Since Friday I have been mostly occupied with trying to help my old employer get crucial services back up and running in Asheville.

In cheaper markets it is more common to rent LTR (from what I can see, that's why the prices are lower).

This is more common for commercial (5+ units, often lenders in this category want the owner/operator to have experience self managing or hire professional management), and not very common 4 units and under, IME.  

Profit-sharing in the 20-30% range is also common in situations where coaches play a key role in creating wealth through property investment.”

I think both areas have seen recent growth (NKY more than Cincinnati in my eyes) and commonly has investors here (not too many though).

Absent that, the big differences will be which forms you report the income, your ability to deduct business expenses against the income, and applicability of self-employment taxes. 

I also wanted to add a few security cameras outside and in the common area.

The most common we are working with and the ideal situation is something between $125k and $140k at 60LTV. 

The commonality is these are policy considerations politicians in Philadelphia used for election purposes not what was best for the City of Philadelphia.

Amongst the common misconceptions I see by posters on BP are that hard money loans are junior mortgages to fill the gap between institutional financing and down payment; that it is in lieu of down payment so the borrower can acquire a property with “no money down”, and that it is money borrowed to use for an earnest money deposit.
