A benefit to having the commercial property and entity is that we aim to utilize business credit, so that our personal credit and debt to income ratio is not tanked as we remodel or redesign or buy furniture. 

That is why designations are very important to me.As far as vetting, NARPM does do vet certain things about a person (licensing for example) and they do have a process where a person can file a complain through them about a member (much like the Board of Realtors). 

Avail also threw in customizable applications, leases, a personalized website, etc., for which I rarely found use, though.Fast forward after a few years of use.

Nice to see another person from Hawaii on this platform that has taught me so much, I was featured on show 668.

The reason why I would personally place Columbus Ohio in the #1 spot is because you can still find positive cash flow, the 1% rule, and you get amazing appreciation potential.

I'd suggest it's personal finance for the next 12-18 months to put yourself in the position to do this the right way. 

Besides a Hard Money Loan or HELOC, you could try and reach out for a personal/business line of credit?

There aren't high-interest money market accounts for businesses and most, if not all, high-yield money markets are for personal accounts.

Keep in mind it probably won’t be an equal split, because the person with the money is taking most of the risk.
