My experience is those have been in short supply since beginning of time. 

Hi Jemini, I would start by doing research in the markets you're interested in to see what the rents vs. purchase prices are along with looking at the supply and demand of the market. 

Typically, co-op's are less valuable than condos for a number of reasons such as supply/demand, lack of investor interest, older units, estate planning issues, financing and board policies. 

Either that or gping with my other option of installing a bathroom on the second floor and including it with the garage as an office space.

I've had smooth loans close with Kiavi and I've had rough ones, same with Roc.When Loans start to be troublesome:1) The borrowing entity docs are a mess2) The appraisal numbers are lower than expected3) Messy background reports4) Loans happening in an environment where market/rate fluctuating unpredictably 5) Your loan officer and their team are poor at their job6) Title issues that depend on county docs, that can be slow and painfulThere's more but it's Friday and I'm tired....

Additionally, the supply of homes for sale is constrained because of this and will be for some time putting upward pressure on prices in most markets.Thinking about renting your house in Seattle would be wise as someone else will pay the mortgage down, and rents and the value of the property will go up over time.

Depending on the number of jobs and number of new development going on in the area it may just be simple supply and demand.

If you see at least a few zoned in the designations you mentioned above, that's potentially a good sign that you can get support from the local Alderman's office, and approval by the ZBA (zoning board of appeals), to rezone.

Amy Vaughn will no longer serve as the chief financial officer ("CFO") for RAD Diversified REIT, Inc.

I had a call with a loan officer yesterday and I am very intrigued, but haven't heard much in recent discussions for this product or found anything in the search bar for this bank.
