Not only can CoC/IRR be used to compare alternative investments, they are also superior to cap rate, so why use cap rate at all?

Sounds like my only "alternative" option would be to go back to the seller and try to get him to carry an additional 250k.

Im prepared for alternatives should the personal loan prevent me from refi due to credit limitation.  

I understand that @Hogan Ch , but as out of state investor I don't have any other alternative (yet).I'm looking for the best option based on current market status.

As an alternative investment I am interested in obtaining some ground rents in Maryland, and am looking for some more information about them.How do you find ground rents for sale?

So, I have a small commercial building in Memphis and a vacant space (1500sq.ft.) I am considering building it out into multiple executive suites. Does anyone have any experience with that? Cost for build out, managem...

They provide a nice centralized marketplace for syndications, which could otherwise be tougher to find.Now that I know this exists, and due to the fact I’m accredited (so I can invest in all kinds of fun stuff more directly than ownership of a public equity) I am wondering if there are other reputable platforms that facilitate direct investment in other alternative asset classes.

If you've come across a service like this or have any alternate suggestions please reach out.    

What other reliable alternatives do you suggest, other than what @Anthony Gayden mentioned (LTE hotspot)?  

There’s a lot of factors when it comes to construction but pre fab is an alternative to conventional framing.
