When I questioned how this was possible, I was told they could do what they like with the property and immediately referred me to the HUD resource center, who were as confused as I was with the whole thing.  

I'm thinking of purchasing a commercial condo in Viet town shopping center, San Jose.

With the real estate boom centered around 5+ years of building apartments I feel that is where I don't want to be. 

These houses have turned into interpretive learning centers and often open for tours.  

The entire area is growing rapidly, with college and university in Bend, Facebook, and Apple opening data centers, and all the people fleeing CA, etc.

And I would like to own a Dunkin Donuts and maybe DQ as stand alone building. and build a strip center and own franchises on UPS store, Anytime Fitness and a smoothie store etc. 

There are some strip centers I've looked at recently where the current owners are probably desperate enough to take back some financing.But they seem to have structural issues which I'm not convinced I would be able to turn around.

As Russell suggested, find a good lender that knows their stuff, not Quicken and other like them who are just call centers and only know how to check boxes.
