There's just so much fundamentally important info about REI that most data don't convey (Zillow discovered this the hard way, when they tried and failed to invest in real estate based largely on data inputs, rather than boots-on-the-ground knowledge).Real estate is literally a physical item, with physical functions, governed by physical realities, and because of that, it can only be fully understood through physical means (seeing properties with your own eyes, experiencing neighborhoods in person, meeting potential tenants face-to-face...or at least on Zoom).

That's what I was told about trying to rent out room by room or the downstairs unit (if I were to put in a kitchenette it would function as a studio apartment) with the house being considered a multi-unit.

I've been pursuing an SBA as a combination of all of the companies but haven't had luck yet - so I was thinking of pursuing a purely real-estate loan for the company that owns the property instead. 

Is it the crowdfunding platform, the property owner, the sponsor, a remote entity or some combination?   

If the existing layout is not conducive to the plans (for instance, if you have to remove a load-bearing wall and engineer new structural support, or if it's not possible to add a br or ba without messing up the flow and functionality of the house), then it might not be feasible and could end up costing far more than it produces...Also, if this is your first property, I'd suggest against a flip.

A property's tax bill would increase as a function of roughly two things multiplied together:1) How much that property's value has increased relative to other properties in the same jurisdiction.2) The overall increase in the jurisdiction's budget from year to year.If your value is going up in dollar value but percentage-wise it's roughly the same percentage as everyone else's property the main relevant factor is #2.

When I’ve tried to buy property with two houses on one parcel previously, the bank required that one not be functional to consider doing the loan (so, if it needs a huge rehab, no toilet, etc).

I have just purchased a laptop recently because I did not have a functioning one previously.

For me I think it's less a function of time and more a matter of how much interest is coming in through other channels.
