Your current LTV is between 78-82 which places you in the comfort zone for most commercial lenders, but I assume your market assessments are based upon after repair values and not as is values.

I finally signed up today in the hopes of gaining as much knowledge as I can.Brief summary of my reason for doing so:My family owns several commercial properties through an LLC, which was started by my father who has since passed on.We have a good amount of equity in our commercial buildings and are looking to expand into residential housing, though which avenue we are going to pursue is still undecided.I currently do not have enough knowledge or experience in the REI field to feel comfortable leveraging our commercial RE assets on residential properties.There's more to it than that, but I don't want my first post to be a novel.
