What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I am very familiar with this type of property with my background and interests in architecture, plumbing and mechanical, banking and finance as well as living in the penthouse condo in downtown Sioux Falls that was a total gut rehab of a 112 year old concrete grain elevator of which I was part of the project.

Word of mouth, contacted owner directly and used their real estate agent to put the deal together.

Traditional bank financing with a 10yr balloon mortgage with a 20 year term
