Again my advice comes from working with investors like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" whose whole philosophy is if it cash flow dont sell it use the equity to buy another property. 

What factors do you consider when deciding between traditional financing and private money lending for real estate deals? 

Hard money loans can facilitate faster closing times compared to traditional financing, allowing you to secure and renovate properties quickly.

As far as loan differences, I'd connect with an investor friendly lender to go over the pros & cons of FHA (3.5%) & Conventional (5%) if you want to go traditional financing route. 

If your network likes the pure equity play, you should offer that.With the "debt" financing, are you planning on using this as your mortgage, with no "traditional" mortgage ahead of it?  

These weren’t traditional “tear downs”.

Some GPs are rich and powerful.

But retail has trimmed physical footprint to defeat that---> yes, lot of store closing, but gov would say it'sretail/walgreens issue or Amazon issueI think people look at the wrong numbers sometimes, but yes in general jobless claims need to and will rise---->yes, more white collar job is affected but since they are rich in cash and rich in equity, that's not translateinto home price reduction so far.More and more evidence is showing that home price appreciation occured because of migration or transfer of wealthrather than the strength of local economy.

I'm renting them as non-traditional units (6 of them). 

Usually, this would include something like a holding company ("Hold Co"), typically a traditional LLC, which in turn then owns an investment entity, often a traditional or Series LLC, which will be the entity that owns the assets/property invested into (the "Investment Co").
