Zillow estimate rent: $1,100, recent nearly identical comp sold at $135,000.  

@Chris TroutnerJust to clarify, the CFPB Laws and Regulations book, RESPA chapter says:Exemptions–12CFR1024.5(b)The following transactions are exempt from coverage:A loan primarily for business, commercial or agricultural purposes (definition identical to Regulation Z, 12CFR1026.3(a)(1))Essentially if your loan is for business purposes, it's exempt from RESPA and not considered a "covered loan" and solidifies your private lender from having to be licensed.

It could also be use to hide the identity of the real buyer.
