@Zach KirktonIt absolutely takes a while to reach out multiple times, form relationships, figure out their pain points and how to solve them.

SBA loans can be had but they have big fees  and tend to be a pain to get rolling.

Since you'll be living there, you'll just have to nail down your timeline - you don't want to go long without a kitchen or a bathroom (always make sure you have a working bathroom, obviously).Constantly moving furniture is a pain, so you might want to think about that as well.

Understanding the seller psychology and motivation is important if you want to get the deal done.

It is a pain.

Yeah, the drive is a huge pain when dealing with small things.

If you going full doc loan I would use someone like UWM (but they can be a pain getting approved) or someone off BP site. 

So they'll keep printing worthless money and find ways to squeeze whatever they can to pay the tab...and we'll keep grinding along until we run bankrupt.There's always act 20/22 in Puerto Rico...seems like a nice place to invest, but speaking realistically, 1)1031's, while nice, can be a pain in the *** and 2)If you owe taxes, it isn't all bad...you're making money, right?

We always recommend going through the pain of conventional first and then coming to the commercial side. 

While 2020 was a painful year on so many levels, it was a surprisingly successful year when it comes to economic development in the City of Toledo.The city saw just over $2 billion in investment last year, which is expected to create about 3,500 jobs.
