Seller financing is an option or locating a landlord who's exiting the program is another option just to name a few.  

Pick which area of CRE you want to go into....so many people seem to specialize these days...either buyer side/seller side/landlord rep or tenant rep.   

If I take over the loan, does it mean the seller can't borrow any money anymore if he wants to buy a house in the future, since the loan is still under his name?

Instead you should go back to your IRA custodian and demand they fix their mistake, issue corrected form 1099R leaving box 2a blank and box 2b checked.

We can't keep up with the demand in a tertiary market of Ohio.

Longer term, we could add additional cabins to the property (as stated above) since the current owners are sending overnight business to hotels in the area that are 15+ mins away.Our situation:We have about ~45% equity in my home (appraised at $775K about 6 months ago; we made some improvements but to be conservative, let's say this is still a good estimate), I can cash in my 401K, and have RSUs from my company that I can use for the majority of the cash I need to have "skin in the game" but it's short the 20% I will need for an SBA 540 for the real estate + 5% for the SBA 7a (this 5% for the DP is possible if the sellers can finance some of the business).

Here are some considerations for investing in a duplex in the Dallas area and potential alternatives:Investing in a Duplex:If you rent out one property, you can possibly create positive cash flow by partially offsetting your living expenditures.If you're an investor with limited funds, duplexes could be a more accessible alternative because they may have lower entry expenses than bigger multifamily properties.Perform in-depth market research in the Dallas region to pinpoint communities that have high demand for rentals and good prospect for real estate growth.Take a look at owner-occupant-friendly financing choices including FHA loans, which frequently have less down payments.Make sure you have a well-defined escape plan.

I disagree with your version of events but your feedback and experience with us is relevant.This was beyond our 30 day full guarantee and satisfaction policy when we were informed by you of your demand for something outside the contract well after that period.

Hi @Jennifer Wood      Firstly, you need to ask them if they are direct to seller.

Rent rolls aren’t always relinquished by the seller, some of them don’t have them even prepared.
