For owner user industrial with an SBA loan, plan on 5-15% down.

@Lamont Marable, @David Terbeek is right...I know it seems odd, but that is part of why the industry is so F'd up...no idea why every thug in the city wants to claim to be a contractor....anyway...You should be asking for references, examples of past work, and a copy of their bond or liability insurance...or both.

People in the construction industry have higher incidents.

HELOCs are the greatest financial product in the banking industry.

Storefront, industrial etc.

The property has a 3 bed 1.5 bath main house which is in need of renovation which we will be doing all ourselves ( I am in the construction industry so i am not worried about the renovations).

The proxy for this in the current narrative are Series examinations, but these exams are largely biased toward industries serving markets with much smaller risk/return dispersions.

David’s goal was to quit his job as an auto industry engineer by buying vacation cabins in Gatlinburg.

I don't plan on yet entering the industry full-time, but I'd like to be able to represent myself as a buyer. 

Coming out of college I will already have 3+ years of industry experience and sadly, that is the main lesson I have learned from that experience.
