She sent me a letter from Commercial Property Advisors, Peter Harris, which stated she had approval for funds sufficient to cover the purchase price and below it listed a Wells Fargo business account showing funds in excess of the purchase price.

Ask to see the approved final site plan for the first phase.

Plus, if you aren't able to get approved with what you've got now in terms of savings, credit, etc. you can learn on what you need to qualify so you know what to be working towards. 

But in the meanwhile, I have come across a land in an up and coming CT market which is already approved for under 10 units.

Not all are okay with subleasing, so you need their approval.

Therefore, it’s not guaranteed to be approved or implemented as it currently stands.

The last thing tenants want to do is lose their section 8 support, it takes years to be approved for it.

You will also need to front some of the cash to start the rehab before you get a draw approved with most lenders.

Next issue, I know we had BP members who taught real estate at state approved schools, that would have qualified, but what  tossed them out of the ring was they also taught beyond their qualifications, such as in finance and got it wrong!

She's been stuck with the city process and wanted some advice about how to get her plans approved.
