If you’re working with a community bank or a traditional lender, these issues may not be as relevant.

Unlike traditional bank loans, private lenders offer quicker approval, fewer requirements, and the ability to customize loan terms to fit the project.

Also, more people seem to be choosing trade schools over traditional colleges.

Your lender will have the exact details.If the current leases don't align with your timeline for moving in, another option is to explore a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan or a traditional investment loan.

I don't have any apartments in the traditional/complex sense either, and I'm sure that turnover is higher in those.  

So, a BUYER that needs owner financing...what if they just used "non-traditional financing"?

Obviously this is California spec building and not the traditional RE stuff I come to this website to read about :)I should not have said same as main house.

Many brokers are open to part-time agents, especially those focusing on investing rather than traditional sales.

I am at 4 now and hoping to average 2 more per year yet ready to quit my traditional job ASAP.  

I see some lenders out there would just pick the "lowest" rate and the client ends up paying more than 1% of the loan amount at their closing costs.Key point is "Lowest" rate does not mean the cheapest rate  I have worked in traditional community banking for over 7 years.
