In the end, it may be the same amount of money or more, but it will just have to be structured differently as you navigate the shifting market.Northwest Valley would be a good option. 

A 1031 exchange into multiple industrial properties, a mix of asset types, or even a REIT investment could spread risk while keeping you exposed to real estate.Hope this helps—sounds like you’re in a strong position with good options either way!

Quick search "MLS Only Broker California" gives you a couple of options.

If that doesn’t work, then on to another option.

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

The credit thing should not be an issue for many DSCR folks like myself. 80% ltv may be an option, but,I have seldom found the tradeoff in cost/rate to be worth it in the last 12 months. 0% origination is possible, but, as others have said compensation is received in one fashion or another (higher rate, processing fee, etc.).
