You will often see this with their scheduling, communication, and even finances (asking to be paid ahead of schedule).

Im looking to secure financing for my real estate business.

The initial plan is a 1200 sf build out with plans to expand back away from the cliff later as finances and interest rates are more favorable.

How did you finance this deal?

I am learning about financing right now and that question just came into my head.

There is a book in the library called "Low (and no) Money Down" that discusses the various methods of financing purchases.

What does my purchase price and down payment need to look like for the bank to provide financing? 

I'd be happy to connect and chat about the area and financing options.  

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!
