How many mortgage lenders have you spoken with to get qualified and discuss allowable down payment options?

I may not even go the partnership route but I am interested in just learning about all the options I have. 

One option is to buy the home and pay them out in installments rather than taking out a bank loan right away.

Would love to know if any other mortgage brokers are aware of other options? 

Does Baseline give you the option to track expenses without attaching it to a particular property?

They don't allow auto payments or automatically add late fees, and tenants would have the option to pull their payment back, which is not ideal.

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

This way the lender is covered and only lending on the value that is legally zoned and compliant (in case the city took action against the non-conforming unit).

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

I think a better option is to get a job in property management.
