There are also a few credit unions around that can do some loans they hold in house, but those are less common.I wrote a more detailed blog post on it here: https://nationalland.com/blog/financing-land-important-notes-for-buyers-and-sellers/For what you described, I'd recommend reaching out to your local Farm Credit office and seeing what options they have for you.Pat

If its just an office or similar use, you could possibly designate the space as a live/work space, which is considered residential under the building code (ch 4).

I am always offered a lump sum, revenue share %, and an easement term (usually about 50 years). 

You can find that info on the chain of title records at your local county clerk office. 

Vertically integrated  they have call centers they have closers that run out to the property the second they get a lead they have office staff to handle the transactions..  3. owner is sharp knows the business inside out.. and frankly would do very well at just about any business they wanted to work in.those that do this on their own with zero help.. those come and go with the wind.. failure rate I suspect is far more than 90%Along with Markets matter.. do you live and work in a market with excess inventory that can be had.. or are U in a very tight market.. tight markets are tough..

@Kaleb HenryAdd to the fact there is also a Conventional option called Home Possible where you can do 3% down on a 1-unit or 5% down on a 2-4 unit.So if you are looking at multifamily homes, if you play your cards right, you can buy up to 12 units with 5% down, 3.5% down, and 0 down, all within slightly over 2 years (since you have to live in each for a year).And if you are working with the right loan officer and realtor, they can help you with how to use seller credits together with those low down payments to get you into these properties with very little out of pocket.TYFYS and best of luck!

Exterior/amenity improvements, unit interiors roughly 50% of the total, move leasing office from unit, to extra space in building next to laundry room (making laundry room much smaller with new laundromat next to property)

I usually just advertise it as a 2 bedroom unit with a storage/office/den/extra room, but it just feels like there is so much wasted space. 

Prior to that I was in the mortgage industry for about 6 years where I did everything from basic branch admin stuff, compliance and QC, processing, and eventually was a licensed loan officer before I decided to change paths to public safety.

Friends of mine who are property managers have given me information on the company they use to do their background checks and that I can also do a check with the local sherrif's office.
