Hello,Hope all is well.Quick question:  In general, how would you define/characterize an investor friendly bank?  

@David Roberts Characterizing most of us as liars and scammers is a blatant misrepresentation, and it is offensive!  

(I know Maryland, DC and Virginia will).To quote from NAR "Discussions about schools can raise questions about steering if there is a correlation between the quality of the schools and neighborhood racial composition--or if characterizations such as “a school with low test scores” or “a community with declining schools” become code words for racial or other differences in the community.

So you really have to characterize this as the conflicting interests of one party with equitable title v. one with real title. 

If you try to take cash out of a property around the time that it is being traded in a 1031 (Like Kind) exchange, the IRS will try to apply the “step transaction doctrine” to characterize the cash taken out as 'boot'.

Brick construction, 20 units , Built in 1970, Location NC, Area characterized as Class C.

@Liz Brumer Not sure your characterization of non performing notes is very accurate but I am glad you did this one fine. 

@Mark Neiger I wouldn't characterize this as a "bad" time, just a difficult time.

We plan to characterize the transactions as normal business and not try to skirt the regs.

About the best you could characterize the appraiser's acts would be "indiscreet".
