US, UK, Australia and other parts of the world are more for "traditional" investing in real estate for capital gain.

Quote from @Karen Smith: With more investors turning to private money lenders for faster funding, what benefits have you seen from using private financing versus traditional bank loans? 

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos. 

I am trying to calculate my returns over a 10-year period using the rent-by-room strategy, which results in significantly more cash flow than traditional rentals.

I bought it because it was supposed to be easier to keep up with than traditional, but I've had to rebalance the ph myself several times.  

Most traditional property managers don’t handle this setup due to challenges like managing tenant disputes, coordinating overlapping move-ins/outs, and the risk of Fair Housing violations when selecting tenants.

It was 20% down  Like I mentioned on my comment above, it is possible to still finance this property with a non-traditional lender, especially when you are putting 20% down.

Traditional 30 year fixed mortgage How did you add value to the deal?

However, I am unfamiliar with any lenders having traditional mortgage options for anything with a VIN number such as a trailer.

People still think it's a junky casino town which is just not the case anymore.
