How have you been able assist a client in getting non-traditional financing? 

I own three rentals (and a 4th closing) this Friday and I can tell you my cash flows are great, and I have found a way to hedge my risk.No, its not traditional buy and hold, but the essence of it is most definitely the same.  

I am trying to figure out whether I should go the traditional conventional loan route or not.

I'm not aware of the nuances in scattered site allowances/restrictions, especially for non-traditional lenders.

I will be making these purchases through my Solo 401k so the usual tax benefits don't apply and my up front cash requirements will be higher than a traditional, non-qualified purchase.I live in the Raleigh, NC area and have spent the past two months analyzing more deals than I can remember.  

I am in the market for potential rentals in my area, Greenville sc.So far in my experience, whole sellers are looking for all cash buyers so my question is:If the numbers make sense, get hard money, perform rehab, get traditional financing, rent?

Instead, acknowledge that it sounds like he's looking to get top dollar for his home through a traditional sale.

But  if the deal is right it may allow you to get into something that you aren't able to make work with traditional financing.All the best!

The tenants are part of a fraternity and so the tradition of renting the house has become a year-to-year thing.

All,I'm looking for a little assistance on several questions related to financing.I am approaching the limit of 10 financed properties (under traditional loan programs), and looking for recommendations on how to finance #11.Consolidation of the portfolio and paying off a mortgage is my last resort, as these are short-term solutions to a larger roadblock.
