Talk to a securities attorney.

@Andy Mirza frankly I did not trust the party that put me on title so I secured an attorney to navigate the issue and act in my best interest.

Hi Tom,So in your case you are not house hacking to secure the favorable financing that you could get by living in one of the  units and therefore obtaining a purchase money loan for your primary residence since your are buying all-cash.

As @Maxwell Manatt points out- does everyone know their role and what is expected from them - because unperformed duties do not raise someone to the level of a sponsor/issuer and may create the presumption that the specific person is indeed an investor who actually purchased a security. 

This can help set you apart from many other players in your market. 

@Tyler HoganUnfortunately, the rules do not allow for the use of solo 401k owned real estate as security for a personal loan.

Would it be intelligent of me to secure a title company of my own choosing?

The flip side is the more secure income.

If so, it seems like they are not marketing to the vast majority of potential buyers (because even these big players have <20% market share in any given market).

What are some of the ways you guys have secured private money loans, and how has it worked for you?
