Depending on your office location, co-working spaces may open you up to more 'walk-in' business than any storefront or traditional office space.- Evaluate the best tech platforms to subscribe to. i.e. skiptracing, RE data sites, CRMs, etc.- Create Standard Operating Procedures (w/video) for every repetitive task on the admin, sales, and marketing sides of the business.

hey @Shaydon Childersmost responses are right, this will be challenging for traditional DSCR as they dont like gift of equity; and seller credits would be capped (usually at 2% of your purch price) and only allowable to be applied to closing costs. i have one lender (specifically for 1-4 unit investment properties) which will allow for up-to 90% CLTV... and they are okay with seller financing so long as the seller is in 2nd lien position, allowing them in first lien position. they would max at 75% LTV on their 1st, with a 15% allowable seller-carryback (90% CLTV), and then up to 3% seller credits toward closing costs too. they offer 30 year fixed rates, however, due to the added risk for the lender, the rates are going to be much higher than the traditional DSCR loan.

Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option

Your traditional hard money doesn't eat your profit, they charge you a high rate.3. $150/month in cash flow is not something to hope for.
