A difficult, but safe approach is to pay for a 6 or 12 month option to purchase the office building.  

Leather is a good option and it does get a lived in look after a while which can be either a plus or minus.

That's exactly what I'm saying, pay off your entire balance before the statement closes (option 1), not on the actual payment due date (option 2)                                                              Option 1               Option 2Prior statement balance on Nov 1             $0               $5,000New charge on Nov 5                         $10,000             $10,000Paid on due date Nov 10                             $0              -$5,000Paid on closing date Nov 30             -$10,000                      $0Statement Balance on Nov 30                    $0              $10,000The ultimate goal is not to pay off your statement balance in full each month. 

@DeBret McGee IIYour best bet is to secure a deal with creative financing, seller financing or meter lease options.

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose between Basic and Comprehensive Coverage and understand your options for Cash Value vs.

One of the lease for a rental is about to expire and would like to change from single family to rent by the room and try, to market for regular leasing we normally go to Zillow and advertise for free, but for rent by the room not sure which of all the sites out there will be the best option(s), some of them are for free, majority pay a monthly or anual subscription ($99 to $200).Do you have any guidance on which to select?

the options I saw were :“Some lenders treat the transaction as a rate-and-term refinance rather than a purchase.

Mixed-use continuation is best served if you have foot traffic there or if there may be local business who could use a storefront and there aren't a ton of other similar mixed-use options near by.If I was choosing, I like mixed-use better because it gives you a diversified investment inside of one investment.

Which is kind of what should be done anyway if your serious long term.... or would a different path be a better option here?

Working from another location is not at option.
