I was under the impression that 5 years on that type of loan is the norm.

You're really making a lot of impressive improvements.

Many noobs have the impression that they can make thousands or even tens of thousands per month without any of their money or much experience.

I have the general impression a lot of commercial is word of mouth or friend of a friend.

I've seen both fees mentioned repeatedly in articles here, usually in the context of "when they hand me the application, I collect [both fees] IN CASH at that time"... that's why I had the impressions that I had.So I'll chill out (something I'm not all that good at!)

My general impression and experience is that most institutions do not prepare you for the "real world" and do not prepare you to start or run your own business.

I am very impressed with what I have seen.

Telling me that it's a poor rental is clear, but I guess I was trying to see if taking a partner to front the capital and then rehabbing would be best, or if my first impression to assign it with a 10k bump in price is the thing to do, or to lease option might be feasible, or something else...I suppose it's harder to evaluate a home that is in such a different market; this neighborhood is so close to lots of change in downtown, and one of this week's top local stories is the discussion of the new NBA arena to be built just blocks away.

I was very impressed with the quality of people running Entrust.Consequently, I chose to use Entrust as my IRA custodian.

They have some really impressive cap rates lately.
