@John Powers I have a few friends who work for large real estate private equity funds as data scientists - essentially doing what you’re describing.

Double check with the original lender because some are allowing investors to assume the loan without having it be a primary residence. 

When commercial lenders are evaluating a first-time CRE investor, they like when the sponsor is within driving distance of their first investment, so pat-on-the-back for staying local on deal one, it makes it a more prudent transaction for all involved. 

Location Location Location is everything everything everything Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It appears quickbooks and a separate loan manager application or rent manager have the “lender” feature I am looking for.

@Alberto Cioni Typically, the broker commissions within a DST investment are 4-6%, and the rest of the fees are used by the sponsor to structure the offering, marketing fees, lender fees, reserves (any remaining returned at disposition), etc.

Some lenders will offer you 100% financing but it will be expensive money to borrow. 

My problem is a lack of deal flow.I reached out to private lenders in my community.

I would start speaking with lenders about your plan to get insights on how the logistics would work. 

Maybe some specialty programs exist for prefab homes or a custom ADU builder might have his own lender partner they could refer you to... but unless you yourself are an experienced home builder with a track record in ground-up construction, you're basically looking at a hard money or a HELOC.
