Where I'm at we have suburbs of suburbs, all pretty valid for a commute to a major area or commerce or employment.I'm curious of your overall thoughts on commercial property, however; this is the first time that I've seen commercial real estate listed on the BP forums in my short couple of months here so far. 

I will send you a message shortly to see about chatting, I do appreciate the warm welcome from all!

Rates will be more than conventional but less than a short term rehab loan.

If your lease isn't at least 5-10 pages it's too short and will cause you problems with tenants.

So I pass away the boring hours in a car listening to music, podcasts or audio books which lead me here by chance.I listened to a podcast about a month ago interviewing Tai Lopez, just out of the blue.

It is now cash flowing fine and I was able to extract most of my costs (ended up ~$20k short of extracting all of my costs and that was mostly due to a low refinance appraisal).

I would suggest getting a cash out refinance especially if you are short assets and cash.

In a reasonably short time, you'll get a much better sense of what's acceptable work and what isn't before you give the go-ahead to paint.

@Joshua KohlThe short rule is: you can deduct something that would be deductible if the property was already in operation as a rental.

I short changed myself, lol, but a little money is better than no money.
