I use a loan servicer who processes the borrowers payment and then sends to me.

@Ryan Daulton,You don't have to buy a house in SDIRA without a loan; you can easily get a loan, but it must be non-recourse.

Consider a 15 year loan.

Gradually scale by researching high-growth markets, partnering with experienced investors, and exploring financing options like SBA loans.

Investment Info:

Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in West Allis.

Purchase price: $294,500

Cash invested: $144,000

This was my first commercial MF and off market deal. My agent ...

I would upgrade properties every 12-15 months as allowed by low down payment loans if my significant other wasn’t risk adverse and opposed to moving.

Buy the house and loan her the money. 

And if it were set up where everything went through a title company so the buyer pays the title company, they manage the buyer's loan (from me), and the title company ensures my mortgage is paid without my direct involvement... what parts of the transaction would feel risky or not worth the headache to you? 

If you are using a loan, well there is simply no inventory in Cleveland.

Other than paying for an appraisal or BPO (and maybe a credit report), you should not pay a lender anything until your loan funds.
