With a 20% down loan, you are looking at a 750k property.  

Also I would be curious to know if when franchising through and established brand if a business loan would be more suitable than a CRE loan.

Personally prefer SFR..Not sure about DFW but do have a realtor reference for you..be sure to budget for furniture and furnishings if not sold turn-key..a seller concession is a great way to preserve capital for MTR or STR's..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for an investor friendly lender..he's excellent at helping structure loan programs for investments.

You would need to put the home in oyur name which could have tax consequences then you are getting a loan to buy an asset which most likely will not cash flow.

It’s a lot easier to keep your full-time job as security when first starting out, and for many people it is the only way to begin what they hope is an exciting and successful new career.The truth is that many agents began as part-timers, and some have remained that way for many years.

I had trouble finding a bank that would do two dwellings and ended up with a loan requiring 25% down and a few upfront points with 7.5-8% interest rate depending on lock in day.

I can connect you with one of my Loan Officers and we could look into this more deeply for you. 

When we do the construction loan, we'll take the cost you paid for your lot, your soft costs (plans, permits, property prep, etc) and add it to the build costs (keep in mind, we'll make sure those amounts are fluffed and that they make sense).
