Typically its a combination of sqf and Comparable sales.

This has been a pretty useful combination and has met most of the needs I've had. 

Personally I do not rely on appreciation but rather seek a combination of appreciation and cash flow.

The units also bring in a combined rent of $2,840/month.

Maybe commercial lenders, but they are going to want to see cash-flow from the asset with a combination of liquidity from the borrower.Rich family members also help.Maybe partnering with a high net worth buddy?

The combined rent is $900 and both tenants are in place until the end of the year. 

Do think there are some really nice options in North East and South East Austin - that combine affordability and tons of upside (and will be 15 minutes from the new Tesla Gigafactory).Full disclosure - I don't know a ton about the Denver market - so take all this with a grain of salt when comparing. 

If you don't have enough Solo 401k funds to purchase the property as an all-cash deal, you can combine your Solo 401k funds with non-recourse debt to purchase the investment property.

The reno should increase the value and allow you to take a mortgage/heloc on the house, pulling some of the money you put in back out to reinvest in another property as your tenants pay down your mortgage/heloc that you just took out on the house (pretty much a BRRRR).This may kind of combine those 3 options, sort of.Hope this helps!

Your guests could open it with a combination to access the opener and any keys they need.
