Putting 1.6 million into a 4 plex seems odd to me, but I imagine that in your market, that is the biggest multi family you could get with that amount of money.Anyway good luck.

We really have saved a lot doing things ourselves, and it’s hard to imagine paying someone to fix little things we could do.

This is a result from a conversation he has only imagined.  

For example, imagine that you need $100k to purchase a franchise.

You can buy one for around $700 or rent one from your local tool rental place.I have treated pet smells like you can never imagine and these two things always get it out.

Can you imagine offering a landlord a free rehab!

I can only imagine the headache they get when something needs to be done in the community.

I would imagine that a container house will very similar.

There is a Mortgage Recording Tax of around 2.175%So imagine you buy a property worth $2 Million, put down 20% or $400k.Then you create another lien, say $500k.That will cost you $500k x 2.175% = $10,875.Further, if you really want to make this a valid loan, you would probably create a LLC, fund it the $500k, have it establish the new lien on the property, let it get paid the Interest.Now you will have to pay tax on the Interest and filing fees for the LLC and have a CPA do your Tax Returns.That might be worth it to someone, but to me, it's a little over kill when you can just get an umbrella policy for less than $300 per year that will cover you an additional $2 Million.

After all the pain and suffering I imagine your hands are tied as to future liquidity events as well?
