How are you accessing the 70% calculator?

Access equity in my current residence. 2.

It's allowed me to become intimately familiar with what types of investments (SFR, MFR, commercial, short-term) will get me to my goals and how each will impact my timeline.

Hey Ryan, How did you get such a low rate on a commercial property?

.- A commercial loan might be an option.- And, last but not least, there are of course hard money loans.

@Brian Ploszay The building my unit is in has 4 units in it side beside with direct access to the street so I don't see that as being an issue.

I think that Access (a relational database) would be much more suitable for the task.

The problem is, I wont be accessible to do the rehab for probably a year since I am away from the location where property is. 

If it is just the business and not buying a building or the land beneath it then it is not generally a real estate licensed activity.You need to check for each state what is or is not required.You could go on a site like Rocket Lawyer etc. and for a nominal fee ask the question.In commercial real estate transactions you can generally have consulting and other fees on the HUD-1 as RESPA does not typically apply.To look for more businesses you could look at bizbuysell.com  Sellers typically want 3 times gross profit earnings so if 100k a year after expenses they want 300,000.

I am a commercial truck driver going of two years now.
