What kind of condition was the property in?

What kind of properties do you sell?

@J Scott Really appreciate the kinds words.

Are you finding these kind of deals in rural North Carolina or rural areas?

It is tougher to get any kind of financing right now.

William, to my knowledge, you'd need to go to a lender that may provide an insured loan, I don't believe you can go directly to an insurer and get a policy of some kind and take that to a lender.Usually, commercial lenders only require it when a deal is over 80% LTV and on much bigger projects like a mall or large hotel, maybe 300 apartments.Since there are different types of coverage the underwriting will be different, specific to the deal.

@Ronnie Sparrow there are two kinds of due diligence you need to doFinancial due diligencePhysical Due Diligence The first one is to determine if this is a good deal.

They kind of sneak that in without saying "pre-payment penalty". :)

What kind of Cafe do you run?

Try seeing if there's a BNI group or maybe check out your local Chamber of Commerce, that kind of thing.
