An interesting distinction, as in my mind, it was the opposite.Since the buyer did in fact pay over asking,  and was very easy to work with through negotiations, I, after careful deliberation, bought the buyer a new roof. 

This is a thread you want a clear distinction. 

$1.8M Building we are considering is 100,000 sq ft, but really divided up into two distinct portions, the original single story 50k sq ft footprint, and a new two story addition at 27k sq ft per floor.

IMO, the best way to approach investors and lenders is appraoching those who fall in two categories:Those with money who have already made real estate loand; andThose with money who have never made a real estate loan.Yes, they have something in common, but these are two distinct groups, the cheapest money will come from the novice.

@Alex Furini I had no idea that distinction, thanks so much for the tip!

FHA and conventional make no distinction for first timers. 

AirDNA will make no distinction in its comps for comparing your subject property on the ocean with another 4 BR home that is 3 streets in from the coastline. 

Not sure how it works in your market but bringing a buyers broker to the selling broker in my market for a commercial property would put you at a distinct disadvantage at getting it.  

That said, I think (purely personal opinion) that it's a syndication/non-syndication distinction.

I think the distinction between what kind of guests use which platform is eroding slowly, but it seems to me there is still a difference.
