The mall is being rebranded as a super luxury shopping experience, which won't hurt appreciation of these condos with their proximity.

In the midwest markets I shop, cash flowing deals can be found with 1% rule or better.

I thought owner occupied loans are supposed be lower interest rates then non-owner occupied loans or DSCR loans also, I asked the lender if she could adjust the purchase price to $750,000 to see if that would lower the interest rate and the interest rate actually went up to 8.625% and pay 0.353 points I'm thinking I should find a mortgage broker that can quote me with multiple lenders to shop the rate and loan costs instead of a direct lender Thank you for the help!

The boys anyway just need a few tiny or mobile homes with a couple shops they can work on their cars, trucks and motorbikes. 

Probably any of the online shops like CE Shop or Aceable agent. 

I would like to shop around as I feel much of the commercial contractors have a higher estimate.  

The way we structured it was that the 5% commission was a "gift" to my wife who was also on the loan/title.

BUT...definitely shop around. 

Just make sure to shop around for good DSCR lenders and crunch the numbers to ensure it makes financial sense long-term.

:(Soooo.... depending on it's age (which you didn't state); perhaps Repair the roof, then shop Ins Brokers (usually out of state ones are best!)
