They considered it just part of doing business.

Hi @Nicole Foglia why not keep the ground floor commercial and lease it out to a business?

I would like to tap that but my interest rates are super low (2.8- 4.0%) I have also considered doing a business line of credit.

It will be the key to most businesses moving forward operating inside of the real estate investing space.

Or do you simply have to be obsessed to even have a chance to make it in this business?

Definitely a focus area from lenders, conventional or otherwise - theres been a reported uptick in occupancy fraud or funny business lately as rates and values have continued to be so high and qualifying so tough - people are more likely to bend the rules on stuff like this - so this is generally the lender response

Hi Keith, Is this a new construction purchase? 

Construction loan.

A bit strange, I thought about this a bit and I didn't know if this could be signs of a sketchy scenario or if it was none of my business (besides the non-existent damage to the doors/ windows).

Buying new construction can also be a good investment because of the lower maintenance cost int he first few years.
