@Ned Carey Yes it was a federal income tax lien. 

I currently have about 12 other commercial loans spread over 3 different lenders, and none required a 1/2 year prepaid taxes.My point would really be simply that what you experienced isn't a federal requirement, so it shouldn't be stated as "universal fact". 

However, the VA Lender's Handbook (Pamphlet 26-7) cuts right to the chase and is the guiding regulation for lenders.4) NFCU Business Loans/Lines of Credit - Navy Federal Credit Union advertises business lines of credit, as well as loans for commercial and investment real estate5) Tuition Assistance / GI Bill - There are plenty of undergraduate and graduate degrees in real estate & property management; both in-house as well as online.

New Federal Court house about to break ground.3.  

my concern is, as stated on the affidavit, this is a federal crime.  

Under the federal securities laws, a company or private fund may not offer or sell securities unless the transaction has been registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available.

Obviously, these changes create differences between the definitions in the FinCEN rule and those used in the SAFE Act and other federal mortgage-related statutes.

I can get more than half of this investment $$'s on year1 (60% of the investment on year1 with depreciation, rest in remaining 5-6 years) combined with potential tax benefits (30% Federal tax benefit on Solar).3.

I specifically disagree with this analysis, and am willing to bet against it if you are up for it:"...we expect the Fed to begin normalizing interest rates by increasing the Federal Funds rate this month. … Thus, we forecast that by the end of 2016 the federal funds rate will be about 1.5 percent and it will approximate 3.25 percent at the end of 2017.”"
