@Michael Wagner I like this hybrid idea in your blog, but I could also see myself overseeing a retrofit of storage units from existing warehouse space or building a few rows of small outdoor units on an existing commercial property.

And her existing loan will be paid off in the sale.  

Meaning, will the energy compliance and green building criteria cause me to have to do more work to the existing structure.

They may need to downsize, and for those already behind, subject to existing financing will become more likely their best solutions.

My market is pretty saturated and the market is high, but I'm still excited to invest here.

Im not asking for a lender but I am asking if REHAB ONLY loans exist for such a low loan amount?

I was told that I needed a site survey to get an accurate Existing building location, property lines and any encroachments from neighbors.  

As for showing the property, I think that is something that you should not show until the existing tenants are gone just to be safe and cover yourself. 

Many companies had been existing on massive debt and endless borrowing circles.

Unless it was a job only I knew of...They sound like motivated people and unfortunately their best bet may be unemployment Insurance for now.You are doing them a tremendous service by working with them- do not frustrate yourself trying to find jobs that don't exist right now.
