Here is my scenario....
1 . Own a 3 story 16000 sq ft building.
2.on the first floor is a tenant who occupies 3500 sq ft. Been their 20 yrs. rent paid is 4500. Per month
3 Second and third floor 2 separate tenants leaving 6200sq ft per floor.
4 On these floors I want to build out a restaurant /bar w a catering room attached. I will be actually removing 3000sq ft of third floor to make room for a huge outdoor Patio for parties and dining.
5. I hope to generate a 65/35 split on liquor / food...
6. My question is what is the best EASIST way to get financing for the build out....
As the building stand now it is worth 1.5 m I own it free and clear
If I was to lease out same space to someone else rent would be 15-20 k
I want to borrow approx 800-1.2 m which will all be put into upgrading my building.
This should bring my property value upto 2.3 m with the upgrades and the rental increases. ( the top 2 floors had sweet heart leases only paying a combined 3200k per month.
So should I look for a bussines loan or a refinance loan. Or just look for hard money lender.... Thanks for any and all input
