I have messaged an agent that I’m currently doing business with and he said he would love to sit down with me and discuss everything!

This Agent should have multiple designers in their book of business.

Renovations were done by a close friend who used to be a Reno contractor but had left the business and had a W-2 job at the time; he did the work for me “on the side” when he had time.

It would be the kind of discount you might expect from being on a busy street or near train tracks.

Wondering if anyone has had luck identifying a 25-30yr commercial loan / lender who allows such a structure?

Starting my wholesale journey right now :)I have some experience in buying real estate for rentals and flips.As a rule I made for myself, I won't work in areas where I know crime levels are high and are generally low income areas, becasue I know how hard it is to sell them (if its a fix & flips) or rent them.Nowadays I'm looking into starting my wholesale business and was curious about that...Does it matter for the cash buyers?

Do I need to get a permit/CO for these structures?

While specific neighborhood recommendations can vary based on current market conditions, areas close to universities, medical centers, and business districts tend to have strong rental demand.

I spent many years in the insurance business and have never heard of a policy application for an excess, or umbrella, policy to be denied because of a claim, especially a property damage claim.

For me, a primary activity is something I can do that directly leads to business if not immediately then later.
