To me this makes little sense if you can get subsidized loans (meaning qualifying for Fannie Mae, NOO rentals) because 1) LOCs are short term debt and rentals are typically held longer term and 2) there is no guarantee the LOC wouldn't be called due by the lender... that's the nature of credit instruments. 

Quote from @Sarah Grace Haire: Hi Shawn!

I think its going to just take some time for the end buyers in the chain (the people responsible for buying the MBS through the whole process - generally banks, insurance cos, pension funds) - by nature are very conservative and slow to adopt to new things like SRO.Its a tough situation because the message a lot of times ends up being "rent it out traditionally on a single lease since thats more conservative" yet they are out of touch with investors who can only cash flow in this current environment with creative solutions such as rent by room, etc.

Personally I'm not really worried about natural disaster type issues in DFW. 

Think thats just the nature of the beast.

The only issue is that they're usually clumped together, meaning a lot of small time landlords dictate how the neighborhood develops, and naturally most renters are not going to do extra maintenance for someone else's property.

Any resolution to share the costs would need to acknowledge the restricted nature of the common elements involved, such as the windows."

Picture this: a cozy little hideaway tucked into the hills, surrounded by nothing but nature's beauty.

This way I can finally move out and get out of my parents hair, we’re all sick of me living there still.
