- And you used the space as a residence space for 2 years out of the 5 years leading up to the sale.YES! 

Quote from @Melis Torres: I believe the commercial space must be 25% of the total square footage or less.I would talk to your VA lender to see what options are available.

(I am speaking from the owner-occupied servicing space.)

We have been working in the real estate space for a while, but all our experience is oversea (Italy 🇮🇹).

This may decrease the amount of dues owed per unit, but also creates major issues when there is a hail storm or other loss that effects the exterior and shared spaces of the property. 

Industry Ethics / Trust / ImprovementWhen we started Carrot in '08, this space was ripe with hucksters.

Instead, invest in areas with a higher ROI, like backyard amenities, game rooms, and standout design.Most of our clients refresh these spaces with a new coat of cabinet paint, updated flooring, and small changes that make a big impact.

As you spend more and more time in both of those wonderful spaces, you'll find that Michael is among the greatest contributors to them, providing an abundance of no non-sense expertise.

We added $40K-$50K refinishing the hardwood floors, removing wallpaper, painting walls and updating the kitchen & bathroom with new cabinets, adding granite countertops and creating a BEAUTIFUL dining room off the kitchen that was wasted space as an enclosed porch, and also added french doors leading out to a newly-built pre-finished deck we added so the new owners could enjoy their gorgeous fenced in backyard.

I work closely with people in my market that are looking to invest in the STR space!
