While there are similarities in commercial and residential, hiccups may come up during a deal and it would be beneficial to have a commercial realtor walk you through it well.

See Comment 1  Mike,What kind of "hiccup" besides defaulting on the new properties mortgage or being sued could make this a bad idea?

Were there any hiccups during the process?

The only hiccup we are having securing insurance to satisfy the lender. 

Luckily, I know several that still have 100s of millions of dollars in liquidity (fine in the long term) but have paused alongside their competitors as a conservative measure in the wake of uncertainty caused by this virus although the big issue is servicing/back end (dried up secondary market for these loans/pending foreclosure wave).  

Sure, there have been hiccups, but a mutual trust and respect in/for each other allows us to always come to an amicable resolution.Thank you in advance. 

I want to observe alongside and also help with some of the work / capital needs.

I work alongside my dad Jim, who has 30 yrs. experience in the multi-family real estate world.

For example, our property pays a 9% hotel tax to the city, essentially as our collateral for being allowed to operate alongside hotels with no issues of ever being shut down.

This was an SFR that the owner converted into a triplex working alongside his contactors.
