You can consider meeting at a coffee shop, library, or community center.

STR has additional expenses like the cost of furnishings, consumables (TP, paper towels, coffee, etc.), utilities, TV/internet, landscaping maintenance, marketing, credit card fees, lodging taxes, etc.

Hire someone professionally locally to work for you and oversee manage the project (a construction manager).Some examples I can provide having worked in the construction industry is - soda bottles filled with urine in the walls, food thrown in the walls, throwing coffee down duct risers, sheetrocked over outlets providing fire hazard...

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

It's perfectly understandable you wouldn't know the licensing requirements - especially in the context of coming out of an unlicensed shop. 

walk the streets, order coffee in the coffee shops, talk to the agents, go to the REIA meetings, call the contractors, meet with the property managers.Internet doesn't cut it.

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!

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

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

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