I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

Quote from @Mark King Sanders: I am now beginning my real estate investment journey.

Also, it can avoid filing an amendment.Another great point on eligibility- SEP IRAs require net self-employment income from activities like 1099 contract work, real estate sales, wholesaling, or other self-employment business income.Passive income as you have highlighted, does not qualify. 

An example of this would be mixing your personal money and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

If they don't, then you file a claim and hope the insurance company squeezes the money from the tenant.Get rid of this tenant.

Hey,Is anyone out there still investing in commercial real estate? 

For me I think it depends on how much money you have invested into the home and for how long?  

This risk is amplified the less money you have attached to the deal.

Structuring Financing for Volume-Based InvestingTraditional financing methods like hard money loans work well for single properties but can be less efficient when you're scaling up.

.- at year 7 if value appreciated a lot, can i do a HELOC on it and use that HELOC to pay off the balloon - probably not due to lien being secondary etc on helocYes on the HELOC, but it would probably be easier just to refi and pay off the seller, and cash out more money too.Hope that helps and good luck!
