If the lease is on a month to month basis then you have a little more flexibility.

Very stable customer base but its in female genre I don't particularly enjoy.

If you are self-employed with no full time employees your business can sponsor a Solo 401(k), which has higher contributions tools and a few other 401(k) associated plan level advantages in addition to being a very flexible investing tool. 

Keep in mind that everything is flexible. 

When established in the correct order the Land Trust doesn't trigger the same red flags with the Due on Sale as the direct transfer of a deed into an LLC, and the Land Trust can be created in such a way that your name does not have to appear on public record for the property - you can have your attorney sign for it as a "nominee trustee" until it is formed and then have it pass down to you after the signing is complete.This is a much more flexible system that works at large, but if you can find a bank that works direct and favorably with an LLC that is generally a bit easier (though your name will still appear on public record for that property.)This isn't legal advice, just my opinion as an investor.

That value can be flexible depending on work done and improvements but a refi has no bearing on the value of that property.

Let's also say together we purchase a multifamily @ $1,000,000   I understand the prohibited parties issue.1) If we (myself and the SDIRA) were going to put 20% down...does that have to be in equal amounts meaning 10% from me and 10% from SDIRA and everything is split 50 / 50 or can you still have normal deal partnership flexibility...so something like the SDIRA puts in the entire 20%, owns 50% of the property but gets a "preferred return", etc.2) Perhaps the bigger question is financing, I know there is SDIRA financing that is non recourse but that is typically for 50% LTC. 

@Justin Frye If you're an investor that is looking to grow your portfolio I'd recommend calling the smallest 5-10 banks and/or credit unions in your market.The portfolio lending arena is much more flexible than the conventional space in my experience.
