I'd recommend starting with the lower hanging fruit than a large basement reno - if your comps are close but don't quite get you to your number.Finishing the basement (with proper egress) could push you over the top, but confirm with an appraiser first to ensure it counts.

Wait until it's close to the end of his lease (know what the law requires) and then give him notice that you will not renew.

There is no PPP and the closing costs are slightly lower compared to a DSCR loan. 

Process is simple. 1. purchase contract2. send contract to title company3. bring cash to closing and you're done

Has anyone saved money and closed with one of these new upstarts?

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

That being said, sure beats using hard money and taking on all those insane closing costs.

New 5-year Triple Net commercial lease with annual increases upon closing.

The item that I hate shopping for the most is dressers, and nothing else comes remotely close. 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.
