I guess the bottom line is I'm placing my bets that they will continue to grow to the point where their revenue will exceed their operating costs.From what I'm seeing Rich Uncles, Realty Mogul and Fundrise only offer REITs to non-accredited investors.

Or is my best bet to install an individual unit for each floor? 

local banks are your best bet for LOC on rental property.  

Your best bet is to go downtown take a number and meet with a planner, plug your meter for MAX hours and take a good book!

The triplex max loan amount before it becomes a jumbo loan is $984,525 dependent on your county.Most lenders also have a stipulation of at least 20% - 25% down on conventional loans on multi family properties.For a low down payment your best bet is going FHA and keeping the loan under $984,525 as long as you intend to owner occupy.

We thought that shifting the property to my name and then go for a secured loan will be our best bet. 

I'll let a contractor weigh in but I'll bet that old vinyl will act as a vapor barrier for your new floor.

Hard money lenders tend to not like those deals as risk is higher versus 50 or 60% occupied with some cash flow to the stabilize closer to full occupancy over time. 

(You see,average value of riverside SFHs is currently 150-200k)So I thought,"yea..too good to be true...I bet something is wrong with it."
