The process is pretty simple, but it does involve extra steps compared to a traditional rental.

I have also helped a variety of both local and OOS investors buy in the metro using owner occupant and traditional investor financing.

Rates are typically higher than a traditional cash out refinance, however at least you are not getting the full loan amount + you have the flexibility to draw/tap in the money whenever needed.

Brick v.s siding and covered v.s no converted parking also make a large difference and are items that have to be adjusted for. 

So if you are buying a property the traditional way, using an agent, you won't usually get answers when it comes to the condition.

It is an item of MAKING MONEY and NOT of producing, transporting or bring to market any goods or services at all.

traditional Lessons learned?

I always pay off my highest interest rate items first, especially if its debt.

You can make SFR work but extremely tough in traditional sense.

I didn't know if it was easy to close a SDIRA and roll it back over to a traditional or not if my investment pipeline runs dry.Thanks
