    Potentially yes but the biggest issue is going to be a) the experience side of the proposal and b) the LVR. Lack of comparable sales depending on the area may be an issue and lenders will lender sub 50% depending on the strength of the application.

    Commercial development finance is quite tough but building boarding homes is even tougher.

    Neither myself or the lender would be particularly comfortable with sole/majority reliance on the boarding home income for servicing.

    Its going to come down to the numbers - some think they can service but don't and some even think they can't and they can.

    Thank you for your input, yes, the development is for build to rent/hold, all studios in one title.
