But in terms of the upfront fee, this is actually common in a commercial loan.

But he stuck with me I had a 1 mil credit line that they kept in place so I could make money it was on 90 day extensions for 3 years :( but if they had not done that I would have had to give them the keys back on a few commercial buildings I ate 250k negative cash flow on those buildings to make sure the bank got all their money..

The under writing doesn't carry for a 1.25 DSCR which (at the moment) is the golden rule for banks and commercial hard money lenders. 

Years ago as a commercial RE broker, I once had a client try to close on a commercial property using cash.

The downer is that financing through an LLC would mean “commercial loan” which has a high interest rate of nearly 9% in today’s high rate environment.

Why would someone invest when they can invest in a REIT or other fund where they own shares and thus own the ground behind it.Its like the idea where people want to sell a home but not the ground underneath it and in 30 years take it back but not be responsible for anything during that time (yes you can do this commercially but not residentially). 

I found this forum through the audiobook Crushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate.I live in the Bay Area in CA, but have invested in Florida, where I fully own three townhouses bought over the past 10 years.

I have a Florida based lender who helped prior clients of mine from Canada with their commercial real estate purchase.

What I do have is relentless energy, focus, and the drive to succeed in real estate.I’m diving headfirst into multi-family and commercial real estate because I know this is where true wealth is built.

Move to commercial and industrial.
