I doubt any bank will do this kind of financing.

She's talked about it for a couple years now, but ultimately, I doubt she'd ever seriously consider it, unless there was a special niche where she thought she'd have a competitive advantage over the bulk of the other brokerages out there.Running some preliminary numbers, it appears that for residential brokerages, if you can't scale to at least a couple dozen agents, it ends up being a low-paying job with a lot of management responsibility, overhead and headaches.Plus, she's still 6 months from being able to get her broker's license.This is probably something I'd consider doing (with an investing niche), but I'm still at least 3 years from getting my broker's license...

I doubt any rate change would be significant, it's a roll of the dice.

There are without a doubt many submarkets within this area.

Cement backer board, morter, grout and labor are pretty much independent of the cost of the tile itself, and easily add up to several dollars.

Never heard of this and seriously doubt its true.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and welcome you to BP and say, if you've got some wisdom, I'd sure to like to learn from it

I doubt they would just call the note.....

I guess you would rather pay their share of public projects, highways, law enforcement, etc....so that the entire burden of support is off the wealty and supported by the little people.Rich, I'm sure I'm up there as well, but we are not wealthy in my mind, I doubt anyone on BP is "wealthy" ....but maybe you are....in my mind, wealthy kicks in at 100M!

I doubt anyone here can tell you the best thing to do since your problem is really your market and we are not familiar with the town.Raising deposits is a barrier to entry, having a shorter lease term really won't solve anything since it's the problem is the type of tenants you are leasing to.
