Hi Henry,I'm a licensed loan officer in Georgia, if you need help with anything up that alley, let me know! 

Look up the loan officer and not the company (do they have any online reviews or social media presence; if possible look up their production numbers to see if they are any good)4.

Without a closet is would be referred to as a office or study.

As a loan officer, I've seen a few people go through the same scenario of basically breaking even. 

Assuming this is an 8 cap neighborhood you'd have a ~$420-450k value within a year (unless property taxes are crazy high) when leases would renew since it'd be valued as a commercial building with the office space.

Neighborhoods in areas like Homewood and Hoover have been experiencing strong appreciation, and the rental market continues to be strong, especially with the growing number of young professionals and college students in the area.As a loan officer, I’m here to help you navigate the financing process, whether you’re looking for your first investment property or expanding your portfolio.

And we are based in SoCal with multiple offices nationwide. 

I spent about a year there and I had an overall good experience.Most KW offices hold weekly in-person training hosted by various experienced professionals.

My business partner and I purchased a commercial office building a few years ago with creative financing.

If you’re looking for DIY options, PropStream and DealMachine can give you some lien info, but they may not always be 100% accurate or up-to-date.For Central Ohio, check with the county recorder’s office or clerk of courts for lien and judgment records.
