I don't think the windfall is as big as you say, or why would you care about large downpayments on income-producing assets that would appreciate over time?

As someone who deals and talks to real Private Lenders (small shops run by a guy who lends his own capital and doesn't use big box), they have a hard and fast business model that produces the rate of return they need to remain profitable and curb the risk on their cash.So the best product for a budding fix and flip investor is the bridge loan which includes acquisition money and construction money. 

Value add ( do you want to do reno/raise rents), or stabilized (income producing, lower maintenance). 

@Lauren CartmellWhen selling a tenant-occupied property, it’s best to work with an investor-friendly realtor who specializes in investment properties and has access to income-producing buyers.

If an asset is throwing off a certain yield that is not commiserate with it's risk, then investors will then begin paying more for that asset, thus decreasing it's yield....or start paying less for the asset which would increase it's yield, until it was at the proper risk/return rate to produce the yield that is truly reflective of it's risk.The problem is novice real estate investors get the risk/reward correlation backwards.
