Speaking as a lender (not investor) with some experience in small balance commercial lending, I can tell you that it is likely going to be tough to find financing most likely as a lot of commercial lenders tend to stay away from churches, although could be more favorable if the building is true retail/office rather than a structure built specifically in the style of a traditional church (i.e. hard to transition to other tenants if needed)

At that point, it was a "live for free" investment.

Built a nice chunk of equity and also lived for free/cash flowed after I left. 

That being said, the curve steepened when Biden took office. 

We want to buy a single-family home as close to debt-free as possible and then use leverage after that point.

These could include any legal, licensing, office, and even medical expenses.

You should, that's the best thing about STR, you can get free use out of them.

If the downpayment + closing cost is free, and you are doing a triple net lease to keep any repairs on the tenant in the next ten years, it may be worth the trouble.

I am also looking to start to transition into long turn multifamily properties.feel free to shoot me a message or if you know of anyone that would like to connect.

If house hacking is in the plans that can be a great strategy.Please feel free to DM me if I can help in anywayHope that helps!
