I'll never forget my 1st call it was a disaster, LOL.I have some new obstacles I need to tackle now, like making low ball offers and getting properties under contract.

What I am learning first hand is that financing is my first obstacle.

So many folks encounter an obstacle like that, or opportunity, and decide to hunker down for fear of the unknown. 

I got this deal where I can possibly buy a delapidated church that has a huge detached rectory building behind it that I could convert into one bedroom apartments and use the demo church for parking...bad karma to level a church?

That's the biggest obstacle some of my buyers are going through right now with these higher interest rates.

Also has a detached garage.

Focus on the deal, the return and be prepared to shoot down all their obstacles. 

Johnny,I plan on targeting traditional sellers of single family detached homes under 300,000 cash buyers.

When dealing with personal living spaces, distinction between residential and commercial arises from a definition by {I believe} HUD in the U.S.A. and CMHC in Canada that classifies 1-4 family properties as residential (attached or detached).  

While my immediate priority is a day job in the real estate field, my wife and I are nearly done with the architecture plans to build a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on our property and add an immediate cash flow generating rental unit.
