I plan to get a 30 year commercial loan and my broker is telling me that 6.5-7% is more realistic for an interest rate using a complete underwriting process (3 years tax returns and credit check).

Long Term Option would be the best bet since the repairs aren't really for a major value add Loan Amount 187k Rate 6.7% (Depending on credit score) Origination 1.5 to 3 points30 Years Amortized 3 to 5 year fixed

In fact, I think it helps in terms building relationships with banks when you open accounts with them, especially when you are ready to apply for lines of credit or commercial lending.

I'm looking to get a line of credit on these properties.

They typically involve a requirement of a specific minimum credit score, maximum income, maximum purchase price, maximum debt to income ratio, and a requirement to take homebuyer class. 

We took out a home equity line of credit on our house and used that to purchase two rental houses.

Do you run a background or credit check or take a deposit?

Try calling Navy Federal Credit Union. 

Credit is not great and funds are not there yet but hopefully going into 2019 I’ll be ready to purchase my first home through an FHA loan.

Property in question is a mixed use investment property, not owner-occupied.Good credit score.Old property.High cap rate.
