCR loans once they have tapped out all of the traditional methods.

Know how you'll repay the loan, whether by selling the property quickly or refinancing with a traditional mortgage.- Focus on the property's potential value.

How much term is left, strength of the tenant, rent escalators, rent/sq ft, etc.You also want to make sure you have a good understanding of the roof, parking lot, and mechanicals because in a traditional NNN lease, the landlord is reponsible for these items..and they can get expensive.

I know you can convert a traditional IRA to Roth by just paying tax on the amount converted, but no other ways to inject more money in there.

They are cash flowing better than traditional acquisitions and require less cash down to purchase.

I'm also having fits with traditional banks because the loan would be considered commercial.

The west coast markets have traditionally been appreciation markets, and if you are not forced to sell and can hold long term, risk diminishes.

Traditional loans through Fannie/Freddie/Jumbo lenders won't allow multiple ADU's on a property. 

Over the last several years casinos have went up, Ford Field (Lions) and Comerica Park (Tigers) were erected and people who loved the city began brainstorming how to revive it.More recently, Little Ceaser's Arena (new home of Pistons and Red Wings) construction started and is due to open Sept this year.

The odds are against us since the seller could easily list their property via traditional means in 2yrs when they retire.
