Banks like to know they'll be paid back, and having a source of income makes them more willing to lend you money.Have you ever thought of a live-in flip?

If so, do you think buy and hold investing would be more or less cumbersome than using the SDIRA for other RE activity, (flipping, lending, etc), which seem to have their own concerns.....Unrelated Business Income Tax, self-employment tax.I'd appreciate any feedback on your recommendations as to how to best utilize these IRA funds within REI. 

Ironically tenants know market rent better than landlordsLook into instituting RUBS if they don't have a program.  

I think Center Street Lending is a sometimes sponsor in Bigger Pockets - they finance the purchase and the rehab and they base much of it on the strength of the investment itself.There's also a book on Biggerpockets.com/store where you can buy Brandon Turner's book 'How to invest with no or low money down'.Your question was a bit too general to answer more clearly than that but I hope it helps.

Some banks will lend to non-US citizens, but you'll have to do some research to find them.

If you have a great deal but no experience you would likely still find someone to lend on it.

So is there is any way to own 8 properties using the conventional lending where I put only 25% down, get todays low rates and can cash out refinance any time(after 6 months of ownership) between my wife and me?

Not having clear title will prevent refinancing with a bank, credit union or institutional financing. 

This would appear to indicate that the institutions are becoming a much larger share of the total bidders. 

My question is: For a beginner like me(21 year old newbie from Columbus), what is the best way to go about contacting people about money lending?
