I truly just think this was a conservative bank/incompetent loan officer.

I have meetings with my lawyer to discuss partnership contract and acct for the financial piece.Since this is extremely new, I am building a team of a contractor, broker, loan officer, accountant, Lawyer and investors. 

If you strip it down too much, you can only earn a referral fee but not actually do any transactions.You have to talk to a few offices and see what they can do for you as an investor.

We intend to use this space as an office and or small sleeping quarters.

We have done all kinds of deals on our own ranging from buying, selling, flips, BRRRRs, and now are also invested in commercial properties along with our SFR portfolio.After retiring from the Navy last summer (2023) and working in a corporate office for 18 months, I have made the leap to working for REI Nation, the country's premier turnkey investment property company.

Reach out to the Marcus & Millichap offices in Columbus/Cleveland and have one of the MMCC commercial mortgage brokers produce a few quotes for you.If you don't have the time to research contact info / programs for 25-50 different lenders and make the calls/emails necessary to obtain optimal financing, hire a broker.

Also, make sure you’re marketing to the right buyers—families or those needing home office space might be especially interested in the room your house offers.Highlighting the renovations is key.

Keep in mind the brokerage that just offers low desk fees and a nice office doesn't have a direct correlation to the training you will receive and value you will get for the cap you are paying.

We have now lost the property - In the morning I will be contacting the attorney general office for my state as well as Delaware where they say they are incorporated.

My only complaint is communication, it can be difficult to get answers from office staff.
