If you set up a "checkbook LLC" for your SDIRA, then I believe (check first with your custodian and/or attorney) that you would be able to invest directly as the manager of your LLC (using the LLC's account), without going through your custodian.On the other hand, that ability to quickly invest can be a double edged sword, since I think the delay can be a good thing (it forces me to think more carefully about the syndication and take the time to make sure it's a good investment for my SDIRA).

The LLC also gives you the ability to write off expenses associated with the property that you could not do as a personally owned house.My 2 cents would be to leave it the way it is and not transfer it.  

I’m guessing due to the bank having the ability to freeze and see the facts, it wasn’t long. that certainly could have been a lot uglier without swift action!

We had a unique ability to rescue these most folks simply did not have the same abilities.

It goes deeper than that.NYC Liberal policies, including strong tenant protections, increases the risk of failure so much that the risk far outweighs the rewards.Financial ruin is just around the corner for the small Mom and Pop Property Investor that it doesn't make sense for them.The Tenants will have free Attorneys that are bent on delaying eviction cases so long that it stretches into years while Mom and Pop suffer from lack of rental income and still have to pay all the bills and do the management.Additionally, the increase in homeless living rough in the streets due to Sanctuary laws causing a lack of shelter beds, then evicting shelter residents after 30 days creating more homelessness, policies that tie up the Police's ability to arrest perpetrators, etc. only causes Mom and Pop to sell out at large discounts to larger Landlords who are capable to use Economies of Scale to eek out a profit.These larger Landlords will eventually turn a much higher profit as the pendulum will eventually swing towards the middle when the NYC Voting population eventually realizes that it's not a conspiracy of the Rich that's causing the Wealth Gap to increase.It's the same liberal laws that encourage people to become lifelong tenants, small Entrepreneurs (including Property Owners and small Mom and Pop Businesses) to be destroyed, and Rents to rise astronomically as housing becomes scarer even when the population declines by as much as 7% in the last several years. 

Due to his lack of communication ability he has to work through third parties such as myself to obtain this critically needed information.

I strongly despise when costs of mentorship start to impact the mentee's already limited ability to put a down payment on a property.

If you have questions about the ability to obtain loans, you'll want to make sure whomever you partner is very "lendable" with banks.

From what I've heard, peer-to-peer lending platorms can offer decent returns and the ability to withdraw funds relatively quickly if needed.Personally, I've found that investing in short-term real estate projects can be a sweet spot.

If you have a 12-month history of the property's performance, you may be able to get some wiggle room with more local banks for it.One thing that may impact the lender's ability to lend could be the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), but as long as the property cash flows well then that shouldn't be an issue.
