Mortgage for Commercial Property for Personal Use

I'm in the process of purchasing a commercial property for personal use. I plan to lease part of the building to individuals for seasonal vehicle storage to help cover the fixed costs while using the remainder as shop space for my wood and metal working hobbies. Purchase price is 70k, and I already entered a short-term land contract using a single-member LLC where I paid half the purchase price up front and half after 90 days (basically just to get possession quicker while the title work is completed.

It' not going to kill me to just pay cash, but I would prefer to not lock up all that capital if I can avoid it. I rent my residence, so I don't have the option to just take out a home equity loan or something along those lines, so my options would seem to be either an unsecured personal loan, or a commercial mortgage. I have stellar credit and income is ~80k/yr.

Is there any chance any lender would give me a commercial mortgage even though I'm not in business in the traditional sense? Starting to think it might have made more sense to buy a shitty residential property and build a huge garage even though construction cost would have been much higher than purchasing the commercial property.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
