I got the loan.

I own a mortgage company and know PennyMac. 

I wouldn’t want to hold the loan for too long, so ideally it would be a 5 year term, presumably ballon payment at the end.

If you're not conducting the work yourself, contract with reputable and competent companies.

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.

First time buyer loan with 11% down.

Depending on the type of commercial you want to get into my suggestion is to go work for a company that does commercial real estate as learning from people who do it and getting paid at the same time is not a bad strategy 

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

While it provides opportunities for buyers who may not qualify for traditional loans, it's important to ensure affordability and long-term sustainability.

Anyone have any experiencing getting the city/utlities company to add separate meters?
