I purchased a fix and flip that got complicated when we found one of the basement walls was bowing in.

Where the SBA 7A can be used for all parts of the purchase and is generally Prime+ 2%, 10 years, the 504 (bricks & mortar only) is generally Prime -2%, 25 years. 

Are you purchasing as investment? 

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

When the home was purchased, it was conventional loan and the basement had tenants.

Purchase price: $65,000 Hybrid Fix & Flip, bought, made minor repairs and clean out.

I am a rookie investor hoping to purchase my first property within the next 90 days.Kwanza Hi Kwanza,The first thing you'll need to decide is whether or not you want checkbook control of your self directed IRA. 

Purchase price: $425,000 Cash invested: $5,000 Helped my past client out of a difficult situation.

Any amount you purchase less than you sell, or any amount of cash you take out is considered to be profit. 

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :)
