I thought it would be fun to get a forum going to see what everyone's unique ways they have come up with to add value to a commercial deal.I always look for coin operated laundry or a garage you can rent out that is not currently listed as a unit.I am excited to hear the responses.

Depending on the economics of the area you could be looking at subdividing and hopefully getting anything from a pizza place to a coin-op laundromat.

Standard features of non-qm.The value proposition is that they are NOT expensive when compared to hard money, so it's a question of if it is worth it to you in order to get rates/fees/terms that will beat HML (but don't bother if it's a scenario where you MUST close in less than 45 days, b/c that is a coin toss).

I'm in California and do mortgages, but if both Los Angeles and Detroit have an unusual weather event on the same day, it's a good 50/50 coin toss which one I will hear about first (I'd only hear about a Texas or New York or Kentucky weather event on the news), dependent on if I talk to a client/realtor in SoCal, or a mortgage account executive, first, even though I'm on the other side of the country from one of those two locations, and in the same state as the other.Bust follows boom, so no surprise that mass layoffs are going on, but the "baseline" amount of mortgage business is going to be lower than pre-COVID 2019, moving forward.

Once this tenant gets too far behind, my opinion is that they will never be able to catch up and that money is permanently lost.The other side of the coin is, by the time you successfully evict them and renovate it will be spring.  

not that any of this probably means anything to most people on the wholesale side of the coin.. and buying court house steps is hard enough..

Shouldn't be hard to do since they are failing to perform.We have a coin-op laundry at a multiplex of ours.

If you have that kind of coin, then meet with a few and have them set it up.

So I have done well with cryptos over the last year, enough to buy houses in cash. 

I've got some that I panned many years ago and some coins/bullion, but am clueless about liquidating it at anything near market value.
