- All cash 100% of the time although, not all the cash is mine, I use private lenders funds mixed in with mine so I may do 3-5 deals at once.4.

Other thought is that while I am not too familiar with Ohio laws or process, if your property is zoned industrial but it's in a more mixed use area then if you can't get in a tenant, you can usually get a variance for some other, more commercial use.

In fact, one "fast talking" HML kept changing and mixing terms, I had trouble getting the actual numbers!

I am not sure of any lender that would be ok with what you are describing....you are essentially describing a mixed use property....and you want to be one of the contractors on the site?

Sounds like a bad sewer line or the water line is bad mixing with the dirt.
