Hey Allen, When you approach the finance people, are you being specific in your request?

I am not sure of the legality associated with this and the issues of going from 4 units(residential) to 5 units (commercial) even if one unit will only be owner occupied.

A lot of the success stories and content we’ve seen in the past came from a very different rate environment, so I’m definitely factoring that into my approach.For now, I’m planning to focus on the Jackson County/MO area, specifically around Lee’s Summit where I have some local support from family.

Quote from @Christian Styles: Potentially able to help you find someone but I would need to know specifically where the property is in order to know who to recommend.  

Networking, local meetups, door knocking, mailers, wholesalers, online forums specific to your area of interest.  

Looks like the founders are trying to raise funds for their legal fees. http://www.gofundme.com/nwaclubLegit or not, I've deciding to pass on it. 

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

.- Also, you need a legal way to take back the deed if buyer defaults!

I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.

Do you have something that speaks to the specific cleaning necessary at the duration of the lease?
