On a potential property you would run the numbers, if the numbers looked good you would provide the numbers to the PML. and if the PML liked what they saw they would give you the green light to purchase the house at auction with there money and you would have your house without any of your money.  

We will be putting $3,700 down, and borrowing $15,000 over 4 years at 5%, which is 4x the interest rate our relatives make on their savings in a bank CD, making both them and us very happy with the terms of the transaction.After closing, we anticipate ~$4000 in rehab costs to bring this very tired unit up to date, which will include refinishing the hardwood floors, complete repainting, new kitchen flooring, new counter top, new appliances, new lights, blinds, fans, toilet, etc.  

Level 2 River White Granite and Venetian Gold Granite are two other options I'm looking at...The home is a rental property which I'll either move back into or sell in 2-5 years.Above - Agreeable Gray wall w/ floor tileView of the kitchen (these are the old cabinets which I'm using until the new cabinet installation)Another view of the kitchen (before the recessed lighting install)...you can see where the island is going to go.Thanks!

Other renovations included new roof, appliances, AC, flooring, lighting, paint, conversion of 100 amp glass fuse panel to 200 amp thermal CBs and the elimination of gas lines. 

Hi looking for a reasonable, honest and good electrician/handyman to figure out why lights dont work and install an over the stove microwave in emeryville.

Figure your PM at 8- 10%, you will have garbage, lawn/ snow maintenance, water sewer, your taxes, insurance and loan payments. if there is common hallway or outdoor lighting, is it metered separately, if so, you will have that expense as well.
