Subject: Can’t Qualify for Traditional Financing – Looking for Advice or Partnership IdeasHey everyone, I’m Emily in the DFW area.

People go get 4 year degrees in hotel/hospitality management.There are several folks on here that have invested in very small places like 8 units or so and I could see that working more like a STR vs a traditional hotel. 

It works great if you're planning to BRRRR or refinance once the value is forced.That said, if you're looking for long term financing with a fixed rate and want to lock in terms upfront, a traditional mortgage with 20% down could make sense too — especially if you're not planning to pull out the equity again soon.I’m an investor & mortgage broker in Florida and help investors structure creative financing options all the time.

Self-Directed IRAs are specifically designed to allow you to invest in a much wider range of non-traditional assets, including but not limited to Real Estate, private equity, and even precious metals.Alternatively, if you prefer more traditional investment options but want more options than your previous employer's plan offered, you can also roll over your 401K money into a different more traditional custodian.

You know have found a project where the cost is only 60% of ARV, not the traditional 75%. 

A private money lender is an individual or organization that provides loans outside of the traditional banking system.

IF it's worth $410k then ask him if he would sell for what he owes because he's not walking away with much if anything after commissions, closing costs, and concessions on a traditional sale.If he insists he needs some money to feel like it's not a total loss then I wouldn't go higher than $5k upfront.

.), is this a traditional practice or is that the move of a price gouger?

Over the past year, I’ve shifted focus from traditional multifamily toward undervalued rural land and light-touch conversions—and the returns are surprising even the skeptics.✅ Entry under $20K✅ No tenants, no toilets✅ Strong passive income potential (leases, modular resale, short-term builds)✅ Flexible exit strategies✅ Easier to secure site control (master lease, seller financing, etc.)One of our current projects is a historic mill rehab being converted into 36 units of independent living, stabilized NOI projected around $500K with a cap rate of 5.75%.

I've traditionally done DSCR loans where the minimum loans have to be at least $100K.
