there was a very famous case in San Francisco 20 plus years ago.. where 2 of those dogs attacked a young women in the elevator while the owner was trying to restrain them.. and the dogs killed the young women.. and I believe the owners were also attorneys of some repute . 

I suspect you can see it because of an elevated account status. 

It is a company in my town and we live at 6000 feet elevation and have lots of cold weather and snow from October to May..and the locals are loving this heating system. 

He told me that flood coverage was available pretty much anywhere, without an elevation certificate, even where I am in coastal NC, with property on a barrier island.

In Norco, La alone there are 3 oil refineries, 2 chemical plants(one of them makes the household weed killer, Round-up) and a grain elevator... so you are looking at hundreds of workers all needing places to stay.

I would much rather have a check to check "likeable loser" with a favorable rental history, dead end but stable job, and bad credit than a person with better credit, but had an eviction or court filing by a landlord in their past or someone that moves often.Some of my best tenants went through a foreclosure or short sale, are scary to look at (if they were getting on an elevator, you would get off), live check to check, but pay their rent every month.I look at an income of three times the rent and then make sure their are no evictions or even court filings.

They are prone to disease, and insects especially in the lower elevations.  3.  

Also out of state property owners.Because I am not going to be able to qualify for a conventional 25-30% down payment loan (and I don't have that much cash), I was hoping to work something out in the neighborhood of 5% down and a slightly elevated interest rate over the life of the loan.

Also a timeline for construction docs so I can get bids from multiple builders in the area (still don't have those either).  9-13: ratified contract on the property (5 day contingency - footers)9-18: footers checked and confirmed can hold 2nd story9-20: plat sent over to Architect9-23: initial sit down with new architect to discuss plans10-14:  meet with architect  again - made minor modifications10-15: received partial elevations from architect so we could market coming soon on MLS10-25: Met with Architect and builder to get update on status and quote11-14 meeting today to hopefully confirm final plans and get them submitted for permitting (another 6-8 wks in county zoning and building)Also, would like to develop a growing relationship with an architect in NoVA that understands Arlington County Land Disturbance issues.   

Parking should not be a problem - and there is an elevator!
