And, I'm closing a commercial property that requires $300K down and the closing date is Oct 15.If I pay the income tax, I will not have enough fund for downpayment.But if I don't pay the tax, I may get a tax lien on my company which may prevent me from getting an approve for the mortgage plus I need to pay around $10K penalty.And, if I get a $200K loan, they may put an lien on my company and potentially prevent me from getting a mortgage too.So, what should I do now?

Simon, Here in FL its much easier for us because we know a few things:1) The U.S. is severely under supplied in housing units. 2) Tons of people are moving to Florida everyday which makes point #1 even more drastic for us. 3) Interest rates are preventing people from selling their homes, because then they would need to re-trade for a higher interest rate buying a new home, which is creating even more housing demand.So with this knowledge, now we move to more market specific data, which is what I talk about in the original post.If a market shows decent growth and demand, then it all boils down to the numbers.Its important not to forget about any costs though.
