I sell insurance and am commission based so I would like some sort of passive income.

Hi, I am selling a property and willing to hold mortgage.

That may work in your benefit if/when you decide to sell in the future. 

Early in 2024, Blackstone was also able to sell the Arizona Biltmore to a UK-based fund for over $1 million/key.These deals signify that, for motivated buyers, financing costs are not as important a consideration as the location or a strategic rationale to own a property in a preferred market.Borrowers of two high-profile portfolios decided to stop supporting their loans, so industry participants are assessing the likelihood of these properties trading.

Yeah, my only STR's are/have been former primary residences that are in my portfolio because I didn't want to sell them, and because I've had so much demand on them they end up being MTR's (one STR guest stayed for 2 years lol, paying STR rates).

@Maryam Mostafa chasing a 12% Cap will require:1) High risk properties Class C or D2) Getting lucky and getting the property under market value3) Doing a LOT of hard work to find an owner willing to sell under market value4) Doing the above to find and reposition a poorly managed propertyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.When investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Depends who your takeouts are that you sell to .

Have you encountered instances where it looks like occupants are unwilling to vacate a property for sale, but attorney-in-fact who is selling property is assuring that the property will be vacant under request at any time?

Can I buy land with an SDIRA, hold it for a period (2yrs for example) and then sell it to a company that I own?

You can buy any property from the owner... if they are willing to sell.
