I am always happy to help a Military Veteran and a Bigger Pockets member!

I had a much bigger building under agreement 15 unit launch financial had my rate in high 6’s with 30 year am which was great the deal ended up falling apart (not their fault seller misrepresentation) but I do like them and you can usually get them to lower their fees. 

I think a bigger reset is coming in the coming 3-6 months, so i would be extra picky in my deal analysis.

We are looking to buy a bigger primary residence to start a family.

Most people want bigger or smaller due to commerical financing 

What do you think is happening with the bigger picture to create these conditions? 

We do have a regional airport that provides connecting flights to Dallas but it is unreliable/expensive and they are unable to extend the runway to land  bigger commercial jets and don't have room to expand the common areas that would accommodate more customers.

So far, we have received this advise from appraisers in the Maple Heights area: 1) Attach all offers so the next appraiser can better understand the market value, 2) Provide a letter from the Maple Heights Building Department discussing the addition of the egress window making the bedroom conforming livable space, 3) provide comps for similar properties sold in the Maple Heights area (these do not have egress windows), and 4) create an itemized list of improvements and cost for renovations to the property.We are grateful to the Bigger Pockets community for their advice as well. 

The reason I was mostly considering it, is b/c its a legit space already has bigger windows, a newer kitchen and bath etc.  

Depending on your goals you could either:1) Cashout refinance and invest proceeds in additional purchases2) Sell or 1031-X them into bigger acquisitions3) Combination of both 1 & 2.
