I should have taken more control of timeline and costs.

Doing this will provide each room with their own comfort options, but each room will need their own remote to control the air handle temp.

Why not assume more control with your money and more profits by doing deals on your own?

Under a term lease, you aren't really able to control when the tenant leaves, they leave when they want to even if it breaks the lease.

The purpose is so  we can spend more time working in ministry, be more generous, travel, and be in control of our time and energy and not have someone else allocate those resources to suit there own purposes.

I'm unclear if that's a decision that can be controlled at the time of purchase, or is dictated by your financial account set-up with the bank.How do you and your spouse handle your accounts, and how has it impacted your financing options?

I've flipped multiple SFHs, but this would be my first commercial deal.I've talked to several lenders, but they all have one or more issues, such as needing 25% down when I can only do 20%, proximity of property is too far from a major city (I'm in WV and no city in the entire state has more than 50,000 residents), I don't have any commercial experience or track record, etc.Therefore, I'm now contemplating asking the seller to consider leasing me control of the property for 2 years with an option to purchase within that time frame.This would provide me with the following benefits:allow me to negotiate the upcoming lease renewal of a major tenant,give me time to come up with a larger down payment,give me time to establish experience managing commercial property,give my new LLC time to establish a track record and income,give me time to find a lender willing to work with me.I will also need to pay the current listing broker their fee, and I would need to pay a deposit and monthly lease payment to the current owner.My questions are:Does anyone have experience with such an arrangement?

@Ajeenah WilkinsHi I would honestly save up aggressively while learning for few months to year and take advantage of FHA or 203k or other low down payment options programs and house hack (allow offset mortgage), while buying a house that will allow you to have quick equity (Look up BRRRR) if done correctly.

@Jonathan Ghione yes there’s an up sell to a $50,000 mentor ship program
