I'm hoping appraisers start to see the value of these additional units in the next few years so that I can Refi into a traditional 30yr while rates are still low.

The closing will be in 2-3 weeks - since no traditional bank financing in most cases - just like any other investor purchase.My broker knows full well what I am doing.

I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

If you need help with landlord laws, house backing strategies, or traditional MTR investing specific to New Jersey happy to help.

Instead of a traditional down payment, I would give them some money (maybe just to bring the loan back to even).The upside if taken over the loan at the current balance, with some rehab and hopefully getting the front lot back would be a nice ROI. 

Anyone getting traditional financing on the home will have to have to have an appraisal, and the appraisal will be based on the comps.The only exception is if you find an all-cash buyer.

That is the traditional way to handle it.

Don't pass up free money.I admire your two-pronged approach between RE and traditional stock market investments. 

If they hire our management company, Premier Property Management, we have a very traditional fee structure similar to other management companies. 

And could even get a second home loan if doing traditional financing.
