They should be a neutral platform or tool, yet they seem to inject themselves into property rights a little too much for my tastes.

@Steve Joseph see if you can put the property on the padsplit.com platform.

Many traditional banks have a cutoff at 1.2

So the next time I made a deal I made it a point to show I close faster than a traditional bank,and I wasnt to far from their asking price not even 24 hrs my offer got accepted. 

Neither platform will transfer bookings, you will have to do it manually with the cooperation of the seller.  

For example in my investments in SF - I identify properties that I can do layout changes on - I’ve taken a studio (with a detached kitchen) and converted it to a junior 1br (with open kitchen) That bumps my rent by much more than just doing traditional rehab.

In both cases (private or BRRRR-friendly lenders) the expectation would be that you use the loan to rehab the place and refinance into a more traditional home loan to pay back the loans, usually within 12-18 months.  

If you paid cash for the home then you can easily procure a Line Of Credit from a traditional bank or from a hard money lender.

Hi Matt- trying to get the zoning switched has traditionally been quite difficult.

There are several opportunities to buy without a traditional loan.
