Also helpful to know your short term 1-5 year goals and your long term 5+ year goals as that will make a difference.

I have 6 acres under contract to develop a flex business park.

Just a couple notes from my side: I don’t believe you can lend from your IRA to yourself to flip a house since you are a “disqualified” person, or whatever the term is.

If you're using hard money simply for the purchase and plan to refinance, the hard money would actually require less than long term financing.

If a tenant doesn't want to sign a new contract, and the old contract expires, then they're squatting. 

The biggest advantage is I could still refinance since it was technically owner occupied.In terms of privacy, it depends on how the loft is laid out.

You'll want to ensure that the lease clearly outlines the terms and responsibilities, including occupancy limits and any necessary modifications to the property.

You'll get the most favorable financing terms and offset your housing expense while paying principle.

This puts us in a good position, in terms of making sure we are not taken advantage of by any contractors. 

. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.
