@Evan ParkerDisclosure: My company sets up checkbook Solo 401k plansThe big name firms make their money from trades of securities and don't have a vested interest in allowing people with their plans to invest into alternative assets such as real estate.

However the form/procedure is quite confusing so I was wondering which of the below would be the better alternative:1.

Alternately remove them and extend the upper deck to the left end of the building.

I've seen people discussing Home Ready as well as Home Possible loans -- it looks like they both may serve as better alternatives to FHA financing, and I think they both don't require that you don't own other properties. 

Most of the alternative lenders that would do the loan with no income verification would say no because of the rural nature of Atlantic, Iowa (6700 people and 50 miles or so from Omaha and 75 from Des Moines).

Currently 4 Counties are going to use alternative laws provided by ACT 2018-577 FOR 2019 Tax AuctIon.

Alternative monies is going to run in the high 6s-mid7s range depending on ltv, loan amount, etc. 

An alternate option to also consider would be taking the money and using it be a private lender on a deal with an experienced investor. 

If you're at 75% or less, you should be able to get long term money, even if it's alternative - 30 year ARMs at rates in the 6-8% range, as long as debt service works (rents cover PITI).The other one seems doable too, if same type of deal w/no work.
