The 1st floor condo is currently utilized as a commercial office space and the layout is set-up without a full bath, proper kitchen, etc, but just right for a smaller office.The other 2 units are regular condos for families.I'm trying to figure out what option I am better off with:Option 1: Leaving the first floor unit condo as a commercial space, renovating it and trying to find an office to occupy it.orOption 2: Invest in doing a full kitchen and a full bath to make it a proper Tenant rental.Option 1 seems like it will be more economical but there is a risk it will take longer to find an office to rent the space vs a tenant, and the loss I take on finding that commercial renter may offset what it would cost to re-do the whole unit by investing in a full bath, kitchen, etc.I'm also wondering whether I'm better off having all 3 units be tenant-rental condos if it makes it easier to sell down the road or should I just consider keeping 1st unit as a commercial space and take the chance?

The plan is to use a HELOC, then do all the BRRRing, which should leave 20% of the ARV tied up in equity (the downpayment I mentioned saving for), and the rest goes back to pay off the HELOC.

Typically, you'll pay more and get a little lower split right off the bat, but like so many people say on BP - 50% of a deal is much more than 100% of nothing.

We tore the toilet out, put a sanitary cover over the hole, took off a shower head, tore off the shower door, put both the toilet and shower head on the shower floor, placed an upside down box on top of both hiding them, randomly put the shower door in another room in the house, threw a bunch of other boxes and crap in there (it may have included boxed "first night in new home toiletries and celebratory whiskey"...), and I suggested that the agent use the term "storage closet" as he opened the door for the appraiser.

First off, you should get with either Keller Williams or Coldwell Banker, they are generally regarded as the largest/most successful brokers in San Diego, but if you find a good mentor elsewhere and can get some 1 on 1 attention starting out, that's good too.
