Alternatively, instead of finding people for specific roles, you may look for a partner that will be able to offer what you're looking for in exchange for you to find and manage a deal.

Alternatively you can do a portfolio or Non-QM loan, these loans are designed to be in the LLC's name but require a personal guarantee.

My alternative is to check out the other SFH's he's auctioning, I'm sure there's several of those that would be worth the investment and fall within in my cash budget, but part of me really wants to jump into multi-family.

I am telling them to avoid that deal like the plague, although I have no idea where to suggest alternative financing.As for her own property, they are willing to refinance her at a slightly lower interest rate, and switch it over from 26 remaining years to 15 with lower monthly payments.  

The issue might either need to be settled or litigated... by attorneys on behalf of the insurer and without OP lifting a finger.My point is that getting others involved when the alternative is doing nothing can't possibly hurt.

They are still living in the house in spite of providing alternative accommodation and potentially further creating mess.

Alternatively, if you're willing to expand your market to 20+ miles outside of Boston but still along the trains, there are many MFs that will meet your requirements such as Brockton and Tauton that is not incredibly far from Boston center but have a nicer price tag attached to them.

Angel Oak is a good alternative.

Alternatively, I'm looking to shift to Vancourver WA area.

did not read it .. but debt instruments in your IRA tend to be a better fit than owning the asset.from a practical standpoint were folks can get in a bind is they don't leave enough reserves in their SIDRA to handle cap ex or tenant trashing of a unit.. and find themselves with not enough money in the SidRA to rectify.Plus the other thing is you wasting your ability to depreciate the asset.. notes don't depreciate.. so there fore notes are generally a better safer fit.. as long as your buying quality notes..
