For the most part, I have been steered towards private or hard money loans rather than traditional lenders.

So many "traditional" agents need to at least be educated on this topic and not keep saying "it's illegal" because they don't understand and haven't tried to...

Note, you still have to have a custodian for all IRA's but the LLC gives you the ability to bypass them when making investments etc...One isn't right or wrong they're just different. 

I have plans of refinancing the hard money loan with a traditional 30 year loan in May'24.

Verify the actual income matches the seller's claims2.Consider hiring a professional appraiser experienced in valuing self-storage properties, especially if traditional bank financing will be used.

Enter the build-to-rent trend, offering a lifeline for those looking for affordable, flexible housing solutions in these booming regions.High interest rates have traditionally been a deterrent for prospective homebuyers, pushing them towards the rental market instead.

This is about 50 units - half traditional hotel rooms and half more studio/1 bedroom weekly or monthly rental.

Tenant pays a monthly fee for this service in lieau of a traditional security deposit.EXAMPLE: you require a $3,000 security deposit.

Please tell us more about the financing you have lined up - is it a traditional mortgage, DSR loan, HELOC...Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location(s) to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

So, usually, agents get something like a 5-6% commission split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents for the traditional market deals.
