I own a business in Texas and we rent an office.

I'm in a small town of 9,500 and my office is a converted residential home just one block from main street and zoned commercial.

The most conservative, and possibly most likely scenario, is to underwrite from day one the new tax rate, then grow that number in line with how the assessor's office typically operates.  

Can a loan officer make a ballpark estimate that they can beat the numbers without me going through a full application?

So far, I have come up with the following ideas:- airbnb- bed and breakfast- car storage- boat storage - trailer/motor home storage- shared workspace/office space rental- general long-term storageDoes anyone have any other suggestions?  

Gene Tarney of the insurance office of MKE has been great for me.

I’m a wholesaler so I wanted someone who gets it…but I keep being told escrow officers can help and understand more

Step #1, ensure it is legal by calling your local planning division/government office and HOA. 

We did do our due diligence and have spoken with the city STR permitting office already to verify that we can have 2 owner occupied STR permits since we are zoned R2.

Should expenses related to investments for my syndicated and rental properties (like home office expenses, etc) be paid for through the business checking account?
