The 4th Ave location is labeled business 8 and has many smaller shopping centers and local restaurants that make it a better selection for air bnb than most of the rest of yuma west of 4th ave which is primarily family neighborhoods without any real attractions for visitors to enjoy.Also, the main street location would be the closest to the Quechan Casino on the Arizona and California border. 

While we can technically get away with the thinking of having less restrictions, requiring more security, making demands such as life insurance being pledged on a key person as a borrower, drill down to the assumptions in commercial that allow greater leeway.A more sophisticated borrower, conducting business with a purpose to make a profit as compared to an unsophisticated borrower attempting to secure personal needs, such as housing.However, never think that "predatory dealing" or "predatory lending" or violations of fair trade, or what is customary for the size and scope of a transaction can be swept under the rug.

I will have my RE License and I have plenty of motivation to work so I don't foresee any problems with surviving in a reasonable mountain town/cityI have a 50k/year casino job right now that I plan on using to save up enough to move West.

The building is walking distance from a college campus and less than a 5 minute drive to downtown area and 10 minutes from a community college, 5 minutes from a hospital and in the near future there will be a casino about 5 miles from it.I have a good relationship with the landlord so hopefully he is open to a creative deal.
