I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

@Matthew Posteraro I'm a big fan of starting with the 5% options. 

Reach out if you would like to compare options or revenue potential for different homes and communities. 

Option 2: Make minor upgrades to the rental property to increase the rent (the current lease is almost ending) and hold onto it.

Quote from @Jimmy Chao: I am weighing some options to help my younger brother buying his first primary with a fixer.

Two years ago, this approach would not have been an option.2.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

But it would be nice to have an option to uncheck that box this time around since they're already in place.

We overthink real estate...Just find a place that people with options want to live. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option.
