But my biggest question is why would you want to use commercial financing on your own residential property, when you can get residential 30-year fixed financing on a refi at historically low interest rates?

But I have not heard back, and don't know if he is really going to even try and obtain it.Another issue I didn't even mention (I don't want to overwhelm BP members :) ) is that this is an Historic property, and in the chain of title, there are some restrictive covenants by an Historical Foundation that owned the property at one time.

If you go to newly full time freelance, the historical freelance income on your tax returns can be used to check the two year box, especially if it's some sort of internet gig where your location is not relevant.For #5, to overcome the down payment hurdle, run numbers and see if it'll still cashflow in a way that makes sense to you after doing a cash out refinance.

This code applies to your duplex (unless, by chance, it's been designated as a "historically significant" building).

We have historically had a difficult time renting this type of unit because those tenants do not feel they can qualify with us.....and never apply.Two - Our focus has and will be more on the Single Family Home management in San Antonio and surrounding areas.  

Functionality is key in loving where you live and we think differently and have different priorities than people back when some of these homes were built so redoing layouts is often necessary, especially in historic places like Richmond.

I own 2 single family homes and live with my girlfriend who has a historically renovated condo building downtown in Danville, VA.

@Jules Haddix this has historically been one of the more blighted, high crime areas of Indianapolis.

I believe that is also wildly overpriced with companies valuations being extremely higher than historical averages based on earnings multiples.
