@Jay Hinrichs I totally agree for business travel, you can't beat the consistency of a good hotel chain.

On the plus side, you see more deals by default and you  also learn the transaction process first hand.

@Michael A PiersonThe first thing is always to learn about how to use a SDIRA, the rules and regulations, and prohibited transactions.

Normally, you get a Title Report for $60 to $100 and if the transaction goes through you convert it to Title Insurance.

It makes chain of title messy for title insurance.

If the seller is an owner occupant, he may have an LTV much higher than any investor can obtainThe main benefits to a seller is that the transaction is quicker than a buyer obtaining new financing, and that he may get a higher price because the buyer does not have fees associated with obtaining a new loan and the buyer may pay more for greater leverage or pay more if he can’t qualify for a loanThe downside to both is primarily that the buyers equity can be wiped out if the note holder accelerates the note, further the seller now has liability on a note secured by a property he does not own.
