Wrote letter to random individual How did you finance this deal?

Even without a track record these individuals presumably know you as an upstanding and trustworthy guy and this means you only have to sell them on the merits of the real estate.

Can someone please advise me on the pro's and con's and keeping the lot as a single lot with all 14 duplexes on it or subdividing each lot to have 14 individual lots? 

My spouse and I prefer not having to split things up and retitle ownership under separate individual trusts.

Is there a faster method then sending applications to individual tenants in response to their request to see the property?

I will say that the borrower has a better chance to negotiate on the fees, interest and when they are to be paid with a private individual lender as opposed to a hard money style lender (that has more overhead).

Individual homebuyers cannot compete with institutional money. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as a U.S. 

This keeps costs and timelines to the absolute most efficient, enabling us to see really competitive returns.
