The market the is in huge demand and will attract longer stay guest will be focusing on combinations of business professionals, remote workers, vacation guest and more that want access to NYC but do not want to stay in a hotel. 

In my opinion, for a rental the priority is function a little more so than form.

Buildings are a combination of many systems that must work together...like the human body, or a car. 

I’m trying to get clarity on: • How lenders typically underwrite mixed-use assets like this• Whether garage-based commercial income can be counted toward DSCR• How private lenders usually structure mixed-use loans (LTV, rate, term)• Whether bridge financing makes sense for this type of purchase• Any common pitfalls when financing C-MX-3 urban infill properties• If anyone has experience combining residential rent + small commercial income for underwriting I’m not looking to advertise or raise capital here just want to make sure I’m structuring this the right way before moving forward.

Now I’m combining both worlds to build tools that help us work smarter and more efficiently.I'm bootstrapping this and honestly not sure where it'll go, but I'd love to learn from people who've been doing this longer than me.Quick overview of what it does:https://manus.im/share/file/9e225522-d0c5-48bc-836d-260cfa20f13dIf interested, comment or DM me and I’ll send a beta intake form.

When you combine that with networking, you’ll start building the confidence and insight needed to invest successfully.The key is patience and consistent learning; small steps compound fast in this business.

Small functional upgrades also go a long way, such as adding in unit laundry, improving storage, upgrading kitchens just enough to attract better tenants, or improving parking and outdoor space.

It's functional though as I've pivoted to mobile home parks it feels more clunky.

The combination of being investor-minded and actively buying yourself will compound quickly in a market like Massachusetts.

Value was created through targeted renovations that improved functionality, appearance, and overall buyer appeal.
