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

While there are fewer native Austinites left, if you find them—especially older residents—they can be an invaluable resource for inside information.Get involved locally: Once the tourists and college students leave for summer or holidays, you’ll realize Austin is still a small town at heart.

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

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

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

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?

Are you aware that a percentage of rent on additional units of MF can be used as income to qualify for the loan? 

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.

With a mix of college students, medical professionals, and blue-collar workers, the rental market stays pretty steady.
