Am I just dense (a real possibility), or did I miss how to navigate account creation without a website for our business? 

It might make the most sense to just sell your primary residence and use it as 40% to 50% down payment on your future home. 

@Frankie Lotrec if you have an existing loan on the property and you plan to legally convert from a 4 unit to 5 unit , you should check the loan documents because you’d essentially be converting it to a commercial property, since 5+ units is considered commercial and subject to different appraisal approaches and so it would rule out the property being considered for purchasers utilizing residential financing.  

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $135,000 Annual rental to be turned into STR when tenant vacates What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

If you're free Feb 6th, I hope that you might be able to make it to our event: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1224992-brew...Luke Nelsen will be discussing how he went from owning a duplex to owning 2 motels over the course of 4yrs.

Having an experienced GC build their first deal or two of their own is, for reasons that sometimes don't make sense, get push-back.

So I didn't cash in any fund investment to buy notes. 

As far as rate is concerned, you can usually go about two points over the current rate (less closing costs for a seller financed deal so there is no real expense there) You need to make sure the borrower can cover that.

Make sure you do your due diligence on that before you invest.
