How to Fund Commercial Purchase and Renovation?

[Jacob Simpson]

My partner and I are evaluating a 2 story commercial space that is zoned Mixed Use. We are considering having Office Space/Retail on the 1st floor and then Apartments on the 2nd floor. What are some options that you have used successfully to fund the purchase and renovation for such a project? We believe the reno costs will be about 50% of what we are able to purchase the property for.
