Quote from @Seo Hui Han: Okay, I'll jump in here.I've done SBA 7(a) loans, one for 1.7mil and another for 2 mil, for two separate commercial properties (gas station c-stores, ground up raze and rebuilds). 

One could also be remote, it is just not as optimal normally we can understand.

Id love to get a few more properties under my belt before the next recession so that I have my processes optimized and ready to roll when the deals come available.  

If your property is located optimally (ie; near a lift, near the base), stands out positively compared to the comps (ie; tastefully furnished, good amenities, etc) achieving ~20+ days/month is completely doable.

Landlords buy more but don't optimize what they own.

If there's a city that is trending toward 20%+ population growth over the next 10 years, especially in an optimal demographic mix, that's a pretty safe bet for solid appreciation.
