I currently still have a lot of questions mainly geared towards a real estate CPA or Lawyer.Regards,Christian

Hi Angela - did you get any feedback about Christian Park?  

My real estate tech startup Clever, based in downtown STL, is a licensed brokerage, and everyone on the team had to become licensed agents -- but given that our full-time jobs are at a startup, none of us are "realtors" in the traditional sense. 

If not you have to go the traditional route of hiring an Architect and then a GC.

My guess is that this will drive down rents to the point where they would compete with the more traditional apartments in the downtown area.

I'm going the traditional route of a conventional mortgage, fighting underwriting, etc.

Traditional landlording is the least profitable and riskiest way to hold property.

it matters what KIND of financing you get for a fannie/Freddie loan you need it to be in some individuals namefor traditional commercial it'll need to be in an LLC (or similar entity)In small banking and equity lenders there are limitless options though.

Thanks for your input Christian!

It is also likely that they have fallen behind on updates and some maintenance so it can be a real hassle for them to spruce things up to sell the traditional way.You can combine owner occupied and Absentee owners in a Low Financial Stability Score (FSS) list.
