What does paying them 10% for their services have to do with this?

After a few months the borrower came to us to ask us if we would be willing to do a partial release as he had a couple of the properties sold at a good profit.  

The appraisers in San Diego do not typically look up the permits. 

We mainly do commercial.  

In Portland for example, you cannot do STR for greater than 90 days per calendar year if you do not owner occupy the property (unless you have a property with commercial zoning).

Fortunately, with my job, I do have people there to discuss it with and learn from, but I am still excited to expand that knowledge base further than my immediate circle.On my personal real estate journey, I am currently under construction on a new-build triplex that I'll be house hacking.

Do you know when the leases expire?

Bigger Pockets can't stop sponsors from going on other sites (podcasts).

If no one's living there, do you have to foreclose like in a CFD foreclosure state?

What are you planning to do next?
