For example on your $400K sale it might look like: 20% down of $80,000, 65% LTV 1st of $260,000, and a 15% 2nd of $60,000.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

Properties with fewer than five units are classified as residential, making the loans ineligible for sale on the secondary market through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

People should stop applying sale of goods theories to it.    

Would like confirmation on that though.For Solara, there seems to be no restrictions but a lot of houses for sale. 

As David indicated, look for properties before you close on the sale of your relinquished property. 

Say they sold the properties over 3 year period and could not sell the rentals together as a portfolio.Could they put the money from each sale into a DST then use the total to buy a expensive rental property?

The market remains a seller's market, characterized by higher prices and faster home sales.

However, the depreciation claimed while the property was a rental must be accounted for upon the future sale of the personal residence, which could increase your capital gains tax liability.The adjusted basis of the property (original cost minus depreciation) will be used to calculate gains or losses at the time of sale.

I found this deal listed for sale on LoopNet.
