@Gary NorthcuttSounds like you're starting out, and for newbies, when commercial lenders consider loan applications, they always asked for a personal guaranty after they review your personal credit, i.e., good income stream, no bankruptcies, past due loans etc.Having said this, I worked at several lenders earlier in my career.

- How much do you charge for the application fee?

Here is my situation; I am looking to purchases a commercial property in Shenandoah, IA. here is the description:SD LOTS 496-504 CRIP W 20' E 45' LOT 6 & PT VAC ST ADJ SW. the tenant occupying the space will be leaving at the end of the month but the seller's niece is only wanting to keep the back half of the property as a hair salon and wants nothing to do with the store front or the apartments upstairs.

Because sales skills are applicable no matter what you pursue moving forward, including real estate investing.

We currently have four units that will be available next month, and applications are starting to come in.

When the structure is serviced by an individual sewage disposal system, the applicant shall have the existing or any new system approved by the department of environmental management.

(look for these numbers on the emergency contacts on the application).

He should be screened like any other applicant and he should pay market rent just like everyone else.

Also check out the blogs and book store.

From my perspective, this is mostly due to the commercial application of the term.
