Quote from @Scott Tennell: For real estate investors who have worked with private money lenders, what strategies have you found most effective in structuring deals to ensure both parties are protected and the funding process runs smoothly? 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

The structure of the business is changing behind the scenes, but the ownership of the accounts by the business remains the same.IE if the guy who created the "Vacasa" account on Airbnb/VRBO leaves Vacasa, they don't have to start over with a new account just because the guy that initially created the accounts left.

With your $1,100 rent and the potential for an improved loan structure, it's worth reaching out to DSCR lenders who are flexible on reserves and leverage.Key Points:Highlight your strong FICO score and existing equity.If your DSCR ratio falls short, some lenders allow exceptions for high-FICO borrowers.

Sub2 is a risky strategy for a long term buy and hold as the longer the deal structure stays in place, the higher the chance that issues will arise (like issues with the loan servicer, insurance, seller filing for bankruptcy, seller dying, seller realizing their DTI ratio and ability to buy their next property is negatively effected and becoming upset about it like in your case, due on sale clause being called, etc.).

It’s a good idea to work with a qualified intermediary and a tax advisor to ensure everything is structured properly and you’re clear on any tax implications.
