I'm grandfathered into USAA because my wife's grandfather was in the military and it just got passed down so I know some military programs are like this.

Happy to share my template with you, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll pass it along. 

It was a pass for me but that is just me.  

He gave Veterans like me a free pass, and it does cover a lot of ground to new people looking to enter the business.

You could see if your landlord would be willing to entertain a bid from someone that you found that is a licensed contractor in your state.Is the replacement assessment based on what the repair person stated, or just what the landlord wants? 

You do realize that they have to not only complete a 144 hour set of classes and pass a state exam, they have to pay for their marketing, office expenses, vehicle expenses and often work their way up in a brokerage. 

I am looking at Lennar in my area and the front end incentives are hard to pass up.Lennar is a mid-tier large production builder.

But the temp lease has already stretched passed the time we planned for her to be out.

If the repairs are not sound I'd get an estimate to fix it and request a price reduction.I may also decide to do nothing- If I find evidence that the modifications were done using permits and passed the city inspection & maybe even obtained occupancy certificates then I would just close on the deal. 

Since my grandpa's wife is passed already, he has full control of the property, but if he were to sell the house, he would have to pay his wife's family a percentage of the sale, but he doesn't want to do, he would rather take out some type of loan (what loan is best in this situation?)
