It’s on a semi busy road with other century homes on both sides.

@Jaysen Medhurst I have talked to a 2-3 semi qualified lenders and they said once you use your first time home buyers credit, which I believe I used on the WHEDA duplex, I could only get a single family after that. 

So you have to find semi-commercial property, and you're competing against a slew of buyers who might have other uses for that property.

And now (if were something less obvious & silly than this clearly semi-joking example) you might be flipping out that you have brain cancer, when in reality you just tweaked your knee getting out of bed, and it'll sort itself out in a day or two provided you don't go running any marathons or do squats at the gym. 

@Brie Schmidt If you are planning on doing private lending on at least a semi-regular basis, consider a subscription to TLOxp.

I'll be scouting out properties for a BRRRR investor in Iowa, so I want to be able to run the numbers semi-accurately and send him only the deals he would actually be interested given the rehab costs.Thanks BP!

That means that if I'm burning up my limited time with an investor who wants to lowball offers that have a 1 in 500 chance of success, I've lost that time that I could have spent with clients who will actually buy or sell real estate.You might find a desperate rookie or semi-retired part-timer who will be happy for the "opportunity", but you're not going to get a good, professional Realtor.

The restaurant has a BBQ and a ventilation system above it - this requires semi-yearly inspection to meet restaurant inspection standards. 

Google semi-retired MD - He has a good post about this published just 2-3 weeks ago.

I use eggshell on the walls, flat on the ceiling, and semi gloss on the trim so it’s easier to wipe down.
