If the the seller isn't readily providing documentation, it's not because the dog ate it, but because the rents are low or non-existent and because the expenses are high.All that being said, if you have the stomach for low income rentals (I don't anymore), you may be able to get yourself some seller financed deals, possibly with very little money down.

Most of my financing experience has been traditional non-owner occupied 30yr fixed loans, so I haven't done a true commercial real estate loan before.Overall deal strategy in relation to finance suggestions?

Jon Klaus,I'd rather make the dollar and pay the tax than lower my returns as a percentage; however, there are various strategies that can be used.Depreciation and cost segregation are great; however, you might want to consider the advantages of a non-profit to fund a pension for you, othe corporations, family partnerships, etc.

Hey guys,I just did one about 3 months ago for Non payment.

But for me to hold the place, I want a non-refundable "hold deposit".

I read that 70% of DS contracts are signed by the customer and returned within 48 hours (no mention of the non DS avg).

So from my experience you can purchase property and title it in the name of an entity and fund it with (in your case) an SDIRA as long as you (or immediate family etc) do not own the property before hand.Be careful in your closing documents (HUD) that you do not show any form of management fee/financial consideration to yourself or non arms length entity etc.

I agree with Jon - the original is the most fun to read because of all his non-PC and at times illegal discriminatory suggestions.

That's because they DO have the mindset, skills, motivation, intelligence and/or money to be successful.So, that means there's about 30% of 30% of people out there (about 10% using my non-scientific estimates) who could be successful, but require a mentor.
