Once you get into the commercial space, some lenders will look at the property in order to assist in financing.

I already nixed it because the living space was miniscule but it's good to get your nod! 

My strategy is to continue in the residential space for the time beingTo summarize - Even after the refinance in the LLC, I still need insurance.

I understand pros and cons, but thinking maybe a good close to home pro as far as a hard money lender and him possibly being a little more relaxed with the interest he would charge us.

Banks seem VERY cautious of commercial, specifically office space for obvious reasons.At this point I am thinking of waiting until 2021 because my tax returns will be stronger and the building will have better seasoning.Interested to hear about what other commercial investors are experiencing? 

Maybe instead they'll want a 2-3 bedroom townhouse with a garage that is just outside the downtown core with a lot more space but still a short commute to work?

She is covering my space coast side of things.

If it's vacant, we'll walk around it and peek into any parts we can see, look under the crawl space and so forth.

Natural gas is cleaner, easier when renting or selling and requires less space.

Throughout this time, I have been thinking a lot and researching about whether it would make sense to continue spending the time renovating, or if I should buy refurbished, or if I should even look to purchase new.For those who are experienced in this space, I was wondering if anyone has ever done a financial case study to see if manually building a HUD code approved mobile home (via Home Depot materials) could potentially be cheaper than purchasing new?
