Opinions are like a*holes and Landlords are genetically predisposed to have several.

In the next three years, I made several improvements—removed the asbestos/popcorn ceiling, added some can lighting, updated a few light fixtures and faucets, and bought a new stove, as well as painting the whole place myself.

I have tried with two smaller lenders(National Bank of Arizona and OneAZ Credit Union) and they have both dragged it out for several months before deciding they wouldn't do the loan for what I perceived to be fairly silly reasons(Management didn't like that the tenant had only been in for 1 year, Management didn't like that the structure used to be a residence, management didn't like that 3 years ago I took a loss in a completely unrelated business etc.)I am hoping that someone out there has had some success purchasing or refinancing commercial property like this in AZ and can put me in touch with someone who actually completes deals like this.

Once entered in a Brownsfield program, several things happen.  1.

Several people at the Meet Ups have been willing to meet with me for coffee and teach me more about their ventures.

I have several more but this should help your thought process.

There are several local community banks who would enjoy hearing your story and could possibly refi all the properties for you in a single loan.Send me a private message and I'll be happy to make some introductions for you.

However, if the tenant sues for any violation of the RLTO, section (e) goes on to state that the "well-known company" remains:"jointly and severally liable with the successor landlord to the tenant for such security deposit or prepaid rent, unless and until such transferor transfers said security deposit or prepaid rent to the successor landlord and provides notice, in writing, to the tenant of such transfer of said security deposit or prepaid rent, specifying the name, business address and business telephone number of the successor landlord or his agent within ten days of said transfer."

I have several LLC's one done by an attorney, one done by a CPA(which I may keep working with).

I'm having my resume rewritten but don't expect to earn more than $35k at a regular job (but I need some decent health insurance).
