Personally, my primary residence has appreciated around 6% in market value and I live in Levittown. 

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank. 15% down from personal funds. 85% down from community commercial bank. 3yr balloon, 20yr amortization, 7% interest rate.

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

They seem to be a reputable company, but nothing beats personal testimonies!

My inclination is to suggest paying back the PML 70% of the land proceeds (presumably $168K) at that closing and then hold the remaining loan until I sell the house. 

Every company has atleast 1 person who leaves a negative review but what you fail to realize is that this is real estate.

But now with the joy and headaches of non-metered units, trying to wrangle 3 different set's of persons into playing nice, etc etc.. 

Personally CA scares me. 

CA has more than half of the nations homeless/unsheltered persons. 

In addition, you want a separate bank account for the rental property to separate it from your personal accounts.
