I have found that lenders have varying appetites for asset classes and deal sizes.You could go to one bank for example where they do commercial loans but it is an after thought to them.

There are tons of lenders out there with all kinds of appetites.

So even if it were a better path to wealth it’s not MY better path to wealth.Cash-flow investing in Class D neighborhoods in Cleveland might be a great pro-forma path to wealth but I have zero appetite for it.

I can post the actual opportunity in the Marketplace, but am not even sure if anyone has an appetite for this.If there are any suggestions or companies that any readers know of who buys these types of properties, please reply here or send me a message.They will get a decent return annually as well.Thanks!

(or 2bd/1ba home if my risk appetite is lower)I'd appreciate hearing reasons why could be a bad idea.

Having had success with the three SFHs has given the confidence and the appetite to do some bigger deals.

I could provide a long list of reasons but it primarily revolves around (1) the complexity of their product offerings and (2) relationship building.Give them a call, tell them what are planning to do, and find out their product offering and appetite for your type of real estate...and their appetite for you.You can get lender referrals from other investors, brokers, agents, BP members, meetups, REI meetings.

I know in some areas there's local appetite to "grandfather in" the unpermitted "granny flats". 

I’ve heard you can talk to various property managers and learn their target appetite.  

Those will heavily (positively) impact your monthly cash flow, but I guess your interest rate view and risk appetite also comes into play!
