I do not necessarily want to liquidate stocks due to the capital gain implications. 

I know typical rates are 8-10, sometimes I've seen 12%. 

.- does anyone have experience with this type of property (rental that was then flipped and sold in the 18-month-ish time period)- How do we avoid capitol gains? 

As for dealing with trusts that's a bit more complicated, as there are typically more people involved and that information is not as accessible. 

Besides borrowing money from 401k, you can open a line of credit on you Primary house and lenders can typically lend up to 90% CLTV or 70 investment properties.

Also, would love to talk with any of you separately to gain more insight on the area as well as my thoughts. 

This person would essentially be instrumental in putting the entire deal together.Given the significant role this individual would play, I'm curious about how their involvement is typically reflected in the closing documents, if at all.

You typically need 20% for the down payment and there are some credit score requirements as well. 

@Andrew Postell, I pulled it off the GRM site, which may not have updated ratios: "DSCR loans require borrowers to meet a minimum DSCR threshold, typically around 1.25...." https://www.rate.com/resources/what-are-non-qm-loansI spoke with a loan officer who said it may be lower now to reflect the market, so you may be right, but I am awaiting the approval and don't have the final ratio. 

MFH helps reduce vacancy expense, and you'll typically have a better ROI.
