I should probably also mention that aesthetically we are "old home" people - we love details like exposed brick, beams, etc. so we're not looking for an ultra-modern "cookie cutter".

This makes sense as to why I can't find a cookie cutter answer as I could with say a conventional loan.

Hard to always use cookie cutter information from other markets in your own.

It's much more cookie cutter on SFR's (not that short sales are cookie cutter, just that they are compared to commercial loans)Regarding viewing, they probably mean no interior inspections and to not disturb the tenants.

But there is more to a condo conversion that rolling a pizza cutter over the top to divide it up.It could create value, but it's not an exercise to enter into lightly.
