Currently a majority of the existing mixed use buildings have the commercial space shuttered with the owners just biding their time until the real estate prices make sense for them to rent out or sell - or they are just asking way too much in rents for any businesses to survive for very long.

Any recommendations on mortgage lenders for an LLC?

I wanted to have a spot to rent out and cover the monthly mortgage payments while securing a small spot to have for myself in the next 30 years for when I no longer reside in Charlotte but want to visit friends, or downsize.

A minority are now carrying the tax burden, and the majority are existing via various forms and levels of assistance. 

Inheriting a tenant can be a bit of an adventure, but with the right steps, you'll be golden.First things first, dive into that existing lease agreement.

Renting it out now could help cover the mortgage, and you’d benefit from any appreciation over the next two years.

I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.Here is my setupPurchased property under a TrustLLC in FL owns the TrustHolding company LLC in WY owns LLC in FLI purchased the property sub-to, took over the seller's mortgage and I’m working on setting up insurance for the property.I understand I need to keep the seller as additionally insured in my insurance, but the seller no longer has "interest" (ownership) either in the Trust, nor any of the LLCs nor in the Deed nor Settlement Statement.

The good thing about househacking a legal multifamily unit is that lender allows you to use the vacated units of 75% market rent as an income to offset the potential current mortgage.

We still see one another, but it's not the close family ties that once existed.

sounds interesting to partner with him as I don't live in the states and can't get a mortgage as I am not a citizen so would be nice to have someone that has knowledge of the US market and that already has a team in place.Any insight to this guy or even your opinions about this  would be much appreciated.
