If you're working on other projects during that time, it could create an issue, as it would for any employer.Why not be upfront with your boss and let them know you're planning to get your real estate license?

@Matthew DrouinThe one I'm looking at right now is a smaller 8-unit project - only around a $100-125k equity raise + loan guarantee.

Here's a breakdown of the situation:Current Occupancy: 80% (16/20 units occupied).Current Gross Rent Roll: $14,265/month.Market Rent Potential: $17,665/month (100% occupancy).Renovation Needs: 15 units require full renovation ($10K/unit), 4 units are 75% renovated ($2.5K/unit), totaling $160K in renovation costs.Vacancy Loss: $41,820/year in lost income due to current vacancies.Cap Rate AnalysisThe seller lists the cap rate as 9.59%, but this is based on the projected NOI of $119,858 (assuming full occupancy and market rents).

For large apartment projects, it is not practical to demand the return of all letters before closing.

The answer is that if the lender that's doing the hard money loan is only funding the purchase and not the rehab, they then have less oversight of the project since they're not doing the draws, and thus not seeing the progress of the project and having control of the funds or draws from the rehab to make sure the project is progressing.

Small demolition projects make massive impacts.

The great part about contacting the CDC directly (and a large one such as TMC) is they can make referrals to banks that would be interested in your project (i.e. banks that have been actively doing SBA hotel loans)...rather than you having to chase down the bank first, which can be very difficult.Regular commercial lending requirements are applicable (will vary by bank):1 - no bankruptcies2 - no foreclosures3 - FICO > 7004 - net worth >= loan amount5 - post closing liquidity >= 12 months of P&IIf this works out, you are going to be glad that you made this post.

.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

If you have cash on hand to fund the rehab and want to extract it soon after the project is done, you can use delayed financing.

Also offer incentives for our maintenance team to bring project in on budget and on time.
