@Richard Weinberg1) If you have a Solo 401k that supports a 401k participant loan you can simply take a 401k participant loan up to 50% of the balance not to exceed $50,000.2) The notion of loaning funds from your self-directed IRA to someone else (and vice verse) could easily be challenged as a step transaction where the step of loaning to someone else would be ignored and the transaction would be analyzed as a loan from your IRA to yourself which is prohibited.

I'm really struggling with how to determine what is the BEST FORMULA to determine/analyze a positive cash flow property when purchased price is higher, particularly bc I would easily need to put down 100k, not the 10-20k that some people need for low end markets!  

You might want to give a little more info and do as others say and try to make some in-person relationships at meetups to see where there would be a win-win relationship.

It could easily be 5% of the homes value to close the loan.

In my opinion, overhead map, the split could easily be 20/80, residential/commercial, especially if the expansion goes through.Comparables of just single family houses in the area are selling for the $400,000 range.

@Jonathan R McLaughlin I was thinking that its best to get rid of these tenants but given where we are in the COVID cycle and where rents are... not sure that I will be able to rerent the unit easily.

It's a no win situation with the way things are right now.  

Upper Fells (south of Hopkins Medical) is up and coming, although, you could just as easily argue it already came lol.

Next month I’m going to enter everyone who pays on time into a drawing to win $10 worth of quarters for laundry.
