Option 2: Private LoanIn this option, a promissory note is written for my partner to loan me the down payment amount (20%/$46K) for a 2-5 year term at a 10% interest rate (details are still up for negotiation - are these terms reasonable for this kind of deal?).

I will consider this and focus on other options to buy Real Estate. 

Probably not.When I have offers due on my listings at 12 noon on a Tuesday, and Im calling all the agents who submitted offers to negotiate those contracts.....and the part time guy who is at his day job doesnt answer...what do you think happens to their offer?

Venting a dryer can be a PITA if you want to put it somewhere else, but draining a washing machine is just as tough so...there ya go.Either way, it is a nice option for those squeezing into a small closet somewhere in their cabin.Yale Appliance is one of the largest appliance retailers in Boston.

I say you don't need to consider security cameras (or even trail cameras)- but you could put fake ones out or if you had wifi on site o(r wanted to go the sim card/monthly route), that's not an expensive option either.

I hadn’t considered that option 

Started putting offers in around late January.

I have an offer out on a duplex but it needs a new roof.

I currently have a CPA (only handles taxes and offers standard tax deductions advice) and a wealth manager at Abacus (handles retirement investments and stocks- IRA, 401K, etc).

There are a couple of ways around due on sale which require training, (not LandTrusts by the way) but I have not seen anyone offer those on Bigger Pockets.
