These new regs have severely impacted the design constraints for pop-ups and pop-backs, especially within RF zones that now essentially guarantee that any significant additions will have to go through BZA which is a time consuming and potentially expensive process.

Congrats on moving forward with your investing Phil.If you use consumer banks she is correct.

I have gotten loans like these in others states but its not easy.. its time consuming .

For instance in my cit I dont cover the east side and I dont do much commercial so a consumer would be best to find an agent who knows the east and or commercial.

I do not have the regulation handy, but i believe it is a department of consumer protection regulation.

If you have income and can pull it off, you will also learn about buy and hold rentals (btw, a more simple long term tenant or even month to month may be less time consuming than the short term AirBnB strategy).Now to those dreaded golden handcuffs (the secure, well paying job with great benefits that can lock you in and make it hard to let go)...... who knows.

I have been consuming the podcast for about three weeks now.  

But many lenders won't want to do it, so you'd have to shop around and expect to pay higher rates because the product isn't available for consumer loans.

I would echo the advice to buy a quality used car in the 5-10k range and invest the rest of the money.As a side note, anytime you see lower than 5% interest on consumer products like cars, jewelry, solar panels, whatever... it is always done by the retailer increasing the price and using that money to buy down the interest rate.

Now that I have done so, I feel a little more comfortable putting myself out there.As a new member and amateur, some things that I have already learned are: This business is not easy, it is time consuming, it is not a get rich quick process and it requires a lot of hard work and motivation.
