—yep, that’s probably one of Ben Wolff’s landscape hotels, stealing your attention and vacation dreams.I recently caught up with Ben, co-founder of Onera and Oasi, about what makes his unique stays so successful, and one thing stood out to me: It’s all about creating that “wow” factor.

I'm thinking Sherwin Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) and white windows, and it's fairly common and well reserved in our region.

I have a knack for saving on materials while providing some unique flair that will stand out in the market. 

In the world of commercial real estate, especially for those of us involved in wholesaling, hard money lending, and larger commercial transactions, finding truly qualified leads can be one of the toughest parts of the job.Unlike traditional real estate, commercial deals require a more complex understanding of financing, deal structure, and the unique needs of clients—many of whom are investors looking for specific ROI targets.

Traditional banks sometimes balk at it because they see it as riskier, but local credit unions or regional banks tend to be more open to it, especially if you can show a solid plan for development or resale.

Since I did work with local credit unions, maybe I’ll try a regional bank or go with a commercial loan as you mentioned.  

I'm guessing national or regional banks don't really do that?

I wholesale and buy rentals in this region. 

Ideally, you'll want to see average 90% occupancy across the board, otherwise you'll be relegated to regional bank and credit union lenders that require (i) recourse, (ii) deposit requirements at close, (iii) slightly higher rates, (iv) lower amortization, and (v) less interest only [if cash flow is a priority for you]. 

Very selective process, and geographical regions- but this is an AMAZING tool for some people.
