Another option is to go interest only from a private source at 7%, same 1M loan on the asset, highly flexible and no additional fees as we have already got the construction loan in place on title.Currently leaning toward the private option, it could, based on flexibility, allow me to improve my balance sheet and down the road approaching other lenders to get more of a residential type product given the property has 3 titles, rather than pursuing a blanket type loan through the commercial office.Downsides of the private loan include the interest only payments don't allow me to amortize the building, and the rate is higher.
