Indirect way to Commercial Loan Credibility
Howdy folks and happy spring!
We (myself and my partner) desire to get into MF without bringing on sponsors by developing a relationship with a commercial lender by creating a commercially financed property.
What's your thoughts on this strategy, specifically:
- buy a quad with cash
- then remodel the quad (has to be the right property of course for zoning etc) into a 5 unit IE four 2 bedrooms into three 2 bedrooms and two studios.
- I have the construction capability via sweet equity so that's not a concern.
What's your opinion on putting in this effort to create credibility for future commercial financing on a larger 10 unit MF.
Thanks,
MRod
