I am in the process of purchasing our first commercial property (retail/office) and want to setup proper structure for it.

Considering I work in the CRE industry & don't have a W-2 I've read that it's typically harder to get approved.

Receipts/invoices/that you actually spent 10k.As far as timing, we do 3 business days in and out, then wire funds next day.I believe this to be typical across the industry. 

There are a lot of career paths in this industry to think about, and maybe staying in the industry, just not as an agent, would be something that would keep you engaged in real estate and give you better insight into investing.

I'm syndicating my first two investments, both of which are industrial properties, closing before the end of the year. 

We purchased a condo with industrial style and there is one exposed air duct in the living room.

I am the one who will have the time, find the deal/deals, further continue to educate him on the real estate industry, has the connections with other investors and sponsors, will be handling/managing everything in that regard, etc.

75% LTV on a second home cash-out is pretty standard across the industry right now.

Does anyone know of a reputable turnkey renovation contractor serving the multifamily industry in the Triad (NC) that works at this scale?

I have been in the property damage restoration industry for over 15 years.
