Michigan is my home market, our head office is in Detroit. 

@Brie Schmidt    Not sure if Brie's office will do this.. but that is a group of very experienced investors/Brokers.

@Paul Kuhn I use The Law Office of Jenny L Colon, P.C. for my RE attorney needs, and Zukerman & Associates for CPA/taxes.

I have a regular day job as a tax CPA at an accounting firm, so even though we are 100% remote right now, there is a chance I have to stay near Manhattan so that I can commute to the office 2-3x a week.

Have you considered other commercial property, such as office, retail, or industrial space?

Do you rent out an office?   

I had a good and long conversation with a loan officer recently trying to get a luxury loan to get an RV.

Something akin to a house.I'd talk to a few local loan officers.

When you say commercial RE are you referring to commercial as in office/retail types of buildings or multi family thg will require commercial financing?

So, they won’t work with us.We’ve also learned that contractors usually fall into one of the following categories:Type 1 (High Quality, High Price)They can do new construction, additions, full remodeling, but maintenance work is too small for them.Typically pay for advertising, have sales staff, separate bid preparers, inhouse designers, full office support.Equates to a lot of overhead, leading to markups of 50%+.Bids: Usually have a dedicated salesman that does their bids, so able to supply quality bids.Comment: Usually have the highest prices & quality, and so these are the contractors you’d hire to work on your own home.
