Hello all, I'm in the DMV area and I currently have a Mixed-Used property that I need help comping somewhat.

Hi Steve,Have you ever thought about a Japanese Shoji as a solution.You could mix that with some Feng Shui for an Asia Decorating theme.Steven Seagal would probably love it.Good Luck!

They already sent Default Letter!

@Tchaka Owen - so I’ve had mixed experiences with both Lending One & SIL, If the need came up again, i’d probably look for a new option... in addition to Lending one.Experience 1: Lending one, was preapproved for a loan on a new purchase & got all the way to scheduling the appraisal when a mysterious cap was put in place requiring a 60k per unit valuation (was never disclosed prior or even mentioned as a risk), they pulled out.

I just went for it with gusto and sent them all certified letters notifying them of the rent increase.

Nice mixed use property came up for sale practically in my back yard in rural, south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  10 residential apartments + 3 commercial spaces. 

Taking an empty site or reimagining an existing/abandoned building into housing or mixed use is most definitely a goal of mine.

Spend a couple hundred dollars and have an attorney draft a f*** off letter. 

Initially I was planning to use a mix of cash and stocks to fund this purchase, but now having the second thoughts whether I should use  just some cash and apply to some home equity financing options instead to cover the offer amount. 

A 1 hour commute is not a problem but you may need to provide a letter of explanation.
