@George Adams  you would be a great borrower for any lender .. i would break out lender vetting process for commercial deals as below 1) Borrower's credit worthiness - Check for you2) Borrower's over all cash flow out side subject property to cover notes if needed3) Cash flow and projection for subject property (heaviest weight) 4) Willingness for lender to loan into property category (i.e. some lender will not lend for multi families etc) Once you find a lender who is loaning for you target property then you should be golden.
