They purchased it for $3m, put $750k into it, we expect it to appraise for $5m, and are seeking loan proceeds of $3m.Here are three commercial mortgages that might be a good fit (click to enlarge, if necessary):Not listed there, but from left to right: Points are 1.25, 1.5, and 1.Prepayment penalties are 5 years, no, and no.The way to read "3/25, 15 years maturity" is that the rate is fixed for 3 years then adjusts, it has a 25 year amortization, and a balloon payment at the 15 year mark. 

The NC return is correct as is in my opinion.Remember that states often piggyback off Federal amounts, often AGI or taxable income (then make upward or downward adjustments for things like 179 or depletion).Since the passive loss did not enter the taxable income calculation at the Federal level, it won't flow to the state return when NC piggybacks.
