I have two buildings under contract, that host 25% vacancy, and a traditional commercial bank will not finance them.

Any advice about selling unique properties that do not fit into traditional market boxes?

Traditional Financing and a lot of cash.

It's a tough lesson but alternatives would be hard money or private money for two years until you get two years of tax returns filed where you've actually proven you can make more via commission and then get traditional financing. 

Investors have figured out that traditional lifestyles are fraught with scams and falsehoods.

Traditional lenders will not work with you and if they find out about the seller giving you money back then you are most likley in default of your loan.

This is merely indicative of where in the cycle we are and has nothing to do with the platform. 

I've got a growing following on all platforms I can get on, and I'm getting out to public meetups, events, etc. as often as I can.

So I look through that email every morning in case something pops up I can't pass on, but 99% of the time it is all garbage or too expensive, so that email gets deleted.General email: I used to have a non-traditional job, so I was not at a computer/desk all day. 

@Paul Wachtler thank you for the response, it is very similar to the BRRRR method. basically I'm also trying to find a way to do this without using a hard money lender or come out of pocket for 20 something % for a traditional loan.
