Correct if you have traditional sized windows Walmart has excellent blinds that come in several shades.

To answer your first question about trying to find a HML to work with you are correct a lot of traditional lenders & HML do not like to work with deals this size due to various reason.

They are not traditional and if you end up with an individual lender that has not done one before, there is unfortunately an unreasonably high probability they won't get it done in time.Just do a Google search of credit unions and local / regional banks in your city.

RE investing is a get rich slow process.

@Andrew P.  1) as  2022 is almost  here -  consider  completing and filing the 2021 tax returns asap  and  consider having the  schedule E  for the  rental income  show as much of a   positive  net  income as possible  ...this   might  increase your tax  exposure for the year but if the  result  is  that you will be able to line up a  HELOC on your primary  property , it could be worth it 2) a  traditional  cash out  refinance  will  have the same  issue   of using the tax returns  for the  qualifying ratios  - the LTV  ( loan to  value ) for a OO triplex  isnt  very high 3) recent FED  announcement  - 3  seperate  .25%  increases   expected for  fed rate  in  2022  - this means  HELOC / prime rate will increase  by the same  amount when  these increases occur 

I have not been able to materialize any created wealth for me and I am starting to get anxious about this situation, and somehow excited and relief, since I came across a way to start materializing wealth.Some years (maybe 10 or more) my wife read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and she started explaining the idea that Kiyosaki talks about, I got excited and started to do some numbers and just could not find how to do this.

We are unsure if we should open an LLC and get a commercial loan (25% down, higher interest rates), or if we should get a traditional mortgage (20% down, slightly lower interest rates).

@Zach Kuhl,aside from talking to an agent and investor if you have not, great books to read are:• Rich Dad, Poor Dad• The Millionaire Next Door• Cash Flow Quadrant • Tax Free Wealth• Set For Life• Rental Property Investing• The Millionaire Real Estate Investor• The REAL Book of Real Estate• So Good They Can’t Ignore YouYou are more than welcome to reach out if you have any questions.

Can even focus on particular shooting areas just like a traditional set.

You would have to talk to someone who's extremely familiar with this approach and find towns with favorable laws before starting.Other than that, I live and invest in New Haven county and host a monthly meet-up in New Haven for investors.I would be happy to talk & help anyway I can, I'm a licensed contractor & realtor, currently helping a couple other investors find properties in New Haven for traditional buy & hold investingBest,Ryan
