We're at the final steps at closing on a cottage, and an Issue I ran into is with the bank issued appraisal. 

I am seeking recommendations for GC that work in the Sugarhouse area and are familiar with the cottage style home remodels in the area including finishing basements.

I reached our to a mortgage lender & he is saying the only way I can purchase a multi-family is to purchase a single home with a separate accessory unit on the property (like a separate cottage or such) versus a duplex/triplex.I need to take advantage of the 3.5% down in order to make this work.
