I’m anticipating on closing my first deal within the next 6 months so I’ve been attacking things kind of aggressively.

YouTube is loaded with videos on how to buy, rehab, rent apartment buildings but there is little out there on the business side of entities and of course how to attack the commercial stuff like shopping centers on Loopnet.Everyone knows you need big money for the larger commercial down payments, and I do know that you need to play the business credit game with a seasoned entity/entities to get the millions you'll need for commercial.I advise starting a LLC or corporation in a favorable city, county, state where you know the land, and spending a good two years on compliance, credit and seasoning.  80-100 would be the target credit score on the entity with a dozen smaller credit lines before applying for a commercial loan.  

There are plenty of books that have plenty of different views that will give you plenty of options for how you will structure and attack your real estate investing ventures.

I attack everyday with a relentless drive to be successful.  

Sorry, that isn't meant to be attacking, just meant to stir up some discussion.

This is ALSO what you said that you seemed to agree was incorrect,  "nobody is going to fault you for factoring it into the NOI calculation"Now please STOP attacking me and trying to make this personal. 

At the same time INS get approval visas for 9/11 terrorists, 7 month after attack.

If you always wait for something perfect with out understanding your evaluation criteria it'll never happen.Fine tune your numbers, your selection criteria, and your attack plan.

Sorry bro I had to say it@Mike Reynolds Gave you a ball park scenario but in reality no one can give you a number based on the information givenAs someone who has flipped hundreds and hundreds, I am reluctant to attack a 100yr old house.

If your cash flow allows, why not attack the principle and be done with the loan asap?
