The previous owner was actually very lucky the unit didn't burn down.

My wife and I finally made the leap and closed escrow on our first STR home last Friday at 2:03pm, the Oak Fire started 7 minutes later, and (it appears) that the house burned down 24 hours later...we never got the keys.

When we burn out, mistakes get made and the people who took a chance on us lose money.

The google images showed it might have been burned down, and the owner never rebuild it and went ahead and shut down the storage facility. the closet facility is 3 miles out to the main road. 

People that are negative towards coaching have either been burned by a coach, know someone who has been burned by a coach, don't want people to be taken advantage of, or they don't want to spend the money to learn something they think they could learn on their own for free. 

However, C deals might be cheap enough where you can get burned and learn a lesson pretty inexpensively.

However we learn best from our own experiences and specifically the ones that burn us the Most.  

Take the time to burn up the phones finding your lender. it will require many calls. and be very direct and to the point, asking them if they will allow a seller carry back on a commercial loan. be prepared that even if they do allow it, they will still want you to have a certain amount of skin in the game. 

Quote from @Cassidy Burns: Hey BP,I'm looking for a good meet up to attend in Charleston , SC.  

It amazes me that people don't help themselves get help and burn a bridge they are counting on needing.
