they just aren't going to shine until after you've owned them for 10+ years.i'm personally trying to buy on seller finance right now. 

Do you manage the finances of your lawn care business yourself, or do you have someone that helps you, particularly when you're trying to forecast your numbers?

Many banks wont touch deals that are sub 90% occupancy, so you could negotiate short term seller financing to help give you runway to make the building bankable for a refinance while you reposition it.

Knowing your long-term plans can help you build a long-term financing strategy so that you are not just worried about purchase number 4, but also purchases 5 - 20+ (if you plan to continue to invest).I'm an investor and licensed mortgage broker.

My first deal would be all cash, and if all goes well, maybe a year or two later another deal with some financing.

@Bobby Short Depending on the equity you have on your primary residence you might be able to find a lender to finance the property in CR with your primary residence as collateral.

We have education in real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance.  

We rent to plenty of S8 applicants; I've always believed the standard of care they exude is as high if not higher than "market" applicants because they'll get kicked out of the program if they don't.

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

It depends. all you talked about was the property but financing is more about the borrower, their experience, their credit, the cash available etc.
