Negotiate seller concessions, consider affordable markets, and focus on long-term equity growth through appreciation and loan paydown.

@Robert QuirozIf the owner already owns the property without a loan they can cashflow the property even if rents are below market.

Real estate loans are taxed as you pay down the principle, not when you borrow the money.

We financed the purchase using a combination of cash and a hard money loan.

These loans are for a minimum $100K to $1-1.5M (different loan guidelines depending on the max loan amount).

To access your home equity without selling, you can explore options like a home equity loan, a line of credit (HELOC), or a cash-out refinance.

@Ben O'Neill I have a second, and for a short while a third loan on a property.

He ultimately refi’d into a loan that felt hefty at first, but it freed him up to add another unit in the building.

@Tina Artigliere@Alicia ProkosFor these Quest Solo 401k plan account holders, what is essential is to find a new Solo 401k plan provider who offers a Solo 401k plan with the service and features that the account holder needs such as Solo 401k loans, alternative investments, Roth and Mega Backdoor Roth Solo 401k contributions, 5500-EZ & 1099-R preparation and filing, etc.The process entails restating the Quest Solo 401k plan where the Quest Solo 401k plan documents are replaced with the Solo 401k plan documents of the new Solo 401k provider. 

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.
