If you own the business and the land, I would keep them together.

I'd prefer a small business.

Quote from @Jaxin Pierce: I'm a self-starter entrepreneur who owns a vending machine business.

Quote from @Benjamin Finney: I'm curious what real estate investors and private money lenders like myself use to inform their businesses strategy and predict future market conditions.

In 2015, my sister had a business which was essentially her livelihood.

For example, for a business owner; they have no practical way to 1031 exchange.

That lasted a few months, but the REC recently released a new bulletin clarifying the legislation and basically saying that bill was meant to stop all forms of "wholesaling" as a business practice. 

For one, private money lenders are much quicker—I've seen deals close in just a few days, which is a lifesaver for time-sensitive projects like real estate flips or urgent business needs.

Several options you can explore to get the down payment capital: Solo401k; HELOC on personal residence or from equity of the SFR; Cash Value Life Insurance Policy; Business Credit; Private Lenders, to name a few.
