Hi Frank, sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation and have exciting plans ahead - If you're planning to scale, you might also want to explore hard money loans or DSCR loans alongside private lending.

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

Assuming you can get the loan for the new property 

Are you asking as a buyer, or as a loan officer?

Conventional non-owner occupied loan. 20% down.What was the outcome?

such as by including affirmative coverage for forced removal in the loan policy. 

A couple of thoughts that might help.I recast a loan at a point where I had paid enough extra to allow recast (I think it was $5k over).

Finding it through your Facebook sphere shows the power of networking, and keeping the rehab cosmetic was a smart way to minimize risk and maximize profit.One thought: Have you factored in holding costs, loan interest, and potential market fluctuations during the 45 days?

Apologies - I hadn't realized you had cross-shopped between AgSouth and Vystar for the same loan prod. 

I began inviting them to online zoom meetings I would hold with brokers, agents and investors... friends I had made along the way, where we would just talk strategy, loan types, current market trends etc.
