I tried calling several PMs to request service and got no callback’s except for 2 (out of 8).That ratio kinda put a bit of fear in me.For the good PMs out there, please keep doing what you’re doing.

Hmmm...the land was vacant (except has lots of illegally dumped trash on it). 

There is no one living in the 32 units but the other units are occupied except for one unit. 

Most don't have power.I have a lot of LTRs that where miraculously untouched except for minor stuff.Our Lake House never lost power.

One exception might have been a 3% construction mgmt fee.

Charlie, you are correct on RESPA as Federal regulation, but finder's fee for unlicensed individuals in real estate is state by state regulation - In California, for example as long as it is diclosed this is legal - "In California, a “finder’s exception,” allowing an unlicensed person to be compensated for introducing parties to a real estate transaction, has been judicially approved since 1923.

Typically it is binary, you either meet the 24 month requirement or you don't...there are a couple of exceptions for moving in less than 24 months which you can review here:https://www.irs.gov/publications/p523#en_US_2023_publink1000...Look at the "Partial exclusion" section

A couple other tips;you can’t use the renovation loan to finance renovations to the commercial space. only exception is if you need to do repairs to the core structure or mechanicals that are integral to the building (ie, structural work, sewer lines, water mains)Make sure you work with a lender that knows how to do these.

buy low, no exceptions.
