I hope you're all having a productive week.

Hi - typically Mixed Use properties are going to require a traditional commercial real estate loan from a bank, small balance commercial private lender or for the larger ones a CMBS style loan.However, a newer "DSCR Loan" product for Mixed Use is making a comeback - which is a really great option for smaller properties/more beginner investors since it has all the same trappings as a residential DSCR Loan (30-year fixed, easy qualification, straightforward process) for a property with commercial units.Generally going to be limited to 8 units max and has to be primarily residential in every way (majority residential by units, square footage and rents) but if it fits all that, its a great option

If you refinance, you would just need to use a loan product that allows the property to be owned by an LLC.

Would love to test the product out.

A developer, flipper, or wholesaler are considered to be "dealers" meaning they are like a store with product on the shelve, that they sell. 

The one I am used to using provides cost estimates of various rehab products based on specs about the house.

A new business owner can spend a fortune on a custom website before their product, audience and goals are even flushed out.

Yea you could do it like that, but usually your lender is a broker and can find you the best products as that is their profession.

The cost to evict, in terms of lost rent, vacancy, turnover costs, plus the work involved to secure a new tenant who ON AVERAGE will be WORSE than the one you would be evicting sounds counter-productive.

Andrew - The other item I share with the contractor is that if the township/borough/city has any issues/questions with the work product I always request them to address/fix.
