You can get away with combining a second lien with the 1st on a commercial loan, but you are putting yourself at risk being over leveraged in a market that is tight.

I’m perfectly allowed to not choose any tenant I want because “they smell”,  “they don’t like the Simpsons” or “I got a bad vibe from them”.

Been perfectly reliable for nearly 5 years now.

Seems I'm trailing all your posts this morning :)There are a few pockets in and around Denver that would be perfect for this sort of house hack, and I have one property in mind that would be perfect, and even if you had to switch to LTR you could probably be in a comfortable spot.

Get away from NYC and it's less competitive. 

If you try to wait for the absolute perfect time, you'll be waiting forever.
