If you were a burned out house owner, where might you turn for help?

But of course your advice is still valid - I don't want to get burned so I'll double-check everything (valuations, sequence of events, etc.) with the assessor.

Some get burned and some hit the jackpot.

I've tried using Chrome, Firefox & IE.

Refinancing so frequently burns a lot of wealth in terms of points and closing costs.

There is plenty of money out there, but private investors want to know you are honorable and most have already been burned before.

I still have about 4 that I need to switch over so I should save a little more once I do.But I look at it as free money that just paid for my vacations going forward......No lottery ticket though if a house burns down like I would have had.

I don't want to rely on that, since I know appraisers in our area have been conservative of late and think this is a good enough deal to burn some more midnight oil on to find other methods of funding.

Private investors can come up with some strange requirements, usually they got burned in the past and won't revisit anything like that property again.

Do this so the bank can't burn someone else and secondly, if such items scare away all the other buyers, the bank may come back to you for re-negotiations.You may want to read this thread regarding negotiations with banks.
