@Chris Heppner Traditional banking institutions will do SBA Loans.

Some institutional investors / funds are building entire for rent communities due to lack of supply.

Hi @Daniel Torres, regarding syndications, if you are an accredited investor, you can buy into institutional grade $50-125M projects with as little as $100,000 and diversify.

In our case , after my brother and I filling out a personal financial statement and providing our business plan in person with the VP of this institution.

Account Closed - Thanks I have a primary institution I have been using in TX but would like to diversify options, especially since I have so much tied up with them already... 

I really don't like to be the bearer of bad news but if you get 75% loan to value that would be considered very lucky in my humble opinion. however, if you refinance into a conventional loan without the cash-out component, you might be offered 80% loan to value by certain financial institutions, depending on a whole slew of other things like your credit score.

To show a seller or agent that you have access to financing for a commercial property, you just need to provide a letter of intent/proof of funds from your lender or financial institution.

Auction.com has properties that are offered by private sellers, institutions, and also advertises county foreclosure auctions.

What makes these very handy in a 1031 situation is that there is almost always institutional debt already placed on the property owned by the DST. 

I like SFH as investments; so does institutional investors.
