This provides you with a safety net for any unexpected expenses during the rehab process while also potentially allowing you to secure higher leverage on the purchase price.

It's a riskier loan given you do not carry a social security, no US credit & no experience.Due to increased risk comes mitigation (Lower LTV & Higher Rates)

Simultaneously, you're managing applicants and tenants, who are often working within tight timelines to secure or renew leases.

If you're already in a secure financial position, leveraging your equity could be a smart strategy.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

IN these cases they took title sub to from the sellers .. ( but in the case your describing its the same thing you have a senior note as most investors will want security) they then sold on contract to buyers with small down payments and credit challenged or income challenged and they did about 30 of these in a year or so.. worked hard at it..

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

IE securing them paying tax's insurance etc etc. 

Another key benefit is diversification; an SDIRA allows you to include real estate in your portfolio, reducing risk by spreading your investments across different asset types, which isn’t possible with a standard IRA.Moreover, assets in an SDIRA often enjoy protection from creditors, adding a layer of security to your investments.

The loan has a MUCH higher risk for the lender because it isn't secured by real estate.
