But, for the sake of the renovation portion I would greatly appreciate the thoughts and opinions of what options you all recommend and what has worked well for you.

Maybe this person is willing to do a master lease potentially with option to buy (no, I wouldn’t but that’s me).  

If you use an independent agent they should be able to access but if you need help shoot me a message.I'm sure there are other options for it but this works for us.

Is a personal loan an option? 

If you listen to David Greene on the bigger pocket podcast, you'll know he even believes long term equity play is one of your best long term options. 

If the LLC is an operating business..... lets say providing roofing services with annual revenues that are consistent or even better increase year after year for 10 years, lines of credit or other lending options might be available that aren't available for a new business. 

But I would like to also know what options are out there.

I know 1031 is an option but if I can offset losses in my LLC I'd rather do that and 1031 whatever gains are left.

Hey BP Fam, Im looking for some creative options to lease a commercial building I would like rent for on a long term lease.

There are opportunities for both residential and commercial properties, and the state's economy has been relatively stable, making it an attractive option for investors.Thank you for your service in the Navy, and I wish you all the best in your real estate investing journey!
