Couldn’t come close to those results going a traditional SFR.  

Hello, i'm looking to get a loan for an investment property in dallas but can't go the traditional route due to too high of a DTI and being a business owner.

Seller financing does not always sell for more money and if there are big price declines then you may end up having to forecloseMy recommendation is to sell it with borrower getting traditional financing and put that $ in a tax friendlier account than loan interest = ordinary income rates

Help me evaluate this off market deal that's non-traditional.

As far as the information that I've got, renting dor traveling nurses can pay about 3 times the traditional rent.

Plus I pay a referral fee too realtors that can be close to the commission of what you were going to make selling it traditionally.  

I believe the most common path is to use cash, private, or hard money, and then to refi into something traditional once the work is done.

Thus do it as a traditional transaction whereby you get title to the property, and if there is a loan, it is a deed of trust and a promissory note.

We've found the traditional "live in one half and rent out the other" is a little bit more difficult to accomplish these days but we've had luck pivoting to buying a single family home with an in law suite with separate access.

Might be worth seeing how flexible the price is.Cypress has a newer Duplex/4plex community...the numbers won't work as a traditional rental but might make sense as a house hack.If you look further out...there's a new construction neighborhood in Sealy (Westward Pointe) with lots of incentives that I've sold a few homes in...the appraisals mostly have come in much higher than the purchase prices.
