The driveway is wide enough for 1 car, but long enough to fit 2 cars on it by blocking one in.

The brokers, more interested in doing a deal, would normally tell me to cross out what I didn’t like and write in whatever made me comfortable.

For example, if you were making car loans, you would still be a lender but without a mortgage.

@Jerry Zhang - What do units normally trade for in the area?

We now budget for vacations, home improvements, car savings, medical savings, Christmas fund, etc... 

Some use mail chimp, we use GHL, but there a hundred out there and it really boils down to which one you like - I like to use the analogy of buying a car, they all do the same thing - some have more bells and whistles but all do the same thing

If so, you might be able to make a unit which functionally does not make sense into a normal 2 or 3 bedroom unit.

We're never going to fix this supply problem for housing unless we can juice the number of builds getting done to where its back to normal (i.e. pre boom times from 2005 to 2008).The federal government should do the exact same thing to stretch the money.  25k down payment assistance for first time home buyers who buy new construction homes as a no interest loan payable only upon sale or transfer (i.e. if the person dies and someone inherits, that 25k could be called due). 

I have friends that routinely use ear plugs in a detached single family to eliminate noise from kids, spouses, cars going by on street, etc., when sleeping.

Yup, confirming that desirable assets in desirable areas are indeed being financed in the 5s with normal bank and credit union loans for commercial real estate.
