Banks were renting spaces to get business back in the 20s, hence commercial, and they rented to clothing, shaving, and shine boutiques and whoever else wanted to pay for a space.Some banks will treat anything over a single-family home as a type of commercial property as you are technically renting space as commercially defined. 

In the end we pitched seller financing, which I thought they'd never go for, but we ended up working something out on pretty favorable terms.I'm interested to connect with others who are doing boutique hotels / STR hotels, whatever you want to call it. 

I was an on-site sales agent for luxury boutique buildings.  

This again puts another $6-$20k in my clients’ pockets and getting a more personalized and boutique experience rather than being just another number.

The home is in a good location - 3 blocks from the up and coming revitalized "downtown square" with boutique shops, cute restaurants, coffee shops.

Find a local, boutique property management company.

My financial advisor is boutique and is connecting me to private lenders which sounds promising but who knows their appetite.

Small boutique firm, lower mgmt fee, personalized service, good mentions from here (BP forums), focused only on KC.
