Quote from @Allen DeRolph:

Hello, I'm looking to acquire a commercial property as my first go into real estate investing. This place is mixed use and has the ability to not only bring in market rate value and beyond but also be the foundation for a car and food business. So as where a typical commercial property is bringing in 1stream of revenue for what is was built for, the one I'm working on, has the ability to bring in 2 more streams of revenue without hindering the first. The risk is mitigated as much as possible from this scenario while maximizing profit. Excellent Roi. The challenge is from my current financial position, I don't have 2 years in business to get the SBA loan with highest LTV (90%). I will be putting in an offer of 2.3 million that I hope is accepted. The agent said the property could be worth closer to 3million. It needs maybe just some pavement work for several of the parking spots. I was thinking the best option would be is to get a hard money loan hopefully no higher than 80% LTV and refi after 6 months or so. During that time the property could be totally occupied and have the car business showing revenue from the start. Get it appraised, should be 500k of equity at least from the start of purchase price 2.3 mil if true value is closer to 3 mil and showing other revenue. So even at 20% down, I'm still at 460k. I can maybe bring in 150k-200k but the difference, I was wondering if its feasible to ask agent to propose to seller to carry remainder of the deposit as a 2nd mortgage and I pay her back aggressively after property maxed out. It would make the loan approval more feasible and she could make more income from the interest. I think it might be a long shot but I won't know if don't ask, right?

Is this situation attainable or would it be better to have a separate lending source to carry deposit note if possible?

Hard money loans are based a lot on ltv/ equity. Very doubtful 80 is at all reachable . Is the owner willing to carry some paper? Some hard money would consider a 1st position with the seller carry as long as the seller carry is reasonable with terms.

Hello!

Curious as to what you BP experts think of a potential investment opportunity.  Small community hotel for sale.  Can likely contract with hospital for housing traveling/contract physicians and nurses.  I would like to convert hotel into apartment.

Any thoughts are appreciated!


 Local mult family agents will be your best resources for these questions and local property management companies . What would be the cost of conversion and your break even . Is the location on a long term area for growth and industry job change over ?

Quote from @Joe Homs:

@Kabene Gebremariam  Let me try to answer your questions.

1.if I manage the STR myself versus managing company , Is buying around the lake or in the city better in what way ?

    You will need to check the rules, but you would need to be within 30 minutes of the property to manage it or hire someone who is.

2. Is buying 2 bed or 3 bed is good for STR?

     Always best to buy more bedrooms.

3. If you buy 3 bed and only use 2 bed for STR is the licensing by 2 /3?

     They will come out and inspect.  They will tell you how many people and cars they will approve.

4. What are the challenges having a house in mountain ?

     Same as anything that is a long distance from where you live.

5. How’s getting contractors/ handy man : cleaner and all ?

     Thats a very big challenge.  We bring them up from San Bernardino as the trades up there are very expensive.

6. Worth to buy a TLC property or better to buy furnished homes ?

     That is really up to how much work you want to do.  

7. How's business at all for STR in big bear right now , I wonder if the recession affected it or not as much ?

     Business is good, but remember its seasonal.  Winter is best.

8. Is the quarterly tax( TOT /TBID) only for the lake area or to the city too ?

     11%, this is California and you get taxed for walking outside.

9. Insurance company recommendation in the area ?

     Another big concern.  Check with an insurance Broker.

10. Appreciate if any list of which streets get snow removal from the city ?

     Anything that is paved.

11. Best managing company recommendation? All managing companies I researched are very expensive between 25-30%

     Keep looking.

12. Best cleaning company and also handy man recommendation?

     Check with management companies above.

Anything you think I should know about STR in Big bear ?

     Do your research.

Good Investing...

Network with local agents in the big bear area . They will be able to help you navigate and research this all.
