Thanks so much,LS A tenant should not be giving you lease extension options.

My situation is that I don't have extensive employment history, which as far as I know (which isn't much about this,) is necessary for transactional funding/hard money lenders, correct?

I'm trying to get a business off the ground to set up vacation rental properties (anything from sourcing furniture and decor, to policy/guidebook creation).

Like you said something with a duplex or in law extension would be great but I just need to find it.

My reccomendation with 203k loans is to make the lender prove they have extensive experience with 203k and recent closed loans.

In addition, the living room has extensive glass sliding pocket doors that open up to the backyard, where a swimming pool and patio await.

She had lived out of the state and had a hard time understanding the property and it's rural challenges (septic and well) She unfortunately didn't have the same vision for the commercial space and did not want to invest any additional cash into the repairs the house needed (two new small roofs, extensive reno) How did you finance this deal?

As recent as today Biden and administration has said there are going to be doing immediate financial actions, so all signs indicate this is going to be the most rapid roll-out of the most extensive sweeping changes of any exchange of Presidential powers in history. 

The bank/credit union can possibly give you better rates and terms however they are typically not as fast paced so you may run into issues wit closing times and needing an extension. 

There is a property for sale that has 2 homes, 1 is in need of "extensive repairs".
