Hi BP Nation!

Which institution are you using?

A private lender (I wouldn't call yourself a hard money lender as that's typically what people consider a more institutional lender) who has $500K to offer at 8% is far different from someone shopping $50K at 12%.

Check with your lending institutions. 

I find it a bit highly priced psf (370 psf) but reasonable based on tenant profile and ROI. its basically 7.1% ROI of a national dental chain in Southfield MI paying about 25++ psf with escalations and 7.8 years remaining.Since this deal is clearly predicated on tenant strength, one of the stipulations I requested for prior to executing the s&p agreement is to allow for a tenant interview and to review tenant financials to assess likelihood of tenant renewing. 

In mid-December, the National Association of Realtors released a report identifying DFW as one of the 10 U.S. home markets expected to outperform over the next three to five years.

Moving the 401K to a SDIRAThe large financial institutions likely don't have the loan provision you are looking for.

But you've got to vet well.The other key factor is that both are designed to be passive but stable opportunities with experienced operators (either the national corporation tenant or the DST sponsor) managing the property so you don't have to. 

I'm also partnered up on a couple of deals here but I'd like to explore expanding into the US as I read a lot of books & listen to many podcasts about the US market.Over the past few months I have been piecing together small bits of information but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of books, podcasts, blogs etc that offer a lot of information on this type of situation.I have been in contact with a number of banks in the US about acquiring finance but most of them are more geared towards helping foreign nationals purchase one property to live in while they move or work within the US.

You could be too leveraged, for any financial institution.
