They also ask you for things at the last second that sometimes take weeks to resolve, or don't exist in our case concerning a CO in San Bernardino, and it is just the worst experience in the world.

Hey Everyone,So to give some context, I am looking at potential investments and good locations in NYC to open a co-working space.

This was a pretty borderline accept reject case for me, so I requested a co-signer on the lease.

So, I couldn't really tell if the father is submitting as a co-signer or as a main resident.

Anyway, the answer is simply... find a co-sponsor/key principal that helps you meet those requirements.

Sorry for taking so long to respond.Bottom line up front: I would recommend working with @Thomas Rutkowski.Long version: I found out about Bank On Yourself from a co-worker who introduced me to his agent.  

A co-worker of mine is in a sticky situation.He is currently under contract to purchase a home which has an easement on the property that takes up about half the yard and is a deal breaker for them.  

By being a co-signer, that person has committed to pay the full amount of any debt or fully satisfy any obligation or responsibility.In effect, they are more committed than an investor who puts up only cash.

We put a contingency in the contract for the inspection so if it will cost too much then we won't be purchasing it.I just spoke with a licensed commercial inspector about obtaining a CO and he said it shouldn't be too hard to get.

Have them fill out an application and run them as if they are a tenant, and add a co-sign agreement.
