The issue I face is the guest house is fairly small but fine for a single individual.

It's like trying to keep 13-year old brothers & sisters from fighting as they try to assert & explore their individuality & freedoms.

FHA are intended for individual borrowers.

Also, equity in general (meaning high net worth individuals/families, hedge funds, institutional) are only going to back  experienced developers when it comes to an asset class as niche as data centers, especially since there are so many things that can go wrong: what if that submarket doesn't have a need for that use by the time you are entitled? 

I do tend to look at each situation individually and I do this based on my experience so it might be a little harder for someone new to do.

Hello everyone,I am reaching out to connect with individuals who have experienced significant issues with the Section 8 housing program, specifically regarding their failure to enforce their own lease agreements.As a landlord, I had a tenant under the Section 8 program who turned out to be a severe nuisance.

Without knowing how much of the renovations you were planning on doing yourself over time versus how much you were wanting/needing to finance up front, you would also want to talk with potential lenders about what loan products they have which could incorporate both the purchase price as well as the reno costs into the loan package.Hope this info helps get you pointed in the right direction - definitely keep us updated as you move forward with this project though!

Reno, as an incorporated city, is not compelled to follow the STR regs from Washoe County, but the City Council follows the County lead in many areas.  

@Varun Hegde - This is a good topic.Often a title policy is issued to "XYZ Entity or Individual(s) and/or it's assigns" – however unless the title company handling my closing can perform a date down from when the existing title policy is ordered and issue an update in my name, I purchase a new policy at closing and factor the cost into my offer price. 

The 4-quads are about 2x in price and cash flow about the same and maybe slightly lowerI see the advantage of 16-unit as rent upside w value add and reno, same PM team (same for both cases though)For the 4-quad: financing is easier and can sell individually.
