Real estate investors have a variety of financing options available to them, depending on their financial situation, investment strategy, and the type of property they're interested in.

We have a person on board with a degree in design, so we usually tweak the floor plans for sight lines and function.

BP is a great place to start however I feel in person gets you further.

I was wondering what everyone's experience with establishing a legal entity for REI has been like, and when do you recommend a person to do so?

@Yadira ValeraIf you transfer property but mortgage stays in your name it still shows on creditIf loan is in the LLC, you may have to personally guarantee it so you would be required to list it as a debt on any new applicationsJust a fyi

I have not done too many deals in your market, and I anticipate things are nuanced depending on the property type and condition and based on the personality of the owner....BUT it is common and customary in my world, which is usually retail/med office, for tenants to have at least some time of free rent during the buildout.We usually structure things as follows, and you can change the number of days around but this is traditionally what we at least shoot for when we have a tenant we are repping.- Lease commencement date is to be the 6/1/24 or when the landlord's work is complete. and we traditionally have penalties in place if the LL's work takes too long and pushes us past our initial timeline.- then we typically have "rent commencement" or when you start paying rent, to be the earlier of either 180 days following lease commencement or when you are open for business.
