I lease space in this multi-tenant fully occupied office building and have the first right of refusal whenever it is put up for sale.

This building will be a two-story home-office, lower commercial for us, upper single family loft to reside in. 

Another possibility might be adding additional sources of income - renting out the common space/room in the office if you have one, to the tenants for birthday parties etc, vending machines, coin operated laundry, pet fees, pet non refundable pet deposits.  

I read something about hiring a loan office with a license or something to take over?

There's really no reason to bring it up in the conversation you have with your loan officer unless a good part of your qualifying income relies on that license.   

You may also try talking to a commercial loan officer at a small community bank.

Office deal?

Sorry to be so brief but I saw this post on my way out of the office and figured I'd help.

assessors office is the best place try your counties GIS dept. 

Hello I have been listening to all the podcasts (in my car/office) but not said hello yet, i'm from Washington state, even heard Brandon in Poulsbo Wa (PODUNK WA) I have had a house under contract for some time now 6 years or so, when I paid the arrears I also took 6 months off to remodeled it , (never again, learned a ton though) I obtained it subject to existing mortgage, I sold it once Lease option, got it back, rented it out about three times, I repainted the inside (third time) last week put a FSBO sign in the yard and have sold it rent to own to a nice couple with $10,000 down and $140,000 sales price.
