They would be better off paying the professional to do it quickly and correctly the few times they will need a garage door opener installed.Even though i open permits slightly regularly, when i open a permit in a new jurisdiction it typically has some unique quirks that i need to learn.  

They teach ME things on a regular basis.

They sound like regular conversations where the RE professional/investor is genuinely interested in discovering the seller's pain points to help find a solution.All the best!

Everything has been cash so far but I have contacted several local banks and all of them have said about 1-2%+ above regular mortgage rates, 3-5y ARM with 15-25y term, and 20-30% down.

A Starbucks building in a suburban nice area in California is going to go for a 5% cap rate, and in Kentucky an otherwise identical building with a NNN Starbucks tenant is at a 6% cap rate.

The vast majority of "regular" or traditional (Conv/Govt) mortgages are originated by specialty lenders and brokers and are sold in the secondary market to provide yield on bank balance sheets (think Chase or BoA) or to be securitized into MBS.

The process is still much the same as getting any other kind of financing on a regular home or foreclosure.

I will also be tracking expenses related to repairs, maintenance, travel to and from NV, hotel stays, meals, gas, and other regular business costs.In the long term, I aim to purchase additional properties under the business name, but I understand I need to establish at least two years of income and credit history before doing so.The issue I’m encountering is that my accountant has not provided any guidance on how to structure this scenario.

Just curious, do you have a regular bank - like a Chase or US Bank or a local bank in addition to Baselane or do you just use Baselane exclusively?

Main goal is to listen... then follow-up regularly.
